LAPD Gang Units
LOS ANGELES - AUGUST 4: A member of the Diamond Street hispanic street gang is helped into a Los Angeles Police Department gang unit car following his arrest for drug possession after his car was pulled over and searched by Los Angeles police on August 5, 2006 in the Rampart neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. The vehicle's driver, left, known as "Lumpy," is a veteran gang member and a known drug dealer. Police pulled him over as he was driving a new 4-door Lexus with marijuana smoke spewing out of the sunroof. Police were about to issue a simple citation for marijuana possession when another gang policeman uncovered 3 ounces of pure crack cocaine with a street value of over $5000 hidden behind the rear seat. All three were put under arrest with a felony charge. More crack cocaine was found hidden in their shoes. The Diamond Street gang is one Los Angeles's oldest hispanic street gangs.
