After receiving the photos, Camacho provided them to the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, which published them online last month. In one of several declarations filed by the city, LAPD Capt. Knock LA and the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition have denounced the lawsuit in separate statements. The Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a frequent critic of the Police Department's use of surveillance technology, called it "an attack on the public's ability to request, analyze, and publish public records." Hamid Khan, a coordinator with Stop LAPD Spying, said Camacho shared the officers' images and information with his organization.
