LAPD Undercover Identities Exposed in Epic Blunder.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) mistakenly exposed the identities of dozens of officers working undercover to investigate national security breaches, drug cartels, and other dangerous criminal enterprises. The mistake arose when the city responded to a public records request by releasing the names, photographs, and badge numbers of more than 9,000 officers. None of the officers - undercover or otherwise - were given advance warning or offered an opportunity to raise objections to their information becoming public. The police union has lodged a formal complaint to demand accountability from the LAPD chief and his top legal adviser.
