Dui records of California Senator kept secret from the public

The democratic senator in California is now considering judging police in Sacramento for what he claimed to have been a “politically motivated” counterfeit arrest of DUI designed to “remain silent” LGBTQ Latina Lawmaker, her lawyer says.

Employees insist that they acted professionally and say they had evidence to believe Senator Sabrina Cervantes He was driving under the influence of medication, although it was later reported that a blood test turned out to be different.

Meanwhile, a Democratic District Prosecutor He insists that politics has nothing to do with his decision not to charge.

Who tells the truth? At this point, the public has no way of confirming someone’s account.

This is because the authorities refuse to release records such as body chamber, police reports and search orders that would shed light on what happened on May 19, when Sacramento police accused Cervantes in Riverside that he was driving under the influence of a few blocks of a few blocks. It was charged nearly two weeks later after prosecutors said that no intoxicants were found in Cervantes’ blood.

It is worrying that employees have refused to release records relating to a criminal investigation of a chosen civil servant, said David Snyder, CEO of the first amendment coalition. He said the recording organs withholding could “shed light on whether it is harassed or whether it refers to it.”

“There are many different stories that fly around,” he said. “And in order to arrange these stories, the public has the right to see what the police know and what they believe at that time.”

Instead, the public was left with controversial stories of what happened after a driver claimed to have passed through a stop sign and crashed into the Cervantes state car this Monday afternoon. Police quote the other driver to manage the braking sign.

Conflict stories about Cervantes treatment

After the crash spoke of the Sacramento Police Department told Calmatters that Cervantes has been cited as a suspicion that he “drives a motor vehicle under the influence of a central nervous system depressant.”

When Sacramento District Prosecutor announced last month that no charges will be raisedPolice released a second statement. In it, police claim that when employees met with Cervantes at a hospital in Sacramento, they “observe objective signs that made them believe that it may have been broken while driving a motor vehicle.”

“The employees remained professional all the time, taking the time to explain the process and answer all the questions of the senator,” the statement said.

Employees said Cervantes initially declined to participate in office sobriety tests. Therefore, they asked for a Cervantes order to obey a blood test and told Cervantes that they had asked for one.

“While the order is written and processed, the senator has voluntarily agreed to provide a blood sample,” police said. Officers decided to wait for a judge to sign the order before conducting blood equality, police said.

The district prosecutor said prosecutors had reviewed “all the evidence presented, including police reports, statements by witnesses and laboratory results.”

“Based on our ethical obligation and the burden of proof in the criminal case, the Sacramento County Office refuses to raise all the accusations in this case,” Shelley Orio, a spokesman for the office, said in an email, said in an email on May 30.

Cervantes maintained his innocence from the beginning and claimed that the police had been rudely treated.

In a statement to reporters after police announced the DUI arrest, she said the employees “accompanied her” while she was checked in hospital and that drug and alcohol tests would prove her sobriety.

Cervantes released heavily edited records, which she said were from their visit to the hospital where the test shows a blood alcohol content near zero. A separate urine test taken on the day after the crash showed a clean drug screen.

Senator was aimed at race, sexual orientation?

CERANTES was aimed at race, sexual orientation?

On Tuesday, Cervantes’ lawyer in San Francisco, James Kadra, told Cailtatters that his client was considering bringing a case stating that police had violated its “state and federal rights, constitutional rights, civil rights and to deal with defamatory statements against it.”

Squadra said that he and his client believe that Sacramento’s employees have directed Cervantes because of what she is.

“We believe that they (the police) were politically motivated because the information was disseminated (to the press) and the whole kind of picture of it was influenced,” he said. “In our opinion, this is to try to silence an active member of the Latin American Democratic Coach of LGBTQ+ cause. They want to silence her voice.”

Quadra said the hospital staff refused to let her call her lawyer or his wife, and then, after referring to her for DUI, “leaked” information about the reporters case to smear her.

“It’s like a police country,” Quadra said. “This is what we see throughout the country, especially with Latin Americans, and it is a member of this community.”

The police spokesman in Sacramento SGT. Dan Wisman said he couldn’t comment on Quadra’s claims. The department declined to make available Catherine Leicester for the interview.

Officials reject CalMatters recording requests

On the day after the crash, CalMatters examined footage from the protective camera of a nearby office building, which appears to show that Cervantes is not guilty.

The shots showed a white all -terrain vehicle, rolling through a stop sign and headed for the Black Seadan sedan at the intersection in Sacramento. Cervantes seems to have had the right.

Calmatters also filed requests under the California Public Records Act, looking for personnel from body cameras, police reports and a search order. The order will include applications from investigators who describe in detail as a judge why they think they had a probable reason to attract Cervantes’ blood.

A month later, the police department did not release any of the records, stating that the collision with the traffic remained in an investigation, although the district prosecutor clears Cervantes and the police, citing the other driver. California police have a broad freedom of judgment to refuse investigative records indefinitely and whether the investigation has been completed.

Calmatters also sought copies of the search order from the Supreme Court of Sacramento County and the District Prosecutor’s Office of Sacramento County. The District Prosecutor’s Office indicated the same release from the Public Records Act, which allows agencies to refuse an indefinite investigation.

Wisman said the employees returned the search order to court, but when Calmatters asked him at the Court of Justice on Tuesday, the Sacramento Supreme Court official stated that he was not available.

Quadra, a Cervantes lawyer, said his client was “100% behind all and all the records that were released”.

“She is not afraid of this because the records will clearly find that she was not under the influence of nothing,” he said. “She was a victim of an accident. She was t-smoked and taken to the hospital.”

DA denies Partyanshine ‘played a role

CalMatters also sought the correspondence of the Public Records Act between the District Prosecutor’s Office and the lawmakers of California, who could show whether Cervantes or other influential political figures seek to influence the decision of the District Prosecutor Tien Ho, who is also a Democrat.

The District Prosecutor’s Office replied that there were no appropriate records. But the agency declined to release the HO appointment calendar for May, saying that it was confidential and that “the public interest served by not revealing those exceeding the public interest served by their disclosure.” Other agencies routinely launch calendars to appoint senior officials.

Ho did not respond to a request for an interview through his speaker, answering instead with a short email statement.

“As for your claim to guerrillas, we stand for our decision not to have charges, since the results of the laboratory have not found no evidence of alcohol or drugs,” the statement said.

A first amender Snyder said the public should be disturbed by the secret surrounding the case.

“The public, he said,” has the right to know whether the police are applying the law evenly or whether they create exceptions based on who the person in question is. “
