Really, breaking down the door of a journalist with a sledgehammer with guns drawn and then holding him in handcuffs for 7 hours because he reported on something they didn't want released? He's not even the person who leaked the report. I'd call it that overkill. I wonder what they told the judge who signed off on this waste of resources. You'd think SF had more crime issue that could be dealt with first.
- johnwyles 7y agoI am curious: why are police reports confidential? Of course they could be very damning to a large number of people if they were public but I am wondering why they are not public records searchable in a database? What is required to make them public? Are they just available for trial after what I presume is a subpoena or some form of discovery?
- craftinator 7y agoMaybe they are confidential because they can corrupt a jury before the information can be presented by lawyers? Just a thought.
