Los Angeles Police Chief Spars Over Smog Enforcement
In a public spat aired at a Thursday session led by Supervisor Roger Jessup, Chief William H. Parker and County Counsel Harold Kennedy clashed over police enforcement of smog rules. Parker questioned the police department’s legal right to enforce APCD regulations, while Kennedy argued the APCD rules have force as provided by law. Kennedy said he would take the question to the state high court, and Parker resisted taking on enforcement without legal directive.
