Subject:Informal Discovery / Public Records Request – Citation M275185 – Case 22T-17509
San Luis Obispo City Clerk / SLOPD Records:
I am the defendant in People v. Stacy Lee Spurgeon, San Luis Obispo County Superior Court case 22T-17509,
arising from San Luis Obispo Police Department citation M275185, issued August 10, 2022.
Please route the discovery portion of this request to SLOPD Records. This request is intended as an informal
discovery request concerning my pending traffic-infraction case and, where applicable, as a request under the
California Public Records Act.
Please provide all records and evidence in SLOPD's possession relating to citation M275185 and the
underlying traffic stop, including, to the extent they exist:
• The complete citation, including the reverse side, attachments, amendments, and related records.
• All handwritten, typed, electronic, or otherwise recorded notes made by the citing officer or other personnel
concerning the stop or citation.
• Any reports, supplemental reports, memoranda, photographs, diagrams, maps, measurements, or other
documentary evidence.
• CAD/dispatch records, call logs, radio traffic, and other communications relating to the stop.
• Body-worn-camera recordings, in-car/dash-camera video or audio, and any other audiovisual recordings,
together with available metadata.
• Any records identifying the method used to determine vehicle speed, including radar, lidar, pacing, visual
estimation, or another method.
• If radar or lidar was used: device make/model and serial number, applicable calibration/testing records,
tuning-fork records if applicable, operator logs, and the citing officer's applicable training/certification records.
• If pacing was used: the patrol vehicle identification and any speedometer calibration or accuracy records
applicable on August 10, 2022.
• Any engineering and traffic survey, speed survey, roadway study, or other speed-limit documentation in
SLOPD's possession applicable to the cited location and date. If another City department maintains those
records, please identify that department.
• Any other evidence or material SLOPD may rely upon, or provide to the prosecution, if this citation proceeds
to trial.
The citation appears to identify the citing officer as Steve Orozco-Maldonado, serial 84906. Please also
confirm, to the extent publicly releasable, whether Officer Orozco-Maldonado is currently employed by the San
Luis Obispo Police Department and whether he remains assigned to SLOPD. If he is no longer employed by or
assigned to SLOPD, please provide any publicly releasable record showing the date of separation or transfer.
If any responsive material once existed but is no longer retained, please identify the category of record, the
applicable retention/destruction policy, and, if maintained, any record showing when it was deleted or
destroyed.
Because the court docket currently reflects this case as open, please preserve all remaining responsive
records and audiovisual evidence relating to citation M275185 and case 22T-17509 while the matter remains
pending.

Electronic production is preferred where available. If any portion of this request is denied, withheld, or
redacted, please identify the legal basis for doing so. If SLOPD requires a separate form, identification, mailed
request, or fee for any portion of this request, please advise me and I will comply.
Thank you,
Stacy Lee Spurgeon
