    In September 2021, Deputy Paulino responded to a well-being check for Miya Marcano, a 19-year-old reported missing. Despite evidence suggesting foul play, including a barricaded door and blood on a pillow, Paulino classified Marcano as a ‘voluntary missing person’ and did not escalate the case. This misclassification delayed the investigation. Paulino received a 150-hour unpaid suspension for his handling of the case. In September 2023, Marcano’s family filed a lawsuit against the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Paulino, alleging negligence and civil rights violations.

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
