The defense contended that San Francisco police violated their own rules, and subsequently illegally detained the defendant by lying to him about having an arrest warrant.
SAN FRANCISCO — On Jan. 27, a Bay Area federal public defender filed a motion to dismiss a gun possession case against her client, arguing that police violated their own regulations during a downtown police chase, then lied about her client having an arrest warrant weeks later to conduct and illegal search of his car.
The case stemmed from two instances: a Jan. 12, 2022 police chase in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, and the defendant’s arrest on March 2, 2022, by several San Francisco police officers. Prosecutors say that during a search of the defendant’s car the day he was arrested, a Glock pistol with an extended magazine was found, as well as small amounts of heroin and methamphetamine.
