California Attorney General candidate Dave Jones has asked television stations to stop airing campaign ads for Democratic rival Xavier Becerra, alleging that portions of the 30-second spots were improperly filmed in the Sacramento building that houses the Third District Court of Appeal.
Jones, the state insurance commissioner, also filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission and asked the attorney general's office to appoint a special counsel to investigate his allegations about four Becerra TV commercials and a print mailer.
Becerra's campaign obtained a permit to shoot the ads from the California Film Commission. The filming took place on April 26 with a 12-member crew working in and around the building, which is home to some state library operations as well as the Third District court.
