LAPD employees' lawsuit dismissed
According to the latest reports, covid has killed more policemen than gunfire since the beginning of the pandemic. Even so, LAPD filed a lawsuit last year against the city's vaccine mandate for all public employees.
13 employees of the Los Angeles Police Department filed a lawsuit against the city's vaccine mandate and testing requirements. The lawsuit was filed after the City Council and Mayor Eric Garcetti approved a bill in August making it mandatory for all city employees to be vaccinated by October. Barring those with medical or religious exemptions, even those employees would have to adhere to weekly mandatory testing. In a ruling given yesterday, federal judge R.Gary Klausenr decided to side with the city and dismiss the lawsuit filed by the employees stating that the vaccine mandates and testing requirements were reasonable. The judge wrote "the supreme court has long rejected a fundamental right to refuse vaccination" "there is also no fundamental right to continued governmental employment."
Employees claimed that the mandates violated their Fourth Amendment right to be protected from unreasonable search and seizure, as well as the right to due process. Judge Klausner also wrote, "considering plaintiffs are entrusted with public safety and have contractually contented to searches that are more invasive than those required by covid tests, plaintiffs undoubtedly have a reduced privacy interest." According to John Hopkins University, California currently leads the nation in the number of Covid cases standing high and mighty at 6.2 million.
