Police Union Opposes BLM Lawsuit to End Traffic Stops on Suspected Stolen Vehicles

Los Angeles (CA) –Today, Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and other activist groups filed a lawsuit against the LAPD attempting to prohibit car stops of suspected stolen vehicles. The Los Angeles Police Protective League issued this statement in response:

"If successful, the latest legal stunt by the police abolitionist group BLM-LA will serve no other purpose than to allow car thieves to get away with stealing more cars and place police officers in further danger as they attempt to investigate car thefts and other crimes. Coddling criminals and decreasing enforcement are not the solutions to a safer LA, arresting criminals and holding their apologists accountable will keep us safer."
