DA Brandenburg responds to NMIPRA complaint against Sheriff Darren White.

"I am not sure our office is the appropriate place to file a complaint. We are in the business of prosecution. Everything we do comes to us via referral from a law enforcement agency. We do not have the resources or expertise to investigate cases or complaints."


yet according to the law, the NMIPRA;

XI. SECTION 14-2-12. ENFORCEMENT
The Law
A. An action to enforce the Inspection of Public Records Act may be brought by:
(1) the attorney general or the district attorney in the county of jurisdiction; or
(2) a person whose written request has been denied.

It seems clear that an action to enforce is absolutely within the jurisdiction of the DA.
