Allows individuals filing complaints against law enforcement to remain private unless specified circumstances apply.
The "reporting of law enforcement officer misconduct privacy act" establishes that the identity of individuals filing misconduct complaints against law enforcement officers must remain confidential unless certain conditions are met. Disclosure is permitted if the complainant consents, a court orders it, or if criminal charges are filed. It also allows disclosure to defense parties, arbitration panels, administrative judges, designated investigators, and law enforcement officers for internal investigations. Violation of this act results in a state civil infraction with a fine of up to $500.
