An anti-police activist group has launched a website it says contains a searchable database of photographs and information about every sworn Los Angeles Police officer.
Representatives for the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition say they filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking even more information about officers that they want to publish on the group'swebsite, which is now operational. The coalition wants the court to order LAPD to release the heights and weights of all its officers as well.
The groups website now allows the public to search for LAPD officers by name, offering an officer's photograph, rank, serial number, date of hire and area of work."We don't think that cops should have extra rights, but rather extra levels of transparency and accountability," said Sheila Bates of Black Lives Matter LA.
"They live in a hostile environment at times by a relatively few by dangerous individuals that would cause them harm," Moore told Eyewitness News. "I worry every day about my wife and about my family because of the threats and the issues that come against me as an individual, so I'll do everything within my power to protect the privacy interests of our officers."
"The LAPD is notorious to cover their badges and to not give people their names," said Hamid Khan of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition.
