Complaint

Abuse of Authority

Statement

The above named officer threatened me on this day that I could go to prison. She kept trying to push a narrative that did not happen, she bullied me and harassed me. This has caused me to have a huge amount of stress and anxiety. I even quit my job because it was in the same building that she would work in as school resource officer in the Modoc Middle School building located at 906 West 4th Street, Alturas CA 96101. She walked into my office down the hall. She also got the code to my door in January 2025 from the chief of police at that time Marc Muller (chief Marc Muller was recently fired for misconduct), she went into my home without my permission, which is a violation of my rights.

California Public Records Act

§ 6250-6268

The California Public Records Act is a series of laws meant to guarantee that the public has access to public records of governmental bodies in California. In December of 2011, a Superior Court judge ruled that the California Assembly must also disclose budget records of individual lawmakers, after some California newspapers filed a lawsuit accusing legislators of flouting the state’s open records laws.

Public records in the California Public Records Act are defined as “any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics.” There is a separate category of “purely personal information” that, although it may be in the custody of a government agency, does not fall under the act. Statute 6255 states a catch all exemption, “The agency shall justify withholding any record by demonstrating that the record in question is exempt under express provisions of this chapter or that on the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.”

Anyone can request public documents in California, and a purpose does not have to be stated. The California Public Records Act does not regulate the use of records obtained from public agencies. One should allow 10 days for an agency to comply with a records request.
