Recently, in the LA Times:
"For years, law enforcement agencies across California have been trained to quickly question family members after a police killing in order to collect information that, among other things, is used to protect the involved officers and their department, an investigation by the Los Angeles Times and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism has found."

The Times and the Investigative Reporting Program documented 20 instances of the practice by 15 law enforcement agencies across the state since 2008. Attorneys specializing in police misconduct lawsuits say those cases are just a fraction of what they describe as a routine practice.
'I have seen this over and over and over again,' said Dale Galipo, a Los Angeles attorney who has filed hundreds of police-shooting lawsuits."
— "After police killings, families are kept in the dark and grilled for information," Brian Howey, Los Angeles Times, March 28, 2023.
The paywall may have been dropped. Try it.
