Saying its a matter of officer safety, the state House gave preliminary approval Tuesday to require police departments to shield the names of officers involved in shootings....
SB 1445 is mandatory. The only way the public can find out in that period who killed someone else is if the officer is arrested, a criminal investigation is complete or the officer consents to the release in writing....
It does permit the public to request the disciplinary record of any officer who has been involved in a shooting without waiting for 60 days. But the legislation specifies that the only way such information could be released is there is no way to actually identify the officer..
What were doing is trying to protect the police officer and his family, and even his neighbors from having their tranquility molested, said Rep. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City.
"having their tranquility molested"?! What about all the Latino men who had
their tranquility molested?!
