The City Council president of Providence is asking the city's attorney to review Judge Frank Caprio's TV program. "Caught in Providence", which is produced by the politically-prominent Caprio family, was a public-access show featuring real cases out of Municipal Court before it was picked up by the Law & Crime Network.
Among the questions that have been raised is whether the Caprios make money off the show while using city resources.
The City Council also wants to see any written agreement the city has with the Judge.
For his part Judge Caprio has not commented.
