Charges dropped against Santa Barbara Anti-ICE activist - District Attorney afraid of defendant's discovery powers - Corruption by US Attorney's Office

When charges were dropped against a SB activist who slashed ICE tires, ask yourself why: "Local legal experts have also speculated that the government dropped Randmaa’s charges over worries about what the case could reveal. As part of his defense, Randmaa would have been entitled to discovery evidence around his arrest, including body camera footage or other documentation of the ICE agents’ activities that day. Agents had been spotted in Ventura and Carpinteria earlier in the morning."
