The FBI is investigating members of the Los Angeles Police Department's Mission Area Gang Enforcement Detail after two members were suspended over accusations of turning their body cameras off.
The LAPD Public Information Office said that an internal investigation was launched earlier this year in response to a complaint from someone claiming that two uniformed LAPD officers had searched his vehicle without his consent. An ensuing investigation found that the two officers, assigned to the department's Gang Enforcement Detail, had not documented the search as required, even going so far as to turn their body cameras off.
The LAPD PIO added that the department had consulted the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office about the case. The investigation has been referred to the Public Corruption Civil Rights Section of the United States Attorney's Office, and the FBI Civil Rights Division has launched its own investigation.
