      INCIDENT DETAILS
      • Date of Arrest: 2026-01-28
        Deputies Involved: JTAC-1 with PD, Hugo Hernandez, Mason Ross, Tim Sutton, Jaxson Hayes, Gavin Sands, and a bunch others.

        Provide details of the incident leading up to the arrest
        • I arrived on scene of a code 1 at Bennys with people holding inside with heavies. At the moment there was a bunch of Bennies workers running around in there, and some of the shooters, where also called out on TAC for being bennies workers also. PD brought the insurgent inside and made way for the bennies employees to get out. and I was told to search every benny worker due to them possibly being together, and helping them inside.

          I first saw Synn Jinnal, and started to pat him down, and he had a bag on him. I searched the baq, and saw a AP pistol. I let TAC know about it, and they told me to arrest him. Synn did have a valid license for some guns, but AP pistol's are illegal, so I had to suspend his Weapons license due to the felony. He complied, and I got him in the back of my car. Due to the Code 1, he had to sit in the back for a while, and that being said I did not place the weapon mod charge due to that.

          I read his rights, and I took him to DOC, and he complied, and was processed.

          He is getting WF03 for having a illegal AP pistol on his person

      • I wasn't actually the scene supervisor, as Captain Hill was present and was there well before I was, however I actually do have bodycam of the scenario and have located the exact point of contention. I arrived from the pager and so Cole/Dean will have more context, but I believe I have the missing piece here;

        *Bodycam footage*

        Here, you can see Mr. Jinnal being searched and one of your deputies finding an AP pistol on his person. Dean and another party then explains that he was being detained for offering to assist the heavily-armed kidnappers by holding the door open for them. Obviously if he was offering to help them while they were in the commission of a patently illegal action, his detainment was perfectly legal and even expected and his arrest for toting an illegal firearm is to be expected.

        I will grant him this, though: his charges are not correct. If Dean and the other party (I know he's a deputy I just can't place the voice) witnessed him offer to help the kidnappers turned shooters, he should also be given accessory to attempted kidnapping and potentially accessory to attempted murder of a government employee, depending on when he was detained/arrested. At the very least his actions would have warranted obstruction of justice.

      Witness Statement
      • [I was there on the night of the benny's incident, and il try help in any way possible. So, during the initial push that involved 4 officers who were promptly gunned down. I ran up the ladder on the upper right side of the benny's garage door. I then laid down to take cover from the gunfire both from Law enforcements side and rooks. During my time laying down, approximately 5-10 minutes, i could hear both sides of the fight, as i was in the middle of it all. The benny's worker in question walked over to rooks, specifically Rizza Saint, he asked them ''Do you want me to stand by the door so it stays open for you'', Rizza responded with ''Yeah yeah''. The benny's worker then walked around to the entrance and stood on the left side of the door, dancing. The moment I heard this conversation i said over tac he's helping them, as I am the one who heard the initial conversation, I then proceeded to make it clear by repeating it a lot over tac during the entire fight, to make sure justice is served. After this my attention was taken off of the worker and onto the fight, as it was just a small obstacle in a really intense firefight. We then ended up winning the fight and i assume the worker was taken into custody for his crime. I do not have bodycam of the situation, just of a part that contributes nothing to this case, so I apologise. But I will say this, he was helping rooks, and he got what was coming to him. If there's anything else I can do to assist just let me know.

        ((Bodycam Proof of RP: https://i.ibb.co/x85bWdyd/image-2026-01 ... 645102.png ))
        Bodycam Footage: /do The bodycam worn by officer Brooks would show the mentioned bennys worker walking to the other side of the room, where rooks were located, and saying ''Do you want me to stand by the door so it stays open for you'', a response would be heard by a rook, ''Yeah yeah''. The mentioned benny's worker would then walk to the corner on the left side of the garage door and begin dancing. The bodycam would also include Cole Brooks mentioning it over TAC Radio multiple times during the gunfight.

    "YOUR CASE, OUR COMMITMENT"

    • The Defense respectfully moves this Court to suppress the AP pistol recovered from the person of Synn Jinnal on the day in question, on the grounds that the search conducted by Deputy Justin Adams was unconstitutional, and that the evidence recovered as a direct result of that search must therefore be excluded in its entirety. The Defense appreciates that law enforcement had a great deal on their plate that evening, but that has never been accepted as a substitute for the Constitution.

      Deputy Adams, by his own account in the Arrest Report, arrived at Benny's Motorworks in response to a Code 1 involving armed individuals. Mr. Jinnal was identified not as one of those armed subjects, but as a Benny's employee. Deputy Adams further acknowledges - again, in his own words - that he was ordered to search every Benny's worker due to them "possibly being together" with the armed individuals. It is on this basis, and this basis alone, that Mr. Jinnal's person and belongings were searched. The Defense trusts the Court will immediately recognise the problem with that.

      A lawful warrantless search demands, at minimum, individualized probable cause - that is, specific and articulable facts pertaining to the individual being searched that would lead a reasonable officer to conclude that person had committed, was committing, or was about to commit a crime. A blanket directive to search every employee present because they might be connected to an unfolding incident does not come close to satisfying that standard. Presence at the scene, without more, has never been sufficient - and the Defense would respectfully suggest that if it were, the deputies themselves would have had cause to search one another. Deputy Adams has offered no facts specific to Mr. Jinnal - no observed behaviour, no communication, no identified connection - that could have grounded individualized suspicion prior to the search being carried out. None. The arrest report is notable in this respect for what it does not contain.

      What makes this all the more troubling is the huge volume of investigative resources that were available to law enforcement on scene and yet are entirely absent from the State's evidence. CCTV footage from Benny's Motorworks would have captured the interior of the garage and any interactions between employees and the armed subjects - a rather obvious starting point, one might think. Dashcam footage from the numerous law enforcement vehicles staged outside could have captured relevant activity. Bodycam footage - beyond the partial submission from Sergeant Heines which shows basically nothing, for which the Defense is at least grateful, from the many deputies and officers present, including Hugo Hernandez, Mason Ross, Tim Sutton, Jaxson Hayes, and Gavin Sands, has not been produced despite what appears to have been half of the sheriff and police department on duty attending the scene. Perhaps most critically, the State's own account confirms that at least one insurgent was literally inside the premises. Is the state attempting to say that the insurgent had no useful dashcam footage to provide while inside the scene itself?

      The failure to pursue any of these readily available avenues before resorting to a broad, suspicion-less search of every employee nearby and present is not a minor procedural oversight one can simply wave away. It demonstrates that law enforcement did not possess - and made no meaningful attempt to develop, the individualized suspicion that probable cause requires. The Court should not reward that failure by admitting the evidence it produced. To do so would be to suggest that the threshold for a lawful search is simply showing up to work that day.

      It is worth pausing to consider what the State is actually asking this Court to accept. Mr. Jinnal was at his place of work. He held a valid weapons licence. His record does not paint the picture of a man who warranted immediate suspicion upon sight. And yet, the moment armed individuals entered the premises, the calculus apparently shifted - not because of anything Mr. Jinnal said, did, or was observed doing, but simply because he was there and, in the assessment of someone on TAC radio, he might be connected to them. The Defence would invite the Court to consider how that reasoning would hold up if applied consistently - whether every employee present that night was treated with the same urgency, or whether a young Black man at his place of work simply found himself patted down rather more readily than his colleagues might have. The Defence does not make that observation lightly, nor does it make it without cause. What it does note is that "possibly being together with them" is a remarkably thin justification to place your hands on somebody - and that historically, it has never been a coincidence which bodies that justification tends to find its way onto. The arrest report does not address this. The Defence submits that the Court should.

      Because the search of Mr. Jinnal was unconstitutional, the AP pistol recovered as a direct result of it is inadmissible as fruit of the poisonous tree. The charge of WF03 rests entirely upon that single piece of evidence. With the weapon suppressed, there is no remaining basis upon which the charge can stand, and the Defense will move for dismissal accordingly.

      The Defense urges the Court to grant this motion.

    "EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"

    • Judge Lopez,

      The Prosecution submits this response to the Defendant’s Motion to Suppress. At this time, we are only addressing the suppression, as the dismissal arguments exceed the proper scope of a suppression motion.

      The Defense attempts to frame this case as a blanket, unwarranted search of a Bennys employee based solely on their employment status. That framing of the situation is inaccurate and incomplete. At the time Deputy Adams detained and searched the Defendant, law enforcement was responding to an active firefight involving heavily armed individuals inside Benny’s Motorworks. Multiple suspects were actively using firearms inside the premises. The scene was dynamic, unsecured, and dangerous.

      Officers over TAC radio identified a Benny’s employee who had offered to assist the armed suspects by holding the garage door open during the confrontation. This was not speculation it was communicated across the radio during the firefight. Exhibit #2 clearly reflects that information being broadcast. Exhibit #3 further corroborates that an officer personally overheard a bennies worker offering assistance to the armed group and communicated that information to other officers. ((I would like to clarify in this section that due to the defendant claiming that the /do's in exhibit #3 are incorrect I am only referencing the statement made by officer brooks and not the footage.))

      Deputy Adams was entitled to rely upon information broadcast over TAC by fellow officers. The law does not require each officer to independently witness the conduct giving in order to justify a search. It requires only that the detaining officer reasonably rely upon information communicated by law enforcement personnel engaged in the same operation. Additionally, the circumstances presented safety concerns. Officers were dealing with; Active armed suspects inside the building, confirmed use of firearms, Employees moving within the structure and Reports that some “Benny’s workers” were among the shooters. In such an environment, temporary detention and protective searches of individuals reasonably believed to be associated with armed suspects was warranted. Officer safety during an active violent encounter is not a theoretical concern.

      The Defendant was not searched merely because he was employed at Benny’s. He was detained during an active shootout, there was radio communication indicating employee assistance to the armed suspects and the necessity of securing all potentially armed individuals within an unsecured scene. The discovery of an illegal AP pistol on his person was the lawful product of a search. Because the search was supported by probable cause and justified by safety concerns, suppression is unwarranted. The Prosecution respectfully requests that the motion to suppress submitted by the defense be denied.

      Respectfully,

      Rowin Lawson

    "YOUR CASE, OUR COMMITMENT"

    • The Defense thanks the prosecution for its response, though it must confess that it has raised more questions than it has answered. We respectfully request the last say as well - since we are the party that introduced this motion into question.

      The prosecution places considerable weight on Officer Brooks as a corroborating witness, so the Defense would invite the Court to read his statement a little more carefully than the prosecution apparently has. Officer Brooks admits, in his own words, that after reporting the worker over TAC, his attention was "taken off of the worker and onto the fight." He heard something, reported it, and then by his own admission stopped paying attention entirely.

      The Defense would ask the Court to consider what Officer Brooks' statement actually establishes, because on close reading, it is remarkably little:
      • Officer Brooks does not name Synn Jinnal at any point in his statement. In a workplace with multiple employees present, the prosecution has made no effort to explain how "a Benny's worker" became "this Benny's worker."
      • Officer Brooks was lying flat either on a rooftop or just at the vertical increase taking cover from active crossfire coming from both sides of the confrontation. He did not see the conversation he describes. He heard it - from a position badly described, during a gunfight, whilst actively taking fire from multiple directions.
      • Officer Brooks never identifies the voice he heard. He does not describe the individual, does not name them, and offers nothing that would allow anyone to confirm that the person he heard speaking was Mr. Jinnal as opposed to any other employee present that evening.
      • Officer Brooks explicitly states his attention left the worker entirely before the incident concluded. He cannot speak to what that individual did, where they went, or how they conducted themselves after that point.
      The prosecution has also leaned heavily on the assumption that the Benny's worker Brooks heard and the Benny's worker Deputy Adams searched are the same person. That is not evidence. That is an assumption built on top of another assumption, dressed up as corroboration. Benny's Motorworks had numerous workers on duty that night. The prosecution has produced nothing - no name, no description, no identifying detail - that connects Brooks' account to Mr. Jinnal specifically. They have simply hoped the Court will make that connection for them, and the now Defense submits that is not how probable cause works.

      The Defense would also draw the Court's attention to the closing remarks of Officer Brooks' statement, in which he states, and the Defense quotes directly: "he was helping rooks, and he got what was coming to him." The Defense pauses here because it feels that sentence warrants a moment of reflection. This is not the measured, objective account of a witness providing evidence to assist the Court in establishing facts. This is the language of someone who had already reached a conclusion before going to find evidence and that conclusion just so happened to target an honest, hard working black member of this community. Officer Brooks did not testify to this Court as a neutral observer recounting what he heard during a chaotic firefight. He came having already decided that Mr. Jinnal was guilty, that his arrest was deserved, and apparently that justice had already been served. The Defense submits that a witness who closes his formal statement with "he got what was coming to him" is not a witness whose unverified, unnamed, heard-not-seen account should be treated as a cornerstone of probable cause. The credibility of Officer Brooks is not incidental to this motion - it is central to it. And on that question, Officer Brooks has rather done the Defense's job for it.

      Taking all of this into account, the Defense submits that the evidentiary foundation the prosecution has presented is not one this Court can in good conscience accept as sufficient to justify the search of a named individual. A witness who never names the defendant, who was pinned down by gunfire on a rooftop, who admits he stopped paying attention, who never actually saw the person he is describing, and who offers nothing more sinister than a voice he heard - that is what stands between Mr. Jinnal and the suppression of this evidence. The Constitution demands more than that. It has always demanded more than that. To allow this search to stand on the basis of what has been presented would be to set a precedent that presence, assumption, and an unidentified voice heard through the chaos of an active gunfight are sufficient to strip a person of their constitutional protections. The Defense urges the Court in the strongest possible terms to grant this motion, suppress the evidence, and decline to reward the kind of investigative shortcut that produced it.

    COURT DECISION

    IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

    The State of San Andreas v. Synn Jinnal
    #26-BT-0013

    A decision was reached in the above case on the 1st day of March, 2026.


    The Court has reviewed the Defendant’s Motion to Suppress, the Prosecution’s response, the Defense reply, and all supporting exhibits submitted by both parties. The Court has also considered the arguments presented regarding the constitutionality of the search conducted by Deputy Justin Adams on January 28, 2026.

    This motion concerns whether the warrantless search of Defendant Synn Jinnal’s person and belongings, which resulted in the discovery of an AP pistol, was supported by individualized reasonable suspicion or probable cause as required under constitutional standards.

    The Court finds the following:
    • The arrest report reflects that Deputy Adams searched multiple Benny’s Motorworks employees pursuant to a generalized directive that employees “may be together” with armed suspects. This constitutes a blanket search of a group based on association and presence at the scene, rather than individualized suspicion.
    • While the Court acknowledges the dangerous and rapidly evolving circumstances of the incident, the Constitution does not permit warrantless searches absent specific, articulable facts connecting the individual searched to criminal activity or establishing reasonable suspicion that the individual is armed and dangerous.
    • The Prosecution relies primarily upon radio communications and witness statements indicating that a Benny’s employee offered to assist armed suspects during the incident. However, the evidence presented does not establish that the individual described in those communications was the Defendant, Synn Jinnal. No identifying description, visual confirmation, or corroborating evidence links the Defendant specifically to the conduct alleged.
    • The Court further notes that the witness relied upon by the Prosecution did not visually identify the individual in question and did not name the Defendant. The Court cannot substitute assumptions for individualized probable cause.


    Accordingly, the Court concludes that the search of the Defendant’s person and belongings was conducted without individualized reasonable suspicion or probable cause and was therefore unconstitutional. The Court will not set a precedent on Assumption = Probable Cause. As a result the Motion to Suppress is hereby GRANTED.

    Because the AP pistol was discovered as a direct result of an unlawful search, it constitutes fruit of the poisonous tree and is inadmissible.

    The Court notes that the charge of WF03 is predicated solely upon the suppressed evidence. The Prosecution may move forward as it deems appropriate consistent with this ruling.

    So Ordered,
