Michael Chung – Oakland Police Department

In 2021, Sgt. Michael Chung was involved in a hit-and-run incident where he struck a parked car with his police cruiser in San Francisco and failed to report it. The following year, he discharged his firearm inside an elevator at police headquarters and attempted to cover it up by disposing of the shell casing over the Bay Bridge. These incidents led to his placement on paid administrative leave.

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.
