345C: Trial Judge may excuse disclosure of information relating to Police investigations
or “The judge can decide not to share information about how the police did their work.”
You could also call this:

“Asking permission to change the official document that says what someone did wrong”

This law was about allowing changes to be made to indictments. An indictment is a formal document that accuses someone of a crime. However, this part of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 1 July 2013. This means you can’t use this rule anymore if you need to change an indictment.
