The LA Times general counsel sent a letter to the sheriff on Tuesday. The sheriff's office said it would investigate the reporter for her work. A leaked video shows a deputy kneeling on an inmates head. A lawyer for the Los Angeles Times put the sheriff on notice after the department announced it would be investigating a reporter who wrote an article. In an open letter published on the Times website, LA Times general counsel Jeff Glasser said the investigation appears to be a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate the LA Times reporter. A month after she wrote about the leaked video in which a deputy was seen kneeling on an inmates head, the LA County Sheriff's Department opened an investigation into her conduct. LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said during a press conference Tuesday that the department would look into charges of conspiracy, theft, and unauthorized use of a database against Tchekmedyian, Eli Vera, and the inspector general. Glasser said that well-established constitutional law bars prosecutions of news reporters for publishing information from confidential official records, including leaked videos that involve matters of public interest. He listed several court cases that granted journalists protection when publishing information. The LA County Sheriff's Department tried to bar the LA Times from publishing an article that proved the department had hired 280 employees with histories of misconduct. The court decided that journalists can't be sued for publishing newsworthy information through routine reporting techniques and that they can ask people questions. Glasser said that threats of prosecution would be an abuse of power. The federal Privacy Protection Act of 1980 states there is a reason for legal action against law enforcement officials who wrongly target journalists. If the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department attempts to search the property or data of Ms. Tchekmedyian, they will be in violation of the law and the L.A. Times will seek every available remedy.
