According to the police report, Adachi was in the company of a woman identified only as "Caterina," who explained that Adachi wanted to use the apartment where police found syringes, empty bottles of alcohol, and cannabis "Gummies."
Carmody told Matthew Keys of the California Globe that as he gathered information, an unnamed individual provided him with a 16-page police dossier with photographs and investigator's reports.
California law protects reporters from disclosure in police investigations and Carmody declined to reveal his source.
His lawyer described the raid as "Confiscation of a newsroom." Carmody denied police charges that he bribed someone to gain the report.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said the reporter "Crossed the line," motivated by profit or animosity toward Adachi.
The material "Obviously tarnished the image of Adachi, who had been something of a heroic figure to those in the city's left-leaning political culture." The police "Felt justified in conducting a paramilitary raid on Carmody's home-the kind usually associated with gun-toting suspects."
UC Davis English professor Joshua Clover was on record that, "It's easier to shoot cops when their backs are turned, no?" and "People think that cops need to be reformed. They need to be killed." The professor, a communist according to his publisher, did not change his mind after Davis police officer Natalie Corona, 22, was gunned down in January.
