In a recent government meeting, a resident raised serious allegations against local law enforcement, specifically targeting officers Noah Martinez and Christopher Kivett. The individual expressed frustration over what they described as a failure to address criminal activities, including the alleged theft of their music royalties by online platforms.
The resident detailed their experience, stating that officer Noah Martinez was involved in a felony case that led to his arrest, prosecution, conviction, and subsequent termination. They also accused officer Christopher Kivett of neglecting a reported crime involving the unauthorized sale of their music CDs through CD Baby and Amazon, which they claim has been ongoing for over 15 years.
The individual recounted their attempts to seek justice, including contacting the LA County sheriff's office and filing a report with the Upland Police Department. They claimed to have provided direct evidence of the alleged crimes but expressed disappointment that no action was taken against officer Kivett, whom they want prosecuted for deprivation of rights under color of law.
This testimony highlights ongoing concerns regarding accountability within local law enforcement and raises questions about the handling of reported crimes in the community. The meeting underscored the need for transparency and responsiveness from police departments in addressing citizen grievances.
