Law says..." State, county and municipal law-enforcement agencies shall report to the Department all hate crimes occurring in their jurisdictions in a form, time and manner prescribed by the Superintendent. Such reports shall not be open to public inspection except insofar as the Superintendent shall permit."

Now why would the Police Want to keep Hate Crime a secret?

Because 99% of them are complete bullshit and end up with the person making the false claim being charged.
