California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tuggle, B285061 (Cal. App. 2018):
Trial courts are granted wide discretion when ruling on motions to discover police officer personnel records. (People v. Mooc (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1216.) When requested to do so by an appellant, an appellate court may independently review the transcript of the trial court's in camera Pitchess hearing to determine whether the trial court disclosed all relevant complaints. (Id. at p. 1229.)
