According to court documents, the video made its way to the Santa Clara Police Department on Dec. 22, two days after its initial upload to YouTube, as did the apology post on Jan. 7.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Clara police declined to provide the warrant to SFGATE because it was still being \u201cprocessed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, this legal trouble won\u2019t have much of an impact on his remaining time in the Bay Area.
