It’s really unlikely that the LAPD on its own would create such a disparity. Obviously the difference isn’t due to less public urination in Skid Row, it’s due to extreme differential enforcement. That is less than 4% of the arrests in the Hollywood Entertainment District. 3 Between 20 these 11 reporting districts accounted for only 35 arrests for public urination. There are 1135 reporting districts in the City, but these six in the BID accounted for 52.4% of all the public urination arrests in the City from 2009 through 2019, a total of 887 arrests out of 1,693.Ĭontrast this with Skid Row, which is encompassed by 11 reporting districts. That is, there are essentially six LAPD reporting districts in the Hollywood Entertainment District BID. And a quick analysis reveals a very similar result. 2Īnd it turns out that LAPD will release these spreadsheets pretty quickly, and just recently they released a couple containing all arrests for violating LAMC 41.47.2, which is the public urination law. But since 2016 they have refused to provide data on their individual arrests in response to CPRA requests, so it hasn’t been possible to tell who they were arresting and why. Their arrest rate has dropped precipitously in the last few years, but it is still unbelievably high. In 2013 they were responsible for more than 7% of the arrests of homeless people in the entire City of Los Angeles. The HPOA BID Patrol is famous for its aggressive arrest policies.

Here’s what I said then about the BID’s outrageous rate of arresting homeless residents: 1 This is obviously a crime much more likely to be committed by homeless people, since they don’t have a private place to smoke marijuana. A few weeks ago I learned from some data released by the LAPD that 73% of all arrests for public marijuana use in the entire City of Los Angeles between 20 took place in the Hollywood Entertainment District BID.
