Eugene Shin, as you may recall, is the Police Commission investigator that’s heading up the registration project.
Well, just yesterday, as part of a larger release of records from the East Hollywood BID, I discovered a February 2017 email from Eugene Shin to Nicole Shahenian. In December 2017 the Police Commission told the BIDs to quit whining about it because the law is the law. So in November 2016 the Police Commission informed all BIDs of the registration requirement and, at the same time, told them that their BID patrollies would be subject to arrest if they didn’t submit. 1 Since then it’s been possible to track the progress of this massive project via various CPRA requests. You may recall that late last year, on the basis of my complaint to the Police Commission, the City of LA resumed enforcement of LAMC 52.34 against BID security forces.
