The technology watchdog group Stop LAPD Spying Coalition posted more than 9,300 officers' information and photographs on Friday in a searchable online database following a public records request by a citizen journalist, the Times reported. The coalition opposes police intelligence-gathering and says the database should be used for “countersurveillance.”
The department's release of the undercover officers' names and photographs was inadvertent, the Times reported. Even though the city attorney's office determined the agency was legally required to turn them over under California's public records law.
