People v. City of Los Angeles(B351726)

This case raises the question of whether a department of a municipality can be criminally prosecuted. CSAC’s amicus brief explains that municipal departments are not separate legal entities, and describes the absurd and unequal results of the prosecution of municipal entities under current state law. The brief was prepared by Michael Webb of the Law Office of Michael W. Webb in Redondo Beach.
