Alameda County sheriff's deputies detain the Loggervale family at Castro Valley Starbucks in Sept. 20, 2019.Alameda County offered a Black family who was handcuffed in the back of a sheriff's patrol car for more than an hour at a Castro Valley Starbucks $700,000 to settle a suit alleging that their constitutional rights had been violated.
The jury found that the Loggervales were falsely imprisoned and their privacy had been violated. They also felt that the Loggervales' 1st, 4th and 14th Amendments were stripped from them when sheriff's deputies detained them without articulating what crime they thought they had committed.

Still, deputies Steven Holland and Monica Pope thought the women seemed suspicious and demanded the elder Loggervale give them some ID, which she declined. Martinez testified that he trained deputies that it's unlawful to detain people simply for being the same ethnicity or age as a possible suspect.
Capt. Daniel Brodie, who investigated the Loggervale case for the IA department at the time, testified that he made his decision based on reading the deputies' incident reports and reviewing the body camera. Brodie acknowledged that he didn't pull any independent crime reports to determine if the suspect descriptions of those who had been breaking into cars in that parking lot because he assumed the truth of what the deputies wrote in their reports.
