Henry wrote in to ask us why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry Lie: \u003c/strong>It seemed like in other states, other regions, they were located in like state capitals or like much larger cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price \u003c/strong>Why aren’t more of these courts in Sacramento or Los Angeles? On this one, I decided to slide into the DMs of Molly Lacob. She’s the deputy general counsel of operations here at KQED. She’s a former litigator and is a little bit of a legal nerd. Welcome, Molly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Hi, Olivia. I guess I am a legal nerd. And when prepping for this, I realized I think I’ve appeared in every superior court in the Bay Area. We used to do that in person before we had all this technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Not in handcuffs, I assume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob : \u003c/strong>(laughs) No, I was a willing participant. I walked in and out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Okay. Good. So I got to be honest, you know, this was a question that was not on my radar at all. So first up, is it unusual to have this many courts in one place?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob :\u003c/strong>Generally speaking, yeah, it is pretty unusual. And a lot of that boils down to the history of the state of California and the city of San Francisco, as well as the development of the West Coast in general. And then another fun fact is that we are the only city and county in the state California. So every other county in California is made up of multiple cities. It’s just us in San Francisco County. You’ll see that on our seal, on all of our paperwork. It’s the city and county of San Francisco. So by default, all county courts and really any other county agency and building are going to be located in the city of San Fransisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Give us, so maybe step back a teeny bit, because I think some listeners — ahem, myself — might need a little bit of like a civics refresher …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob:\u003c/strong> What the heck is a district court about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Like Schoolhouse Rock,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Yes. Like Schoolhouse Rock. What is happening here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Okay, so we have a state court system and we have federal court system. And then within both of those, we have civil disputes and we criminal disputes. Easiest way to think about it is, do you want money or do you jail time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if I want to sue you, it is most likely going to be a state action. It’s rare to have a federal civil action against somebody, it’s certainly possible. And those are mostly business disputes though. It’s rare to have, you know, Molly dislikes Olivia, she’s filing a lawsuit. So I say, I want to file a lawsuit against you. And then I think about it. And I think, okay, well, where did you do the thing that I’m so mad about? Or where do you live? And that’s typically where we decide to venue a court case. And then for criminal cases, it’s really just, where did you do the really bad thing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s kind of like the high level, how we work our way through the court system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District courts are the lowest level of federal courts. And then there’s an appeals court, which is the Ninth Circuit, and then the U.S. Supreme Court. Similarly, on the state side, there are also three different levels of courts. The lowest court level is the superior court for the county, in this case, San Francisco, which again, San Fransisco is a city and a county. Uh, and then we have the first appellate district for the state of California here in San Francisco. There are six appellant districts in California. And then the state Supreme Court. And as Henry mentioned, all of those courts are really within a couple blocks of each other. If we really, really wanted to see this lawsuit through of Molly doesn’t like Olivia, we could hear the entire thing over several years though, on foot. We could walk to each courthouse and never have to leave downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Do you always have to start at the bottom as a lawyer? Like, do you have to file with a small court first? And do they even bother hearing? Are they ever like, “No this goes up the chain. This is above my pay grade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah. No, that’s a really, really good question. You have to start at the bottom and then you can appeal to what, you know, mid-level, if you will. It’s either the first district for California or the Ninth Circuit and then appeal up to the State Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ll have to have a little more than just, ‘I don’t like it’. You will have to reason as to why the outcome was wrong. And also, they can decline to hear your appeal. So the lower level courts, the superior court. Or the Northern District, they can’t decline to take your case. As a defendant, you can move to have the case thrown out, or you can have it moved to have it summarily settled with various motions, but they have to take it. The appellate courts do not. Most cases get rejected. So like I mentioned with the US Supreme Court, there’s 8,000 petitions. They take 80.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>And the ones that they’re rejecting, they’re like, okay, lower courts, ruling stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah, so at whatever level you get rejected, be it at the appellate level or at the Supreme Court level, if it doesn’t get picked up, the lower court’s ruling stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>All right, Schoolhouse Rock is over. That was fun, right? When we come back, it’s on to Henry’s question. How did so many of these courts end up in San Francisco? Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sponsorship Break\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>So we’ve covered that we have a lot of courts here in San Francisco, more than nearly any other city. Henry, our question asker, wanted to know how they all landed here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>So when California became state, which was in 1850, and we are the 31st state in the country, Congress decided that we needed to have two district courts. A lot of states actually only have one district court, but Congress realized that California was a pretty large state. So they divided it into the Northern District of California and the Southern District of California. And so, in 1850… The Northern District established San Francisco as its hub. And that’s because in 1850, it truly was the hub. It was the political hub of the state, it was the population hub, it was an economic hub. That’s why we have a massive port. Maritime law was a really big deal. And so we were seeing maritime disputes back then. And Sacramento wasn’t the state capital at that point. And the state capitol moved around back and forth, as did the state Supreme Court, because there was a little bit of a power struggle between all the cities in Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>The state capital moved a lot when California was a baby state. Monterrey, it was in San Jose, it was in Vallejo, it was in Benicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Rumor has it that the state legislature was tired of the Supreme Court moving around. It had gone down to LA. It would be in San Jose. They would hear cases in Sacramento. They would hear case in San Francisco. And so they ordered the state Supreme Court to move to come to the Capitol. And the justices said, ‘No, we don’t want to.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>The Bay Area is nice. Sacramento’s hot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Um, literally though, that is actually the rumor is that the climate played into their decision. I don’t know if you have spent a summer in the Sacramento Valley. I actually grew up there. It’s hot and they didn’t want to do it. And so they didn t show up. And so the state finally said, OK, I guess you reside in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>I mean, if you think about the wardrobe you have to wear in court, it kind of checks out. You don’t want to be in formal attire in multiple layers on a 90-degree day in a place that’s not air conditioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I do not recommend Sacramento in the summer with no air conditioning. Zero out of five stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price \u003c/strong>Okay, so it’s weird that the state Supreme Court is here, but what about the Ninth Circuit Court? That’s the federal court. That’s just one step below the Supreme Court. How big is the Nineth Circuit Court, and why is it in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>The Ninth circuit is huge. It encompasses Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Geographically, that is massive. And then from a population perspective, it’s just under 20% of the United States. Almost 60 million people reside within the Ninth Circuit. So a big proportion of litigation in the U.S. Is also coming through the Ninth Circuit. It’s in San Francisco because all of those states and territories I just rattled off, most of them didn’t exist when the Nineth Circuit was founded. Some were admitted almost a hundred years after California was to the United States. So San Francisco was the obvious economic hub at the time. But also from a legal perspective, the other states and territories didn’t exist as U.S. States and territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>So it sounds like the State Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit are kind of the two more unusual courts to have here. Are there any others that are surprising to find in San Francisco in 2026?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>I don’t think anything else is particularly unusual in regard to location. Having the Northern District seat here also makes a lot of sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price \u003c/strong>The Northern District being that first level of federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah, We do see a lot of really interesting activity through the Northern District, and that’s because of our local tech industry. So all of the major lawsuits between the big tech companies, Apple versus Samsung, Oracle versus Google, Waymo versus Uber, all of those cases are being heard in the Northern district. So we do get some really interesting ones, but it makes sense. A district court is supposed to hear the litigation from their region, and what do we have in our region?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Big, juicy tech disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Yeah. And I imagine, I mean, this is kind of a juicy place to be following legal matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Oh yeah, I think we’re gonna see a lot of AI litigation that’s gonna be venued here because if you are upset with what’s happening with OpenAI or Gemini, the bulk of them are located here. We’ve got a bunch of them located literally around the corner from our office where we’re recording this. And so to the extent that that evolves or devolves rather to litigation. We’re going to see it coming through the San Francisco courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Molly Lacob is the deputy general counsel of operations at KQED. Thank you, Molly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Oh, thank you for letting me nerd out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>We just announced the date for our next night of Bay Curious Trivia.

Upon further investigation, he realized we had all levels of court on the state side, and all except the U.S. Supreme Court on the federal side. Wowsa! How did so many end up here?

(laughing)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Henry’s getting a master’s degree in urban planning, and what became apparent as we spoke is he sees the city in a way that most people might not. He just notices things. And not too long ago, he was making his way through San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry Lie: \u003c/strong>I was driving on Van Ness one day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Right near City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry Lie: \u003c/strong>I, like, saw the Superior Court of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>And a few blocks away, the U.S. District Court for Northern California. Not far from that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry Lie: \u003c/strong>The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>And finally…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry Lie: \u003c/strong>The California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>He discovered practically all levels of court on both the state and federal sides are found right here in San Francisco. Henry wrote in to ask us why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Henry Lie: \u003c/strong>It seemed like in other states, other regions, they were located in like state capitals or like much larger cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price \u003c/strong>Why aren’t more of these courts in Sacramento or Los Angeles? On this one, I decided to slide into the DMs of Molly Lacob. She’s the deputy general counsel of operations here at KQED. She’s a former litigator and is a little bit of a legal nerd. Welcome, Molly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Hi, Olivia. I guess I am a legal nerd. And when prepping for this, I realized I think I’ve appeared in every superior court in the Bay Area. We used to do that in person before we had all this technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Not in handcuffs, I assume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob : \u003c/strong>(laughs) No, I was a willing participant. I walked in and out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Okay. Good. So I got to be honest, you know, this was a question that was not on my radar at all. So first up, is it unusual to have this many courts in one place?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob :\u003c/strong>Generally speaking, yeah, it is pretty unusual. And a lot of that boils down to the history of the state of California and the city of San Francisco, as well as the development of the West Coast in general. And then another fun fact is that we are the only city and county in the state California. So every other county in California is made up of multiple cities. It’s just us in San Francisco County. You’ll see that on our seal, on all of our paperwork. It’s the city and county of San Francisco. So by default, all county courts and really any other county agency and building are going to be located in the city of San Fransisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Give us, so maybe step back a teeny bit, because I think some listeners — ahem, myself — might need a little bit of like a civics refresher …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob:\u003c/strong> What the heck is a district court about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Like Schoolhouse Rock,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Yes. Like Schoolhouse Rock. What is happening here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Okay, so we have a state court system and we have federal court system. And then within both of those, we have civil disputes and we criminal disputes. Easiest way to think about it is, do you want money or do you jail time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if I want to sue you, it is most likely going to be a state action. It’s rare to have a federal civil action against somebody, it’s certainly possible. And those are mostly business disputes though. It’s rare to have, you know, Molly dislikes Olivia, she’s filing a lawsuit. So I say, I want to file a lawsuit against you. And then I think about it. And I think, okay, well, where did you do the thing that I’m so mad about? Or where do you live? And that’s typically where we decide to venue a court case. And then for criminal cases, it’s really just, where did you do the really bad thing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s kind of like the high level, how we work our way through the court system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District courts are the lowest level of federal courts. And then there’s an appeals court, which is the Ninth Circuit, and then the U.S. Supreme Court. Similarly, on the state side, there are also three different levels of courts. The lowest court level is the superior court for the county, in this case, San Francisco, which again, San Fransisco is a city and a county. Uh, and then we have the first appellate district for the state of California here in San Francisco. There are six appellant districts in California. And then the state Supreme Court. And as Henry mentioned, all of those courts are really within a couple blocks of each other. If we really, really wanted to see this lawsuit through of Molly doesn’t like Olivia, we could hear the entire thing over several years though, on foot. We could walk to each courthouse and never have to leave downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Do you always have to start at the bottom as a lawyer? Like, do you have to file with a small court first? And do they even bother hearing? Are they ever like, “No this goes up the chain. This is above my pay grade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah. No, that’s a really, really good question. You have to start at the bottom and then you can appeal to what, you know, mid-level, if you will. It’s either the first district for California or the Ninth Circuit and then appeal up to the State Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ll have to have a little more than just, ‘I don’t like it’. You will have to reason as to why the outcome was wrong. And also, they can decline to hear your appeal. So the lower level courts, the superior court. Or the Northern District, they can’t decline to take your case. As a defendant, you can move to have the case thrown out, or you can have it moved to have it summarily settled with various motions, but they have to take it. The appellate courts do not. Most cases get rejected. So like I mentioned with the US Supreme Court, there’s 8,000 petitions. They take 80.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>And the ones that they’re rejecting, they’re like, okay, lower courts, ruling stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah, so at whatever level you get rejected, be it at the appellate level or at the Supreme Court level, if it doesn’t get picked up, the lower court’s ruling stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>All right, Schoolhouse Rock is over. That was fun, right? When we come back, it’s on to Henry’s question. How did so many of these courts end up in San Francisco? Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sponsorship Break\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>So we’ve covered that we have a lot of courts here in San Francisco, more than nearly any other city.

I don’t know if you have spent a summer in the Sacramento Valley. I actually grew up there. It’s hot and they didn’t want to do it. And so they didn t show up. And so the state finally said, OK, I guess you reside in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>I mean, if you think about the wardrobe you have to wear in court, it kind of checks out. You don’t want to be in formal attire in multiple layers on a 90-degree day in a place that’s not air conditioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I do not recommend Sacramento in the summer with no air conditioning. Zero out of five stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price \u003c/strong>Okay, so it’s weird that the state Supreme Court is here, but what about the Ninth Circuit Court? That’s the federal court. That’s just one step below the Supreme Court. How big is the Nineth Circuit Court, and why is it in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>The Ninth circuit is huge. It encompasses Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Geographically, that is massive. And then from a population perspective, it’s just under 20% of the United States. Almost 60 million people reside within the Ninth Circuit. So a big proportion of litigation in the U.S. Is also coming through the Ninth Circuit. It’s in San Francisco because all of those states and territories I just rattled off, most of them didn’t exist when the Nineth Circuit was founded. Some were admitted almost a hundred years after California was to the United States. So San Francisco was the obvious economic hub at the time. But also from a legal perspective, the other states and territories didn’t exist as U.S. States and territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>So it sounds like the State Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit are kind of the two more unusual courts to have here. Are there any others that are surprising to find in San Francisco in 2026?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>I don’t think anything else is particularly unusual in regard to location. Having the Northern District seat here also makes a lot of sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price \u003c/strong>The Northern District being that first level of federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Yeah, We do see a lot of really interesting activity through the Northern District, and that’s because of our local tech industry. So all of the major lawsuits between the big tech companies, Apple versus Samsung, Oracle versus Google, Waymo versus Uber, all of those cases are being heard in the Northern district. So we do get some really interesting ones, but it makes sense. A district court is supposed to hear the litigation from their region, and what do we have in our region?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/strong> Tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Big, juicy tech disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Yeah. And I imagine, I mean, this is kind of a juicy place to be following legal matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Oh yeah, I think we’re gonna see a lot of AI litigation that’s gonna be venued here because if you are upset with what’s happening with OpenAI or Gemini, the bulk of them are located here. We’ve got a bunch of them located literally around the corner from our office where we’re recording this. And so to the extent that that evolves or devolves rather to litigation. We’re going to see it coming through the San Francisco courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>Molly Lacob is the deputy general counsel of operations at KQED. Thank you, Molly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Molly Lacob: \u003c/strong>Oh, thank you for letting me nerd out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/strong>We just announced the date for our next night of Bay Curious Trivia.

James Taylor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A police official confirmed to KQED that the two bites were delivered by different dogs, and noted the incident from February is distinct from an earlier incident that occurred nearly a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont Police Capt. Matthew Snelson said the police investigation into February’s shooting will include a use-of-force review, looking into the dog’s behavior, how it was deployed and the circumstances leading up to the bite, as well as a training review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When circumstances like this occur that are unintended or aren’t perfect, we absolutely review them after the fact, and try to identify were there better things we could have done, best practices in those circumstances, and then we make sure that those are layered right back into our training,” Snelson said in an interview on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Feb. 14, Taylor was in charge of an operation aimed at arresting suspects police said were responsible for “multiple residential burglaries and other crimes” both in Fremont and other Bay Area cities.[aside postID=news_12074152 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/RS6915_147071231-1180x885.jpg']Snelson said after a short driving pursuit, police deployed spike strips to disable the suspect’s vehicle, and four occupants fled on foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All four occupants fled the vehicle in different directions. And so multiple officers were chasing multiple suspects in different directions, and one of the suspects was pursued on foot by Sgt. Taylor, as well as one of our police canines,” Snelson said. “And that’s where Sgt. Taylor was bitten, and the unintentional firing of his firearm occurred.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snelson declined to speak about the specifics of the recent bite as it is still under investigation, but said police dogs have minds of their own, and during “dynamic police operations,” can sometimes go after the wrong target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the pursuit of suspects, there can be other people that come in close proximity to the attempted apprehension of the suspect. That can result in the dog misidentifying or unintentionally biting the person we did not intend to bite,” Snelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said in a press release on Feb. 19 that the shot Taylor fired hit one of the suspects, a 25-year-old from Redwood City. He was hospitalized for his injury, but Snelson said he has since been discharged and was turned over to another police agency for alleged crimes in that jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor, a 17-year veteran of the department, was treated for injuries from the dog bite at a trauma center and was released the same night. He is currently on paid administrative leave, which is standard practice after a shooting while an investigation occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police have not yet released details about which police dog bit Taylor in the more recent incident, but Snelson confirmed that it was another officer’s dog, and that Taylor doesn’t currently handle a police canine of his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, when Taylor was an officer in the K-9 unit, he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/03/15/fremont-officer-cleared-in-fatal-shooting-of-man-who-pummeled-him/\">bitten by his own police dog\u003c/a> while fighting with a man suspected of battery. After being punched by the man multiple times, he released his police dog, Cairo, from the car via a button on his person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead of Cairo biting the man, the dog jumped up and bit Taylor, he told investigators. While distracted by the dog, the suspect landed another blow, and Taylor feared he’d be knocked unconscious if he was hit again. Taylor then pulled his gun and shot the man three times. After he fell to the ground, the dog then began biting his leg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another arriving officer provided medical care to the man, who was declared deceased by paramedics on the scene. The Alameda District Attorney’s Office cleared Taylor of any wrongdoing in a report later that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how many times a Fremont Police Department K-9 has bitten an officer on duty, but Snelson said it is “very rare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael S. Gould, a retired lieutenant and former commander of the Nassau County Police Department K-9 unit, agreed dogs biting officers generally happen only “on occasion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s no different than maybe spraying pepper spray and another officer gets sprayed by the overspray,” Gould said. “It shouldn’t happen frequently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gould said “accidents happen,” but it’s important for departments to closely document these incidents and review training if needed, if patterns emerge with a particular dog or a K-9 team as a whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they have a history of accidental bites, a history of accidentally discharging their weapon, of course, that has to be examined,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the investigation into the more recent biting incident is still in progress, Snelson said “there’s no indication that it’s an issue with Sgt. Taylor,” causing him to have been bitten twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think he’s been a very active officer and sergeant in his career, and he finds himself in active operations,” Snelson said. “And it was just an unfortunate set of circumstances that resulted in this unintentional discharge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor was also one of three officers who fatally fired on a man in 2019 after officials said the man ambushed an officer with gunfire late at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And so multiple officers were chasing multiple suspects in different directions, and one of the suspects was pursued on foot by Sgt. Taylor, as well as one of our police canines,” Snelson said. “And that’s where Sgt. Taylor was bitten, and the unintentional firing of his firearm occurred.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snelson declined to speak about the specifics of the recent bite as it is still under investigation, but said police dogs have minds of their own, and during “dynamic police operations,” can sometimes go after the wrong target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the pursuit of suspects, there can be other people that come in close proximity to the attempted apprehension of the suspect. That can result in the dog misidentifying or unintentionally biting the person we did not intend to bite,” Snelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said in a press release on Feb. 19 that the shot Taylor fired hit one of the suspects, a 25-year-old from Redwood City. He was hospitalized for his injury, but Snelson said he has since been discharged and was turned over to another police agency for alleged crimes in that jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor, a 17-year veteran of the department, was treated for injuries from the dog bite at a trauma center and was released the same night. He is currently on paid administrative leave, which is standard practice after a shooting while an investigation occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police have not yet released details about which police dog bit Taylor in the more recent incident, but Snelson confirmed that it was another officer’s dog, and that Taylor doesn’t currently handle a police canine of his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, when Taylor was an officer in the K-9 unit, he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/03/15/fremont-officer-cleared-in-fatal-shooting-of-man-who-pummeled-him/\">bitten by his own police dog\u003c/a> while fighting with a man suspected of battery. After being punched by the man multiple times, he released his police dog, Cairo, from the car via a button on his person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead of Cairo biting the man, the dog jumped up and bit Taylor, he told investigators. While distracted by the dog, the suspect landed another blow, and Taylor feared he’d be knocked unconscious if he was hit again. Taylor then pulled his gun and shot the man three times. After he fell to the ground, the dog then began biting his leg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another arriving officer provided medical care to the man, who was declared deceased by paramedics on the scene. The Alameda District Attorney’s Office cleared Taylor of any wrongdoing in a report later that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how many times a Fremont Police Department K-9 has bitten an officer on duty, but Snelson said it is “very rare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael S. Gould, a retired lieutenant and former commander of the Nassau County Police Department K-9 unit, agreed dogs biting officers generally happen only “on occasion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s no different than maybe spraying pepper spray and another officer gets sprayed by the overspray,” Gould said. “It shouldn’t happen frequently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gould said “accidents happen,” but it’s important for departments to closely document these incidents and review training if needed, if patterns emerge with a particular dog or a K-9 team as a whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they have a history of accidental bites, a history of accidentally discharging their weapon, of course, that has to be examined,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the investigation into the more recent biting incident is still in progress, Snelson said “there’s no indication that it’s an issue with Sgt. Taylor,” causing him to have been bitten twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think he’s been a very active officer and sergeant in his career, and he finds himself in active operations,” Snelson said. “And it was just an unfortunate set of circumstances that resulted in this unintentional discharge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor was also one of three officers who fatally fired on a man in 2019 after officials said the man ambushed an officer with gunfire late at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The California proposal, if enacted, would be retroactive to the spring of 2025 and potentially relevant to Retes’ lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As KQED has previously \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058936/masking-bill-fuels-california-legal-battle-over-federal-immigration-agents\">reported\u003c/a>, Retes said he tried to comply with immigration agents’ orders as he approached the farm in his vehicle last summer. But he said federal agents gave him contradictory commands before using tear gas, smashing his car window, pepper-spraying his face, pulling him out of the car and pinning him to the ground with their knees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12073780\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12073780\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/GETTYIMAGES-2224603707-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1351\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/GETTYIMAGES-2224603707-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/GETTYIMAGES-2224603707-KQED-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/GETTYIMAGES-2224603707-KQED-1536x1038.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Federal agents at an immigration raid on July 10, 2025, near Camarillo, California. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“George did not resist. Using his military training to stay calm, he voluntarily placed his arms behind his back to show compliance. Still, officers knelt on his back and neck, zip-tied his hands, and detained him for hours at the farm — without ever telling him what he was accused of,” the lawsuit states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in the lawsuit are photos that show Retes lying face down on the ground, surrounded by more than a dozen federal officers as his hands are tied behind his back. The suit goes on to detail his treatment at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, then the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, where he was held for three days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At no time, according to the lawsuit, did authorities obtain a warrant, probable cause, or offer any legitimate explanation for Retes’ treatment or detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was strip-searched, deprived of his belongings, and held incommunicado for three days and three nights. He was never brought before a judge and was never charged with any offense,” the suit states. “Over the three days [approximately 72 hours] he spent in custody, he was deprived of basic rights that even suspected criminals receive. He was not allowed a phone call, access to counsel, or a hearing. He was also subjected to inhumane treatment, not being allowed a shower to wash chemical irritants off his body.”[aside postID=news_12073633 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240408-FCIDublin-012-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg']The lawsuit relies on the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures and Fifth Amendment protections against deprivation of liberty and property. But it also cites California law, including the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act, which allows a person to sue another person for interfering with their rights by threat, intimidation or coercion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear whether the courts will allow a claim like Retes’ to move forward under that state law, said Harrison Stark, senior counsel at the University of Wisconsin Law School’s State Democracy Research Initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stark said there is a long history in the U.S. of states asserting their power to protect residents from federal constitutional overreach, dating back to Northern states’ response to the Fugitive Slave Act before the Civil War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he added, a series of federal laws and court decisions in recent decades have limited the rights of Americans to sue federal officials for violations of civil rights that already occurred. By contrast, both the federal government and individuals have the right to sue states over past constitutional violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is unfortunately probably harder today than at any other point in the history of the nation to sue a federal official for money damages if they’ve violated your constitutional rights,” Stark said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stark said that’s why states like California are considering laws aimed at reclaiming those rights. But even without that law, he said, it’s still worth suing in Retes’ case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12055636\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12055636\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/USImmigrationCustomsEnforcementHQGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/USImmigrationCustomsEnforcementHQGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/USImmigrationCustomsEnforcementHQGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/09/USImmigrationCustomsEnforcementHQGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters on April 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C. \u003ccite>(Pete Kiehart/The Washington Post via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I think folks who are experiencing these constitutional violations are entirely reasonably pulling every lever they can to get redress,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retes’ suit names the United States of America, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Navy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Customs and Border Protection, as well as the individual unnamed officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It asks for damages against individual, unnamed federal officers and the U.S. government, as well as attorneys’ fees and a declaration that Retes’ rights under California tort law and the Constitution were violated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“George missed work, lost professional standing with his employer, and missed his daughter’s third birthday party.

The suit goes on to detail his treatment at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, then the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, where he was held for three days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At no time, according to the lawsuit, did authorities obtain a warrant, probable cause, or offer any legitimate explanation for Retes’ treatment or detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was strip-searched, deprived of his belongings, and held incommunicado for three days and three nights. He was never brought before a judge and was never charged with any offense,” the suit states. “Over the three days [approximately 72 hours] he spent in custody, he was deprived of basic rights that even suspected criminals receive. He was not allowed a phone call, access to counsel, or a hearing.
