p0695 REVIEW GRANTED The requirement of a Pitchess hearing before compelling discovery of information in a police officer's personnel file, does not apply to identical information derived from other sources, such as testimony from a percipient witness to events, or documents not maintained in the personnel file; however, in response to a demand under the California Public Records Act, the Civil Service Commission may withhold records in a particular case if the public interest served by not disclosing them clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure.CitationCOPLEY PRESS v SUPERIOR COURT (Closed Disciplinary Hearing) 122 CA4 489 [See: PenC 832.7, 832.8; GovC 6254(k); NBC Subsidiary v Superior Court 20 C4 1178, T/AT 9/99; Police Officers v City of SD 104 CA4 275, P/AT 1/03]
