We talked with the ACLU Northern California branch in late December and to ACLU lawyers who called us today.
We hope to file FOIA requests to compel the Santa Cruz Police Department and the city administrators to
1. turn over any files, notes, or photographs they compiled during their undercover infiltration of parade organizers
2. turn over any files relating to individuals involved in this or related investigation
3. turn over any investigation of suspected local anarchist groups or events
4. reveal any collaboration, understandings, or sharing of information with federal or state law enforcement agencies regarding local political groups
5. immediately cease undercover investigations of political groups or events in which there is no concrete evidence of a crime
And no, I don't think the concerned source within the police department is going to come forward and jeapordize their job and working relationships. Police have already publically confirmed everything we were told privately.
