A lawsuit has been filed against the city of Los Angeles and the LA Police Department after the identities of hundreds of undercover officers were "negligently" released and ended up on anti-cop websites.
Over 300 of the impacted officers took legal action in April, alleging the city "incorrectly produced the complete roster of LAPD officers, including current undercover officers and officers with previous undercover assignments" when asked for information via two California Public Records Act requests.
"The City of Los Angeles' reckless production of the undercover officers' identities does irreparable damage to these individuals – their lives, careers and ongoing investigations are at risk," said Matthew McNicholas, partner at the firm representing 321 undercover LAPD officers whose information was leaked.
