Cleansing responses to document requests became common during the Garcetti Administration. Thus, I would make the same requests to a number of agencies at the same time without letting anyone know I was making multiple requests. Interestingly, one agency would produce dox which other agencies denied existing. From what I could ascertain, each agency or council district only hides dox which harmed them. While I seldom make requests for public documents anymore, my impression is that the new City Atty Hydee Feldman-Soto seems to feel "if it's harmful, hide it." The LADBS may have destroyed thousands of documents, but that's a story (lawsuit) for another day.
