In one video, while waiting at an undisclosed In-N-Out location, Sarabia-Medina is quietly in his patrol car, looking at and adjusting his camera while the words "In & In-N-Out. Flying Dutchman. 50% off, thank you sir!" float above his head. The officer received a discount while in uniform and on duty, which raised ethical questions about his conduct.
Respondent recorded himself receiving a gratuity in the form of a discounted meal while on duty, in a police vehicle, and in full department uniform," read a report from LASD. This incident highlights issues of officers maintaining professionalism and integrity in public service.
During an internal affairs review, Respondent was dishonest with LASD investigators when he said he had not recorded any TikTok videos while on duty," read the report, signifying a breach of trust and integrity expected from law enforcement officials.
Despite the ubiquity of TikTok, LASD policy does not allow officers to post videos on their personal accounts while on duty. This policy underscores the need for adherence to rules governing social media and professional behavior.
