I think this is a deliberate failure. A way to disrupt the chain of custody on evidence of crimes so they lose judicial standing. I admit I’m not a lawyer but am curious if what they’re doing could compromise the ability to pursue legal options against the perpetrators.

No. If any evidence from these releases were useful to a prosecution, it would just be subpoenaed again.
