Hawaii Police Commission ‘ Regular Session Minutes November 16, 2012 Page 4 conjunction with the two events on the two separate days. The police refused to investigate his claims, and it infringed on his rights to a fair trial because they are supposed to gather evidence. Chair Ono told Mr. Trumpy that the complaint before them is solely to do with the incident at his home on December 25, not anything that happened after that. His complaint is about the fire department illegally video recording him at his house, and that the police failed to do anything about it. Mr. Trumpy stated that it was okay to focus on the illegal video recording. He asked if they wanted to see the HRS that details what constituted a violation of privacy. Chair Ono stated that they have the HRS. Mr. Trumpy stated that he is trying to show pervasive prejudice against him that has denied him the right to a fair trial and equal protection under the law. Commissioner Horner told Mr. Trumpy that if they decide there was misconduct, they would pursue it through the police department with an investigation.
