Search warrant served on Santa Clara Sheriff, over gun permits
Story here.
"Prosecutors in Santa Clara County have served at least three search warrants while investigating whether Sheriff Laurie Smith's office gave out coveted concealed-gun permits in exchange for campaign money, sources familiar with the investigation told The Chronicle.
The Santa Clara County district attorney's office raided the sheriff's San Jose headquarters Aug. 2, seizing evidence through a search warrant that remains sealed. About a week before that, sources said, prosecutors served search warrants on two of the sheriff's higher-ranking supervisors.
Among those who have been contacted by investigators is AS Solution, a security company whose bodyguards protect Silicon Valley tech executives. Public records show one of the company's managers gave a large contribution last year to an independent expenditure committee supporting Smith's re-election."

Business as usual, at every level of government. Pay for play.
I thought that was standard procedure in the leftist counties in California. CCWs in exchange for political support and money, and favors to the well connected in the ruling class.
