ACLU Accuses HPD Officer Of Bias In Favor Of Business Partner - Honolulu Civil Beat
The ACLU wants HPD to develop a policy prohibiting conflicts of interest in policing. Reading time: 5 minutes.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii is accusing a Honolulu police officer of a conflict of interest after he responded to an incident involving his business partner in 2019. The ACLU says the officer acted in his friend’s favor.
In a letter sent to HPD on Wednesday, the ACLU says its client Robin Hall was assaulted by her boss in June 2019 and that an HPD officer who responded failed to arrest him because the officer is a friend and business partner of the alleged suspect.
