> Unless there is an equivalent LAPD initiative that uploads the pictures of law-abiding citizens with names and other identifying info to the public web
I notice that news organizations are perfectly happy to post names, photos, and other information about suspects, but much less likely to publish information about police officers. I can't help but wonder if something like this watch the watchers site would even be seen as necessary if any search engine could do the job just as well.
Isn't that what many mugshots are? It looks like LAPD at least doesn't dump them online like some places do, but even things like https://app5.lasd.org/iic/ or https://www.lapdonline.org/office-of-the-chief-of-police/pro... could be just as damaging unless records are pulled offline when people are later found to be totally innocent.
