The LAPD says there's evidence of serious misconduct by at least two officers accused of switching off cameras and failing to report details of some searches and stops.
The inquiry began last December when a motorist made a complaint that officers had searched a car without consent or a warrant. A review of the officers’ body worn video and activity logs then revealed that, it appeared, the officers’ cameras had been intentionally switched-off and details of the contact weren’t fully documented.
LAPD internal affairs detectives obtained search warrants for some of the suspect officers’ lockers, cars, and homes to look for specific items that had been taken from at least one of the undocumented stops, officials confirmed.the existence of the investigation, and said the Department had invited the FBI to join the case.
So far, Moore said, it appeared this particular pattern of behavior was confined to the officers at the Mission Area gang unit, but integrity audits and body worn video recordings were reviewed at other gang units before the existence of this investigation was acknowledged. “Investigators have found no evidence that this type of misconduct extends to any other division in the City,” the LAPD said in its statement this week.
“The misconduct discovered is being addressed with urgency and certainty, and I will never tolerate actions that undermine the public’s trust and tarnish the badge we all so proudly wear,” Moore said.
