LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A judge this week blocked a county watchdog's investigation into deputy gangs in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department - at least for now.

The union for sheriff's deputies filed a lawsuit after the Office of Inspector General ordered 35 deputies suspected of being "Banditos" or "Executioners" to answer questions about deputy gangs and show their tattoos.

The judge in his ruling found that the county is required to bargain with the union before making significant changes to their employment, such as being forced to show their tattoos.

( The only union I have never supported. Talk about bullshit. )

1. Bullshit...probable cause and a warrant trumps a union contract

State law and criminal code supercedes a union contract.

The union should fight this as unions always do, but the independent judiciary should look at probable cause and say show your tattoos

2. If they lied about their past it might be grounds to fire them.

3. Something to change in the next contract

4. K&R

Maybe a federal RICO investigation will come around someday.
