The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the payout to Josie Huang, a journalist for NPR affiliate LAist. “Journalists in Los Angeles County should be able to record police activity in public without fear of unlawful arrest,” Huang said in a statement after the supervisors’ vote.
“My arrest was traumatic, but I hope that some good can still come of this experience.” Deputies had slammed Huang to the ground September 12, 2020, accusing her of interfering with an arrest.
