An attorney for the county supervisor calls the sheriff’s search warrant “a flagrant abuse of power and an offense to the rule of law.” A court hearing is set later in the week.
A court order requiring the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department toseized from L.A. Metro’s inspector general has been expanded by a Superior Court judge to also include devices taken from the home of Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and from other county agencies.
Ryan received emergency applications Monday from attorneys for Kuehl, Metro’s headquarters and Max Huntsman, Los Angeles County’s inspector general, requesting similar rulings in their favor. The judge declined to dismiss the warrants outright and did not order the return of any of the seized property, but he has agreed to freeze the searches temporarily until he can hear all sides at a hearing scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 22.
“Simply put, this search warrant should be seen for what it is: a flagrant abuse of power and an offense to the rule of law,” O’Connor wrote in the emergency application.
