RE: Public Records Request of June 30, 2024, Reference # S002334-063024

Dear Michael Locke,

On July 27, 2024, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office received your message regarding the status of your request. On July 25, 2024, an additional 14-day extension was sent, and on July 26, 2024 the San Diego County Sheriff's Office provided the following response to your request:

On June 30, 2024, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office received your request for records pursuant to the California Public Records Act (CPRA) wherein you requested the following:

1. Any and all records, including but not limited to reports, investigations, referrals, communications, case files, and evidence, relating to National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline reports about Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm received or investigated by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department from January 1, 2019 to the present.

2. Any and all records of communications, including emails, letters, and memos, between the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department regarding NCMEC CyberTipline reports or investigations relating to Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm from January 1, 2019 to the present.

3. Any and all records of communications, including emails, letters, and memos, between Twitch Interactive, Inc. and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department or the San Diego ICAC Task Force regarding Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm from January 1, 2019 to the present.

In response to your request for any and all records, including but not limited to reports, investigations, referrals, communications, case files, and evidence, your request is denied pursuant to Government Code section 7927.705, incorporating Penal Code section 13300 et seq. Your request seeks information derived from summary criminal history. California law prohibits the release of an individual's local summary criminal history, and any information derived therefrom. The release and receipt of such information, except as allowed by statute, is punishable as a misdemeanor. Additionally, records of a law enforcement investigation, or any investigatory or security files compiled by a law enforcement agency are exempt from disclosure. Cal. Gov't. Code § 7923.600; Haynie v. Superior Court, 26 Cal. 4th 1061, 1071-72 (2001).

Pursuant to Government Code section 7923.610, records and information are limited to current information and records pertaining to contemporaneous police activity. County of Los Angeles v. Superior Court (Kusar) (1993) 18 Cal.App.4th 588, 601; 89 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 204 (2006). The Sheriff's Office defines contemporaneous as 30 days prior to the date of the request. A search of our files revealed NO responsive records pertaining to Herschel "Guy" Beahm within the 30 days prior to your request.

In response to your request for any and all records of communications, including emails, letters, and memos, between the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, and your request for any and all records of communications, including emails, letters, and memos, between Twitch Interactive, Inc. and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office conducted a focused search using Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm as a key term(s) and found no records responsive to your request. The San Diego County Sheriff's Office only maintains emails sent to or from a Sheriff's Office email account. The San Diego County Sheriff's Office maintains a 365-day retention on emails.

The search for responsive emails did not include communications to or from the Legal Affairs Unit as attorney-client privilege and attorney-work product emails are exempt pursuant to GC 7927.705.

Your request is now closed.

Sincerely,

Erica Duarte, Administrative Analyst

San Diego County Sheriff's Office
