LAPD officer to stand trial on charges he falsely labeled dozens of innocent people as gang members.
At his preliminary hearing Thursday, Shaw’s defense attorney called a former LAPD gang officer to testify about the procedures used to collect and process information about suspected gang members, and the attorney suggested through questioning that information submitted by officers like Shaw was supposed to be vetted by others before it was added to the database.
“If a card says ‘S/A’ [self admitted], is it possible that there were others sources of information that wouldn’t be on body worn video?” Yacoubian asked retired LAPD detective Wayne Caffey, who said later he considered himself friends with Shaw and wasn’t charging Shaw’s defense, funded by the Los Angeles Police Protective League, for his expert testimony.
Last month the LAPD revealed that a single officer had been suspended for 5 days in connection with the false gang data investigation, according to a disciplinary disclosure that was stripped of information that could identify the punished officer by name. NBC4’s I-Team first reported in January, 2020 that the LAPD was investigating allegations that the names of some innocent pedestrians and motorists, including some teenagers, had been added to the Cal-Gangs database.
