Police raided the home and office of a freelance journalist Friday morning as part of an ongoing investigation into a leaked confidential police report containing salacious details about the death of late Public Defender Jeff Adachi.
Freelance journalist Bryan Carmody told the San Francisco Examiner that his home and office were raided by police and FBI agents because he had obtained a copy of the police report, and sold information from that report to the press following Adachi’s death on February 22.
...
They confiscated his cell phones, computers and a copy of the police report from within his office safe.
...
Carmody said that police and FBI agents attempted to enter his home at 8:30 a.m. using “a sledgehammer.”
“They were in the process of breaking my gate down at which time I woke up and let them in,” said Carmody, adding that the authorities entered his home with guns drawn and searched “my entire house from attic to garage.”
Carmody said that he was detained in handcuffs for more than seven hours and asked to be released several times, but that authorities refused his request. He said he remained in handcuffs as police brought him along with them to his Western Addition office, where they found the police report in a safe.
I may have to dig into who this guy was and what happened. Anyone know offhand? Add links please...
"There were claims that the freedom of the press would be compromised during the Trump Administration.
Second, when you get into parts of the country where only one party is in control you get cover-ups because it's easy to do and there is no outside political force to challenge things.
So in this case, no one will be punished although they should (unless the feds get involved).
Just look at the Laquan McDonald case in Chicago under Rahm Emanuel. Huge cover-up, caught paying hush money to the kids family...cop that did it almost got away with it, finally charged years later and all the cops that lied are maybe losing their jobs. No one up in city hall signing off on a secret 7mil settlement (how high up do you have to go to get authority to just write a check for that amount?).
Hopefully, because the FBI was involved in the initial raid the FBI will turn around and gut the locals that were behind this like a fish.
Branzburg v. Hayes 1972 - all members of the public are the press.
Sorry Bent, that is not accurate.
