Hundreds of Flashcalls overwhelm phone service to Compton Sheriff's Station on Friday night
The apology by the rapper ‘The Game’ Wednesday on CNN about the Flashcalls incident of August 12 involving Compton Sheriff’s Station is relevant and well received. His willingness to help share with the media and the community that the safety of the public is what is most important, is a great message.
Freedom of speech is part of what has made this country great. Peace officers are sworn to uphold and protect that right, and we welcome that responsibility. The challenge is that law enforcement, the news media, and celebrities are also facing the challenge of how to address each new social media issue that arises.
Based upon our investigation, as well as consultation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the LASD considers the criminal investigation into this matter closed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will not be seeking criminal charges.
While there are various laws that could be applicable in this case, there are certain aspects that have not quite caught up with the rapid pace of new media and all that it brings, which includes a lot of good as well as some rough edges.
We are working with legal experts to address what type of legislation may be considered to specifically address the new and ongoing media issues that may cause harm to public safety, while respecting each individual’s right to freedom of speech.
