PJLC Represents the ACLU in Lawsuit Demanding Documents from Inglewood PD

The ACLU has retained the PJLC to represent the organization in seeking a temporary restraining order against the City of Inglewood, demanding that they stop destroying records of police misconduct. Today, PJLC lawyers appeared in court and won the restraining order. While the ACLU is a public interest law firm and typically litigates cases themselves, in this instance, they needed outside counsel. We are honored that the ACLU would choose the PJLC to represent them in court.

The City of Inglewood is apparently attempting to repeat their 2018 decision to shred documents on the eve of new transparency laws taking effect. A few weeks before SB 16 took effect on January 1 of this year, the Inglewood City Council voted to destroy a cache of internal affairs investigations into Inglewood Police Department officers. The ACLU of Southern California, who had requested internal affairs documents in 2019 but still not received them, seeks to stop the destruction of the documents.

Among the documents the ACLU seeks is the file for the investigation into the highly publicized killing of Kisha Michael by Inglewood Police Department officers.
