The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) accused the Inglewood Police Department of failing to supply any documents in response to multiple public records requests filed over an extended period.
A judge has ruled that the department systematically violated the state’s public records law by withholding information and failing to comply with disclosure requirements.
"The department did not produce a single document despite numerous requests," the ACLU stated, emphasizing a long-standing pattern of non-compliance.
This ruling highlights serious transparency issues within the department and stresses the need for adherence to public records laws that ensure accountability.
