In the article "That was then, this is now" written by Cosmo Garvin, published in The Sacramento News and Review on August 8, 2007, the autor writes about the supposed "new and improved" gang injunction targeting the alleged gang "Broderick Boys" of West Sacramento. Garvin does not hesitate to use quotes from Mark Reichel.
"And deciding who is a gang member and who isn’t is not an exact science. In fact, “it’s junk science,” said attorney Mark Reichel, who plans on representing an alleged Broderick Boy in court this fall.
“If you wear a certain color, if you like a certain sports team, if you’re seen talking to certain individuals, those are all factors,” Reichel said. “It gives way too much power to law enforcement. It makes The Scarlet Letter look soft.”
