Summary edit

Description
English: Los Angeles, California — On February 7, 2023, at around 3:35 p.m., Van Nuys Gang Enforcement Detail (GED) uniformed officers observed a male Hispanic, identified as Ramon Gonzalez, riding his bicycle in the area of Tyrone Avenue and Victory Boulevard. The officers had prior knowledge that Gonzalez was wanted for a murder warrant and named on an Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW) shooting Investigative Report (IR) that occurred in Van Nuys Division. The officers ordered Gonzalez to stop while broadcasting for back-up. Gonzalez failed to comply with the officers’ commands. The officers drove alongside Gonzalez at which time he made contact with the passenger side mirror causing him to stop, get off the bicycle, and flee on foot. As the passenger officer prepared to exit the police vehicle to pursue Gonzalez, a Tactical Unintentional Discharge (TUD) occurred. The officers continued to chase Gonzalez through a parking lot towards Victory Boulevard. During the foot pursuit, Gonzalez removed a handgun from his waistband, turned and pointed it at one of the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS). Gonzalez was struck by the officer’s rounds, dropped his handgun, and was subsequently taken into custody. Gonzalez was transported to a local hospital and treated for his injuries and cleared for booking. Gonzalez was booked on an open charge of ADW on a Police Officer with a Firearm, and his No Bail felony warrant for Murder. Additional charges for the ADW Shooting IR are pending. No officers or citizens were injured during the incident. A handgun was recovered at scene. The handgun was identified as a Ghost Gun with one round in the chamber and nine rounds in the magazine.

Public domain This file is a work of a Los Angeles Police Department officer or employee, taken or made as part of that person's official duties.

Records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." (Cal. Gov't. Code § 6252(e).) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise." County of Santa Clara v. CFAC California Government Code § 6254 lists categories of documents not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. In addition, computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant to EFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records.

Although the act only covers “writing,” the Act, pursuant to Government Code § 6252(g), states: “Writing” means any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored.

Agencies permitted to claim copyright

California's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted outside of the United States without clear evidence to the contrary:

County of Santa Clara v. CFAC held that the State of California, or any government entity which derives its power from the State, cannot enforce a copyright in any record subject to the Public Records Act in the absence of another state statute giving it the authority to do so.
Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may have to be released by such agency since they are public records, their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?.
