A photojournalist is being sued by the city of Los Angeles for publishing hundreds of images of undercover officers that were accidentally given to him by the LAPD.
Lawyers for the city of Los Angeles are alleging that the release of names, photos, and serial numbers of more than 9,000 LAPD officers in response to a public records request and related litigation filed by Camacho was “inadvertent.”
“The City seeks the return of these inadvertently produced photos to protect the lives and work of these undercover officers,” Los Angeles’ attorneys wrote. “Mr. Camacho did nothing wrong. He relied on the City’s statement that the Photographs included no ‘undercover’ officers,” the photojournalist’s“He had the right under the state and federal constitutions to petition the City for those records and publish them on the internet after the City gave them to him.
