Court documents show extraordinary measures taken against Calvary Chapel by Santa Clara County
Newly unearthed court documents reveal a bevy of extraordinary surveillance measures Santa Clara County used in trying to prove a San Jose megachurch and its congregants were violating COVID rules at the height of the pandemic.
“It is unconscionable how much time and money this county has spent surveilling and targeting this church when they should be focused on rebuilding the community,” said Mariah Gondeiro, an attorney for Calvary Chapel. The church, led by pastor Mike McClure, has not denied that it broke the county’s COVID rules, but has pushed back on the county fines, claiming that he and his congregation had the right to gather during the pandemic.
The court documents and their contents were first reported this week by independent journalist David Zweig.
