Complaint alleges San Mateo County Sheriff snooping on attorney-inmate emails, messages
REDWOOD CITY — A group of Peninsula defense lawyers has sued San Mateo County in federal court on allegations that a recently installed jail email system is exposing privileged attorney-client communications of inmates to correctional staff.
Ara Jabagchourian, who is one of three law firms representing the plaintiffs, said the sheriff’s office has failed to implement an available feature to screen out the private communications. In response to inquiries about the lawsuit, sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Eamon Allen said in a statement that the county has yet to be served with the federal complaint, but called the publicized allegations “false” and that the messaging system is not intended for legal correspondence.
That stance reportedly does not conform with what the plaintiff attorneys have observed, with Jabagchourian saying in response: “Thank God we have courts so we don’t have to take what the county gives us as the final word.”
