California Office of the Attorney General Incident Report for Brandon Lopez Shooting: page 24 https:lloag.ca.gov/system/files/ois/report/2023-11—Lopez—AB 1506—Report.pdf Anaheim PD critical incident video: time stamp 10:30-11:30 https://youtu.be/iLninmgleHik) This latest act the public reporting of provably false information by a sitting councilmember is not only defamatory,retaliatory, and deeply damaging to my reputation and mental well-being, but also constitutes a direct-violation of the Santa Ana City Charter. I would also like to note that ; possibly facing_ for a . I have taken no part in any online quarrel between Councilman Hernandez and members of the Santa Ana Police Department. Violations of the Santa Ana City Charter 1. Charter Section 408—Interference in Administrative Matters: Section 408 of the Santa Ana City Charter states: "Except for the purpose of inquiry,the City Council and its members shall deal with the administrative branch... solely through the City Manager or his designated deputy,and neither the City Council nor any member thereof shall give orders to any subordinates of the City Manager,either publicly or privately." Councilmember Hernandez's conduct including reporting internal police department material and using his public office to weaponize departmental content for political or personal attacks clearly violates this section.Based on the ongoing litigation I have brought forth against the City of Santa Ana,I interpret Councilman Hernandez' actions to be an intimidation tactic by a sitting member of the city's elected leadership. 2. Charter Section 1501 —Violations Are Misdemeanors Charter Section 1501 provides that: "The violation of any provision of this Charter shall be deemed a misdemeanor and be punishable upon conviction in the same manner as provided in the Penal Code of the State of California..." By engaging in conduct that violates Section 408,Councilmember Hernandez is committing a misdemeanor offense under city law.His repeated interference in departmental affairs and misuse of internal police documents not only undermines the trust between City Council and City staff but also places the city at legal and reputational risk.
