Скачать или смотреть LAPD Corruption EXPOSED: Rafael Perez & The Rampart Scandal

The Rampart Scandal remains one of the most explosive police corruption cases in American history. Centered on LAPD’s Rampart Division and its CRASH anti-gang unit, the controversy erupted when Officer Rafael Perez confessed to stealing cocaine from evidence, framing suspects, fabricating reports, and lying under oath. His testimony helped expose a network of planted guns and drugs, coerced confessions, perjury, and excessive force that shook Los Angeles in the late 1990s.
In this video, we break down exactly who Rafael Perez was, how the evidence theft case cracked open, what his cooperation deals revealed, and how the scandal led to overturned convictions, multi-million-dollar settlements, and a federal consent decree that reshaped LAPD oversight. We also examine key cases tied to the unit, the fallout for officers, and the scandal’s impact on police accountability nationwide.
Watch to the end for verified timelines, court outcomes, and how Rampart influenced pop culture—yes, even Training Day.
