#Report highlights
#Develop your own probable cause
752 records tell operators to “develop own PC” or carry similar “own PC” wording. Many read like bulletins for other agencies’ cases: identify a vehicle, find a reason to stop it, and send the ID to a named sergeant or outside department.
#Low-level offenses
740 records cite low-level reasons. These include traffic infractions (490), driving on a suspended license under Vehicle Code 14601 (73), trespass (69), curfew, loitering, and vagrancy (60), and illegal dumping or littering (51).
#Searches for a “we the people” sticker
Between 5:39 and 5:51 p.m. Pacific time on July 8, 2026, Ronnie.Galindo@countyofnapa.org ran three freeform searches for one truck. A freeform search describes a vehicle in words instead of a plate number. Each search asked for a blue GMC pickup with a black “we the people” sticker on the tailgate and a San Francisco 49ers sticker on the rear window. All three gave the reason “Larceny/Theft Offenses - 488 TSC”. Penal Code 488 covers petty theft. Two searches looked back 30 days and one looked back eight days. Each covered five or six networks.
#Anomalies
#Test records
132 records give a reason containing “test”, such as “test”, “napa test”, and “test napa”. 63 of them are from 2023. One account, Ronnie.Galindo@countyofnapa.org, entered 77 of the 132.
#Duplicate rows
143 rows exactly match another row, including the record ID. They come from two files: January 2023 and February 2025. The record count above includes them.
