The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is flooding courts with a motion for private police data

Jeff Potts, the executive director of the Minnesota Chief of Police Association, said Moriarty’s positioning stands in contrast with other counties in the state and how law enforcement worked with Hennepin County in the past.

“I would say that it’s probably indicative of the relationship that she is creating with the police chiefs,” Potts said. “Most other county attorneys are doing this in a way that is probably equally effective. However, their style is more cooperative and collaborative. This county attorney has chosen to use court orders to obtain information.”
