Los Angeles Police Using Technology Against Crime

Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys who defend people accused of complex crimes often have to do battle with the LAPD and their advanced "crime fighting" tactics.  A competent Los Angeles criminal defense attorney has to stay up to date with all of the latest advances in police technology.  Lately, police have used various forms of technology to aid the prosecution during trials.

For example, a new Los Angeles police facility has been set up to give detectives more "up to the minute" information on crimes currently in process.  The center basically allows 911 calls to get to detectives quicker, which would theoretically allow them to get to crime scenes as fast as possible.  It also receives information from closed-circuit cameras in 400 different locations across the city. 

Unfortunately, technology often prosecutes crimes without due process.  For example, if you are caught speeding by a closed-circuit camera, you are not given any sort of trial or really the ability to defend yourself.   You are considered guilty.  Camera malfunction and the right to confront your face is thrown out the window; instead, the accused is simply declared guilty and assessed a fine.  Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys have to battle such uses of technology when defending against violent crimes, sex crimes and so forth.  The use of DNA, complex investigation techniques and even the way paperwork is processed will all involve some form of technology.  When faced with the government's billion dollar investment in technology, only a highly skilled Los Angeles criminal defense attorney will have the skill to be able to effectively provide a skilled defense.
