Practice question
An officer properly files a report in good faith during regular duties. A week later the officer sells the report's contents to a commercial rival. The officer claims that safe harbor for filing permanently immunizes the later sale. Which is correct?
- The later sale automatically becomes regular reporting
- The qualifying filing and the separate unauthorized disclosure must be analyzed separately; safe harbor does not itself protect the sale
- The rival becomes AMLC by buying the file
- All reports become public records immediately
- A price tag creates legal authority
