Hi @OIGLABOPC

Summary to follow. @LAPDChiefMoore @LAPDBBixler

Per usual, subjects (black kids) we’re stopped for a minor traffic infraction, then removed from car, lined-up against wall/fence, they were searched, vehicle searched (even under the hood) without probable cause of a crime being committed. It gets worse.... #LAPD

When asked what the probable cause was for the search, no officers had answers.

But I’m not the least bit surprised, as I’ve witnessed this officer conduct similar stops in the past — in which I’ve personally filed 3rd party complaints with the @OIGLABOPC: see here:

Another angle of the kids lined-up as the @LAPDHollywood search under the car’s hood. All because they were pulled-over for blocking traffic. #LAPD #Hollywood

The wildest part about this racial profiling traffic stop that leads to an unconstitutional search, is the fact that THE EXACT SAME THING was happening 200 ft away in a separate simultaneous bad stop and illegal search.

BUT IT GETS WORSE: yes I’ve filed complaints against officer in 1st stop for illegal stops & search in past, & I ALSO have a complaint pending against the officer from the *2nd Stop* for bad stop and illegal search of black kids.

@LAPDLurie @LAPDBBixler wtf is up?

Why was the 2nd car pulled-over, occupant removed, searched?

“Music was too loud”.

And what was the “probable cause” for the search? No officer will say!

These are clear 4th amendment violations that I see constantly from the @LAPDHollywood. Half-dozen more complaints to come. All filed here.
