Fury at LA City Hall plot to deploy civilian army to replace traffic cops: ‘Deadly demolition derby’

An LA City Hall plot to strip cops of powers to detain drivers for traffic violations and let civilians do it is “extremely dangerous,” top officers have warned. Council bosses on Wednesday threw weight behind watered-down plans to crack down on pre-textual traffic stops in a unanimous 14-0 ruling. The move as it stands tightens restrictions on what police can do when pulling someone over, but threatens to pave the way for radical ambitions to shift the control to non-sworn officers.
