Reporter Investigates Sheriff’s Department, Which Investigates Reporter

• “Times Reporter Was Leaked List of Problem Deputies. The Sheriff’s Department Investigated Her,” by By Keri Blakinger and Alene Tchekmedyian, the Los Angeles Times, July 20, 2024.

Questions: Did the Sheriff’s Office have a legitimate reason for investigating Los Angeles Times reporter Maya Lau? If she were charged, what defenses could she have raised? Were there any valid legal or public policy reasons for keeping the Brady list secret in the first place?
