Not sure how to get info on someone who was arrested for vandalizing my car.

Even if it was and he could prove it, it's almost certainly not actionable as a CPRA request.

Besides, an agency has no reason to deny providing arrest info. Many post this stuff on their website as a matter of course, or release it regularly. It's not an issue ... unless the subject has not actually been arrested, or is a juvenile. Or, there is a vested investigative interest in keeping the info confidential for the moment. I strongly suspect if there is info to release, they will. Because ... why not? The agency may also have a policy prohibiting officers from releasing this info outside agency policy (usually focusing such requests on a particular person or office in the agency).

If he has not yet been arrested, then the provisions of GC 6254(f) do not yet apply. And all because the agency is seeking a warrant does not mean that it will be quick to come - or, that it will come at all. L.A. County isa very large and possessed of a heckuva bureaucracy, so I would not imagine that things move quickly. Property offenses are loooooow priorities and often not prosecuted, so it may be even more time before much happens.

STOP USING EMAIL!

Write a letter - sent using certified mail return receipt!

I just found the page on the LAPD website on how to request a copy of the arrest report. Yes I will do certified mail. Thanks
