How have the courts treated allegations of bad faith in the disclosure of police tapes?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gurule, B280034 (Cal. App. 2018):
Defendant asserts bad faith in that the tapes were retained for 17 years but then "inexplicably vanished" after officers began to reinvestigate the cold case. Because defendant did not show apparent exculpatory value, he cannot establish bad faith. (People v. Montes, supra, 58 Cal.4th at p. 838.)
