I don't think so.

Public's trust rests upon authorities being openly accountable.
If any authority refuses to disclose information to the public,
they are stripping the public of its ability to hold them accountable,
which will as likely as not result in a loss of public trust.
However, it is the authorities that first display a lack of trust
in the public.
