Scroll back.

The order from Judge William Ryan applies solely to computers sheriff’s investigators took from Metro’s Office of Inspector General, whose attorney filed papers Thursday asking the judge to toss the search warrant used to seize the equipment.

The attorney argued that the warrant served this week was illegal. He said it failed to comply with a ruling made by a different judge regarding “an identical warrant” served last year in the same case, which has generated criticism that Sheriff Alex Villanueva is targeting his critics."

The L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy-Gang Crisis
Whistle-blowers say that a group called the Banditos functions as a shadow government within local law enforcement. The sheriff says there is no such gang in his department
She was naïve at first, she said. But a detective told her, “Just pay attention. You’ll find out who’s really in charge.” Officially, stations are run by captains, with the help of an operations staff. At East L.A., Gonzalez discovered, there was a shadow government: a secretive group of sheriff’s deputies known as the Banditos.

I live in LA County Unincorporated and there are no gangs within the Sheriff Dept. Sheriff V has been on KFI 640 Talk Radio w/ John and Ken talking about this and, he came to our watch group to give a talk. Nice guy and very personable - great sense of humor. If you call looking out for your brother's back (cop) as being a gang member than that's pretty darn sad. Cops are out there working in dangerous areas and look out for each other. Has nothing to do with GANGS! By the way, I live in a very DIVERSE community mostly Latino and these folks back them and appreciate them.

Sadly, the BOS Board of Supervisors have an agenda only "a few of them" because Sheriff V is tough on crime. He pulls no punches - We need this today with all that is going on with crime.

I would suggest doing your own research and listening to the podcasts that Sheriff V has done with KFI640 John and Ken.

You must not have paid attention to what Villanueva had done in the past four years. Understandable, since you live in Idaho.

Perhaps Luna’s most immediate challenge will be moving the department beyond the turmoil caused by Villanueva’s combative approach.

He will need to rebuild the department’s ties to public agencies across the county and the city of Los Angeles that Villanueva systematically ruptured by attacking other elected officials whom he said were part of an overly liberal “weaponized political machine” that allowed homelessness and crime to flourish. At the top of that list were the county supervisors, who control the sheriff’s budget and clashed fiercely with Villanueva, as well as the Civilian Oversight Commission, which the supervisors appointed to watch over the Sheriff’s Department.

Supervisor Hilda Solis said Tuesday that she looks forward to the board establishing a collaborative relationship with Luna.

“We didn’t have one with this sheriff,” Solis said. “Mr. Luna’s going to have to come in, get things together, reform it and make people understand that this is a job — everyone needs to have your trust.”

Sean Kennedy, a member of the civilian oversight commission, said he expects that Luna will reverse course from the “controversies and stonewalling and attempts to intimidate oversight officials” under Villanueva.
