Wait, the city is suing him for requesting public records. Well maybe he was just pestering them with BS requests.
Seattle PD is arguing that they are caught in the privacy law, what fails me though is these videos are a matter of public record. There are admissible in court as evidence. The only reason I know of privacy laws being involved is if the victim has been sexually assaulted. But then we see the real motivation behind these efforts. It has nothing to do with protecting the privacy of the public and everything to do with protecting their corrupt police officers.
Wonder why they don’t have to release videos until after the statute of limitations? Could it be a game of cover your ass kids? Remember this is the same department who shot someone in the back. This also isn’t their first rodeo in the count either. Three or more times is enemy action.

Because when an officer beats someone, hold on to the video and delay it until it no longer matters.
