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...
Initial reports said the 59-year-old public defender had been traveling when he suddenly had a heart attack.
Carmody remembers his goal as a reporter on the story was to figure out where exactly Adachi died. But soon, salacious details emerged that were difficult to confirm. “There were leaks happening all over the place,” he recalled. He ultimately obtained an incident report that detailed Adachi’s final moments.
...
The document, as reported by KGO-TV in San Francisco, detailed that shortly before his death, Adachi had dinner with a woman named “Caterina” who was not his wife, then returned to an apartment he arranged to use for the weekend. The woman called 911 for emergency medical help, and Adachi was taken to the hospital, where he died. Later that night, officers went to the apartment and found “alcohol, cannabis-infused gummies and syringes believed to have been used by the paramedics,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Photos of the apartment circulated online by KTVU and other outlets. The city medical examiner would later conclude Adachi died of an accidental overdose of cocaine and alcohol.
...
Amid a public mourning, city officials chastised police for allowing the details of a confidential report to end up in the headlines. The police launched an internal investigation into the report’s leaking, which led to Friday’s raid at Carmody’s home.
Apprently they did not want the truth out that he was cheating on his wife and overdosed on cocaine and alcohol.
I don't know what if anything this has to do with Trump, but it is disturbing. It's not a new trend unfortunately. Hopefully the folks behind the raid get what is coming to them

Re Trump... Just my sarcasm in ANOTHER example of liberals doing in real life what they accuse others of doing. In this case, they claim on occasion that Trump threatens the freedom of the press.
Seems to me some law here would have been broken by the journalist. Knowingly receiving then possession of stolen property then selling and distribution of stolen property. A double edged sword also, by not naming sources you by default become the source, or source one.
I mean if one knowingly receives a stolen gun, then sells said gun...felony.

Who said he stole something? He's a freelance reporter and someone gave him the report. The second link above also stated the the SF Chronicle had obtained the report - but not from this reporter.
Apparently the US Constitution is suspended in San Francisco.
