Alameda County Public Defender Brendon Woods has come forward with new allegations that Berkeley police officers are violating a state law when dealing with arrested minors.
There are new allegations of misconduct inside the Berkeley Police Department. The Alameda County public defender has come forward with new claims that officers are violating the law by not reading minors who are under arrest their Miranda rights.
"They’re seven times more likely to be stopped in Berkeley than Caucasians," Chanin said. "More significantly, when they are stopped, they’re 25% more likely to be let go because there was no reason to be stopped in the first place." "I think we as a city should make a very careful decision about who should be leading our department going forward, especially given these new allegations," Mizell said."I am glad that the City Manager pulled the appointment of Jen Louis as Chief last night. Earlier in the evening we heard of alarming allegations from the County Public Defender Brendon Woods that BPD officials violated the Miranda rights of juvenile suspects.
