Complaint

Criminal Behavior

Statement

On April 23, 2021 in Napa CA, Officer Nicholas Toscani with the Napa PD intentionally manipulated a lidar to the speed I was accused of going over. I knew I wasn't speeding and went to Court. I presented what evidence I had and the officer only had his word, which has proven to be lies. I appealed my case and it was upheld. The BWC / Flex audio-video clearly shows Officer Toscani intentionally manipulating the lidar just prior to pointing at my vehicle. I have a copy of the video and court transcripts to prove that Officer Toscani is a corrupt cop! I had to pay fines and increased auto insurance due to fraudulent points on my record.

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.
