"We are waiting for a legal decision if we can release the picture or not. Cory may have POBR (Police Officers Bill of Rights) rights that we need to investigate."

ReplyDeleteSo relevant code section is 3307.5, but uses the language “as a condition of his employment” submitting to a photo. Advice on whether or not his public record booking photo is going to come from County Counsel, who not to put too fine a point is on a pretty rough losing streak. The bottom line is that POBR does not prevent the release of a booking photo from a criminal action. The picture is required because a Judge ordered him remanded and booked into the HCCF not as a condition of his FORMER employment as a CO. I hope this is not them protecting their own.
i would think that the state laws would trump the Police Officers Bill of Rights.
