The City sued journalist Ben Camacho after he published info on LAPD officers that the city gave him legally.
"The city of Los Angeles' lawsuit is a thinly veiled attempt to silence Mr. Camacho and other journalists who report on law enforcement," said Dan Stormer, a lawyer representing Camacho. "The real motives behind this lawsuit are to shield the Los Angeles Police Department from any measure of accountability and transparency."

"Access to police records brings transparency and awareness to the otherwise secret inner workings of the LAPD, an organization that receives billions of dollars from the public.
