SO1 trains and authorizes LAPD officers to gather street-level intelligence and information based on “observed behavior” of citizens, including non-criminal behaviors. Supported by US government anti-terrorism initiatives, officers can document “any reported or observed activity, or any criminal act or attempted criminal act, which an officer believes may reveal a nexus to foreign or domestic terrorism,” as well as other crimes that officers believe reveal a nexus to gang and/or narcotic activities. Furthermore SO1 reverses the basic premise of “innocent till proven guilty” by reporting criminal activity based upon reasonable indication from the officer’s observation rather than reasonable suspicion.
