More than 300 LAPD officers gave notice that they will file a negligence lawsuit against the city for allegedly endangering their lives by releasing their photographs.
More than 300 Los Angeles police officers who worked in sensitive assignments gave notice Tuesday that they will file a negligence lawsuit against the city for allegedly endangering their lives by releasing their department photographs along with images of thousands of other cops under the state’s public records law.
McNicholas told reporters Tuesday morning he was aware of “several” undercover operations that have folded as a result of the photos’ release. He said he was told by some LAPD supervisors that “several” of their undercover officers had been threatened, but declined to provide further details. McNicholas said some officers who signed on to the claims worried about retaliation from the department for joining a legal action against LAPD leadership. He said they would turn over an anonymous list detailing the assignments of all 321 officers.
“In the age of 1s and 2s, that’s going to be extremely difficult,” he said at a news conference at a Beverly Hills hotel. But, “to do nothing is not an option.” The photos released included members of the Special Investigation Section of the Robbery Homicide Division that tails and watches violent criminals suspected in murders, serial robberies and kidnappings.
Robert Rico, the league’s general counsel, said that suit would give officers who believe their positions put them in potential danger “the ability to have redress in court and address the court to have their photographs and names clawed back. That’s a legal term.”
