LAPD Chief Beck Looks Back to Move Forward

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said his office has been receiving piles of calls from law enforcement agencies throughout the country, all of whom want to know how the department overcame similar issues in the past.

Back in 1992, in the middle of the Rodney King riots, the city was set ablaze as protesters ran amok in many areas of the city.

In the years moving ahead, court-ordered reforms alongside a commitment to make things better provided the Los Angeles Police Department with a solid foundation to help change its ways.

The reforms were widespread, according to sources, and addressed everything from institutionalized …

The True Cost Of DUI Is Much Higher Than You Think

People who chose to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not only putting themselves, and others at risk; if they are arrested they could find themselves being buried under a pile of crippling debt.

Although many places in California will release first-time drunk drivers on their own recognizance, some places, such as the San Diego Central Jail, always require that a defendant post bail bonds.

Bail for this offense can be as low as $2,500 or as high as $100,000 depending on what happened during the arrest.  If the defendant got into an accident where another person …

Arrest Made In McChicken Assault Case

A man who broke his wife's nose after throwing a McChicken sandwich at her face has been arrested and booked on domestic violence charges.

Experts Question Legality Of CA’s DNA Collection Laws

It's no great secret that when a person is arrested they'll be fingerprinted as part of the booking process; in the past decade, many California jails have also started to take a DNA swab.

The idea behind that was simple:  cross check the defendants DNA against a national database to determine whether their genetic fingerprinted tied them to a prior crime.   In some cases, the practice has helped law enforcement officials solve years-old cold cases.

But the practice may have found itself coming to a screeching halt.  Last week, a CA Court of Appeals found that taking a DNA sample from …
