New limits on 'pretextual stops' by LAPD officers approved, riling police union

Under a new policy adopted Tuesday,

The vote was made over objections by the police union that represents rank-and-file officers, which said pretextual stops are critical to ensuring public safety and should not be restricted. Critics of the Los Angeles Police Department also spoke out against the measure, saying these types of stops disproportionately affect people of color and should be banned completely.

But under the LAPD’s new policy, pretextual stops are allowed only if an officer has “articulable information ... regarding a serious crime” before making them. At the commission meeting LAPD Chief Michel Moore expressed concern that making the policy effective immediately would not give the department time to train officers on how to abide by it and could lead to widespread confusion. Rhodes said it could take until July to sufficiently train all officers on the new policy.

So according to your numbers, guns were 'only' recovered in 3.5% of 62,000 stops. So there were over TWO THOUSANDS GUNS (!!!) recovered in the South Bureau alone last year! What do you think those guns would have been used for? Pretextual stops save lives.

So basically stop and frisk?

Well done, LA Times. These reforms never would have happened if you hadn't exposed the abuses that were going on

When I read this, watch BoschAmazon and therookie I wonder what the average LAPD officer is really like.

(Almost) everybody in L.A. loves police and prison reforms but (almost) everybody is freaked out by fast rising and broadening blatant crime. These can't exist coequally in the short term.
