“The Los Angeles Police Commission recently approved weighty new revisions to the LAPD’s controversial Special Order 1 policy and the agency’s intelligence guidelines amid strong public opposition, enabling police officers to continue to gather, record and share intelligence and information based solely on observed behavior. SO1 enables police officers to single out behavior or activity they deem to be ‘suspicious’, and then file a report on the citizen or make a stop. SAR guidelines detail that innocuous activities like taking pictures or using binoculars can be seen as potentially criminal behavior.”
