The judge has ordered the MCSO to turn over 1500 IDs.
Apparently these are IDs taken by deputies during traffic stops.
The judge ordered them to be turned over months ago but the MCSO never did and had scheduled them to be destroyed. My guess is someone in the MCSO alerted the court appointed monitor to the scheduled destruction and he contacted Judge Snow.
If that is what happened, it would appear the MCSO was planning on destroying evidence. Criminal contempt and obstruction of justice charges would in that case be almost mandatory.
