The Richmond Police Officers Association sued the city in January to block the release of any pre-2019 records, including Perez’s access to information related to his son’s death and Jensen’s discipline record.
Officers have long relied on the expectation that information from internal affairs investigations would be kept confidential. Therriault, the Richmond POA president, said the new law changes the rules of the game halfway through.More than 100 cities have already started turning over records. Others have taken a variety of positions to stall or prevent release.Morgan Hill burned eight banker’s boxes of records on Dec. 27, according to City Attorney Donald Larkin.
“The boxes are stacked in such a manner causing it to be dangerous for an employee to enter the container to retrieve the records,” wrote Lindsay Police Chief Chris Hughes. “We are in the process of placing a new for storage and organizing the old container so it is not dangerous to enter.” “It's become quite clear through numerous court rulings now that the unions' arguments are totally groundless,” said David Snyder, head of the San Rafael-based First Amendment Coalition, which is defending the law’s application to past records in several cases in Northern and Southern California.
