The decision by the California Court of Appeal for the Fourth District came after a journalist sought access to videos created by Chula Vista Police Department's "Drones as First Responders" (DFR) program.
EFF, along with the First Amendment Coalition and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of Castañares, arguing that categorically excluding all drone footage from public disclosure could have troubling consequences on the public's ability to understand and oversee the police drone program.
