A federal judge dismissed a drug trafficking case after defense attorneys argued that their clients were arrested by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s team they accused of illegally singling out Latino drivers on the 5 Freeway.
by his office found the unit was “inherently built to violate the constitutional rights of a vast number of people passing through the I-5 Freeway.”
Still, many of the other federal cases based on the team’s work have also fallen apart as the credibility of some deputies came under fire and judges ruled that deputies violated the rights of motorists by conducting unconstitutional searches. In her motion, Wakefield said Vann’s actions amounted to selective enforcement based on Carrillo’s Latino ethnicity, violating his 14th Amendment right to be free from discrimination.
All four of the other cases were dismissed by judges or at the request of prosecutors, according to the motion.
