Judge criticizes county’s conflict in force records case

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge criticized the county’s legal counsel for a conflict of interest in resisting the release of Sheriff’s Department use-of-force records sought by the Civilian Oversight Commission. The court questioned whether the county’s outside counsel, representing the county rather than the oversight body, had appropriately addressed ethical duties. The lawsuit arises from subpoenas for records related to three incidents, including a fatal shooting and two assaults by deputies, which the Sheriff's Department has withheld citing confidentiality and union processes. The case highlights ongoing tensions over the oversight body's authority to access law enforcement records.
