“If such calls are identified in the future, we will notify the district attorney’s office as well as the Superior Court to determine the appropriate response,” she said.The Sheriff’s Department practice began in mid-December last year, when officials implemented a COVID-19 safety program. That procedure included the suspension of visits by family members and friends of county jail inmates.

“Unfortunately, we are not able to simply disable recording of these visits instantly or temporarily for professional visits,” she said. “The process takes time and must be done by Securas.”Sheriff’s officials did not say how many times jail staff or attorneys requested Securas to disable recording during visits under the COVID-19 protocols.

“This complaint was seconded by the other attorney who stated he was involved in another case where the same had happened to him and his client and where the District Attorney’s Office had a recording/transcript of their conversation,” the email added. A spokesperson for Dist. Atty. Summer Stephan said the office is aware that at least one conversation between a defense lawyer and a defendant had been improperly recorded.

Walker said to his knowledge the district attorney’s office had received no other recordings between defense lawyers and their clients. He declined to specify how the recording was sent to prosecutors. The public defender’s office is working with the sheriff, district attorney and the Superior Court’s presiding judge to determine the extent of the privileged recordings and whether any others were disseminated outside the Sheriff’s Department, Mize said.

wtf does recording privileged phone calls have to do with covid protocols?

Popehat I suppose they have one of those 'Constitutional' sheriffs?

To say shame on them is one thing. To hold them legally accountable is THE thing.

This is so bad. How many rights were violated?

Popehat Can someone please explain to me how recording privileged conversations would help slow the spread of COVID

Popehat Not inadvertent, then.

Popehat This sounds slightly illegal, but I mean what’s illegal these days anyways.

JoseyRider That’s gonna cost them! In loss of cases plus lawsuits. Do the residents of SD county really deserve to pay for this illegal behavior?

Popehat Not cool!

SD Sheriff's Dept...'Thanks'🤨 for being another shining example of why people do NOT trust law enforcement. - Yeah, the laws actually apply to those carrying a badge & gun...as do health & safety regs. Get vaxxed & honor your oath!

The confidential meetings between lawyers and criminal defendants were recorded between last December and May, and again between August and October, as the Sheriff’s Department implemented protocols aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 inside its jails
