I guess we need to rely on the AG office which is where it stands now. Here is an article on Sheriff Gore and Bonnie Dumanis which is not hopeful unfortunately in that regard. As the article states, this is very disturbing indeed.
"Gores Connections To Bonnie Dumanis Are Disturbing
While certainly not all San Diego judges are abusive, biased, corrupt, and incompetent, the ones who arent becomes targets for the diseased San Diego political machine. Some of them are under attack from law enforcement elements such as Bonnie Dumanis and her prosecutors that hide exculpatory evidence in violation of the law because they have dared to cite and oppose the illegal actions of the District Attorneys office.
Gore worked for Dumanis after he retired from the FBI and is likely to side with well-connected abusers like Dumanis over the citizens he is supposed to protect. Having a sheriff like Gore who clearly has no regard for citizens rights makes it all the more likely that courts using law enforcement as a tool to persecute their opponents and anybody else they dislike will be a recurring outcome of the corrupt San Diego courts. Citizens should not have to fear law enforcement violating their rights, yet Gore has done this himself with deadly effect and is aligned with others who do it for political purposes."
