Rampart Scandal
The Rampart Scandal refers to widespread corruption of the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (C.R.A.S.H.) anti-gang unit of the LAPD Rampart Division in the late 1990s. More than 70 police officers in the CRASH unit were implicated in misconduct, making it one of the most widespread cases of documented police misconduct in U.S. history. The convicted offenses include unprovoked shootings, unprovoked beatings, planting of evidence, framing of suspects, stealing and dealing narcotics, bank robbery, falsifying reports, and covering up evidence of these activities.

The Rampart Scandal is notable in popular culture because several Rampart police were found to be on the payroll of rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight of Death Row Records, a convicted felon with known ties to the violent Mob Piru Bloods gang. Moreover, detective testimony and a wrongful death lawsuit filed April 16, 2007, holds Rampart CRASH officers Nino Durden, Rafael Pérez, and David Mack responsible for the 1997 drive-by murder of platinum-selling hip hop recording artist Notorius B.I.G.

As of May 2001, the Rampart investigation had brought 58 officers before an internal administrative board. Of these, 12 were suspended, seven resigned, and five were terminated. As a result of the probe into falsified evidence and police perjury, 106 prior criminal convictions were overturned. The Rampart Scandal resulted in more than 140 civil suits against the city of Los Angeles, costing the city an estimated $125 million in settlements.
As a result of the scandal, Police Chief Bernard Parks was not rehired by Mayor James K. Hahn in 2001, which is believed to have precipated Mayor Hahn's defeat by Antonio Villaraigosa in the 2005 election. The full extent of Rampart corruption is still not fully known, with several murders and robberies involving Rampart police that remain unsolved to this day.
