The California Attorney General’s Office has removed access to data entered by the LAPD into the CalGang system as allegations of falsified information put the tool into question.

Attorney General Xavier Beccera’s office, which has oversight of the statewide database of suspected gang members, announced the move Tuesday. It comes less than a month after the Los Angeles Police Department suspended its use of the system.

Earlier this year, accusations came to light that officers patrolling South Los Angeles logged false information into the database to boost statistics. The LAPD disclosed in January that it launched a probe after a Van Nuys mother reported that her son had been misidentified as a gang member, according to the L.A. Times.

The LAPD and Minneapolis PD are the 2 most corrupt PDs in the country.

I would have thought Chicago's Police Department would have been number 1.

Chicago is corrupt enough to hide a lot of it's corruption. I claim that other State governments wish they were as perfectly corrupt as Chicago.

New Orleans is pretty bad.

But if you want to see the most crooked cops, you don't look at large population centers. You look at small towns and rural areas.

If by crooked you mean effective and respected

No, that's not at all what I mean.

This Mayberry view of the rural United States is just as accurate as the view that the 1950s were a golden age when people acted right.

Which is to say, not accurate at all.

1. Some people in Los Angeles think that the Los Angeles (county) Sheriff's Department is worse than the Los Angeles (city) Police Department.

2. Reportedly, some sheriff's deputies are past gang members who still have controversial tattoos.
