A Los Angeles County judge ruled against a lawsuit by the Los Angeles Police Protective League, alleging that LAPD Cmdr. Lillian Carranza unlawfully accessed materials meant for lower-ranking officers. Judge Bruce Iwasaki determined that the union failed to demonstrate any actual damage resulting from Carranza's actions, as she accessed a union survey while claiming her identity. The ruling was finalized as 'dismissed with prejudice', meaning the case cannot be refiled. The incident highlights tensions between different ranks within the LAPD and concerns regarding accessing union materials.
Iwasaki wrote that the league failed to make a clear allegation of the "damage or loss" it incurred as a result of Carranza's actions, which centered on her accessing a union survey of its members, who are all below the rank of captain.
Carranza and other command officers have their own separate union, and she pointed out that she and other command staff routinely used the league's system to access their agency benefits.
