DYLAN TRUMPY, along with his mother, and brother Andrew Trumpy, came before the commission. Chair Ono told Mr. Trumpy that they read his complaint and are familiar with it, and he doesn’t need to go through it entirely. Mr. Trumpy stated that this is about police prejudice that has deprived him of his rights to equal protection under the law. He passed out photographs of injuries he said he sustained. He was attacked by three individuals. In a previous police commission complaint, Captain Miyamoto stated that he had no injuries that would support his allegations that he was assaulted. The photographs are obvious that someone gave him a black eye. That’s one aspect of his complaint. The other aspect of his complaint is that there were two videos made of him on his property. The videos are a violation of privacy, HRS 711-111. He complained to the police about it multiple times but no investigation was undertaken. He filed a police report on February 15, and that police report was not investigated. His brother was his witness, and he was not interviewed. He filed the complaint on February 15 when the events took placed on December 25 and 27 because he was denied filing a police report by Detective Sharlotte Bird. Detective Bird made a statement that his injuries were not consisted with being assaulted. He alleged that he was attacked by three individuals, but she only did an assault case against one of the individuals that attacked him. She willfully misrepresented his statement in a police report, basically filing a false police report to cover-up the wrongdoing of the men who assaulted him. Commissioner Horner told Mr. Trumpy that his allegation on this complaint was that the firefighters illegally video recorded him, and the responding officers did not arrest the firefighters. He asked what the assault he spoke about had to do with this complaint. Mr. Trumpy stated that the assault was a product of what happened at his house on th the 25.
