I will just let you read it and draw your own conclusions.
First Amendment VS corrupt LEO

I read the article. The list of names they have include people who applied to be cops, and we're rejects when they went through the background check. I'd find it very hard to believe a police department would hire a candidate who was convicted of child molestation or murder.
Then Why does the State have issue with it being used? If in fact an applicant was rejected due to criminal history the Dept could use that so show they are following procedures and protocols and they are working. If they are worried about "outing" someone who did not make the cut, well isn't most criminal history public info?
I am not trying to bash LEO, they have a tough job. Couple of my best friends are LEO. What I am trying to figure out is what is the state trying to hide? I don't care for a government entity saying "no you can't have/use that info". Sans national security.
I hesitated to do the OP but wanted other's opinions, thoughts.
Based on the article, the CA DOJ does not want the information obtained to be spread due to there being information of non-police officers in there. They were rejects. Now, if there are active cops that have criminal convictions for drug sales, child abuse, etc... fine, out them and make them go away. I don't want them in my profession.
I think they should scrub the list of anyone who is not a active law enforcement officer, and let the agencies get some public pressure to figure out what is fuck happens when/how certain people were hired.
It said in there I'm sure that it ALSO included data on people who applied, but didn't make it. That's not the story. Nobody cares about them.
The story is about the crooked cops they did cover up for.
Feds love and get away with secrecy, now CA wants that power. Piss on them and their crooked cops, out 'em if they're fucked up and out whoever is actively covering for 'em too. This crooked cop shit is just way to prevalent to let slide.
We the People simply do not want, nor need, shitbag cops. It's not a position like President of the US, where the lowest common 'tard is fit for the job. Some just aren't cut out to be a cop.
