Subsequent investigations discovered that these \u2063officers, who were\u200d assigned to the Gang Enforcement\u2063 Detail, failed to properly document the search as required and even went as\u2064 far as turning off their\u200b body cameras.<\/p>\n<h3>Consequences for Misconduct<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The Department&#8217;s expectations are that all traffic stops or detentions will be fully documented, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-investigating-members-of-lapd-gang-unit-for-allegedly-turning-off-body-cameras\/\" title=\"FBI probes LAPD gang unit members for allegedly disabling body cams.\">body-worn video devices<\/a> will be used as\u200b required,&#8221; stated Los Angeles \u200bPolice Chief \u2062Michel Moore.

The \u2064investigation has now been referred to the Public Corruption Civil\u200c Rights Section of the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office, and \u200dthe FBI Civil Rights Division has launched its own independent investigation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">CLICK \u200cHERE FOR\u200c MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Importance of \u2062Body Cameras<\/h3>\n<p>Although not mandatory\u2064 in California, the use of\u2064 body cameras has become a common \u2063policy\u2063 among major local agencies like the LAPD.
