Conduct Unbecoming [Off-Duty]

Statement

Hello, I met Allen Lemus online on Coffee Meets Bagel. We went out on 1 date. I texted him that I was not interested in him. Since then, he has prank called me, used profanities and scare tactics via text using random numbers, signed my cell phone number up for spam texts, etc. He gave me his work card before this happened so I know he is in law enforcement. I am afraid of retaliation. That is why I didn't report this until now after I thought about it and asked my friends what I should do. One text said that he will get me and watch out which I considered a threat. I will show the texts once someone contacts me. Thank you.

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.
