A judge won't issue a temporary restraining order against a reporter and an activist group that released LAPD officers' photos.
Efforts by the city of Los Angeles to force a journalist and a police watchdog group to return more than 9,000 photos and names of LAPD officers were dealt a blow Tuesday when a judge rejected a request for a temporary restraining order that would have prevented them from doing anything with the data.
They argued that the publication of images of officers who serve in undercover assignments posed a safety risk to the officers. After receiving the photos, Camacho provided them to the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, which published them online last month. Beckloff said the city was trying to prevent the dissemination or publication of the information, but he told the city’s lawyers: “You really don’t address the prior restraint issue. You buried the lead.” He said the city needed to address the pivotal U.S. Supreme Court case on prior restraint — Nebraska Press Assn. vs. Stuart — and whether the injunction would be effective.
Also Tuesday, Camacho said on Twitter that Microsoft had taken down a folder filled with head shots in a cloud drive for “violating terms of service.” Camacho previously tweeted a link to the folder, which contained the names and photos of 9,300 LAPD officers. Other attorneys representing Camacho include Susan Seager, head of UC Irvine School of Law’s Press Freedom Project.
The motion also states that the city failed to define an undercover assignment and that its claims of threats to officer safety are conjecture.
