Three Lawsuits Filed Against The LA Dodgers Security

Three lawsuits were filed Tuesday against Los Angeles Dodgers alleging that the stadium security forces committed acts of violence against several “passionate and supportive” baseball fans during the 2021 season.

Los Angeles County Superior Court filed three suits detailing incidents in which security personnel allegedly committed acts of assault, battery, and false imprisonment against Dodger Stadium fans.

Peter DiDonato, plaintiffs’ attorney, stated that Dodgers fans demanded that the owners immediately alter the overhand security policies at Dodger Stadium.

Joe Jareck, a Dodgers spokesperson, stated that the team does not comment on any pending litigation. Additional questions regarding security protocol were not answered by Jareck.

Court documents state that the security team is made up of “non-sworn people,” off-duty uniformed Los Angeles Police Department officers, and off-duty law enforcement officers with no badges.

Dodgers Dugout Security: Some Dodger Stadium fans remain concerned about security

April 1, 2019

After an Aug. 17 match against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the first incident was reported to have occurred in the parking lot at the Elysian Park stadium.

Salvador Mota was preparing to leave the stadium with his wife Marie when security officers asked him to get out of his car.

According to the suit, he was then “assaulted” and “battered” by off-duty and non-sworn security personnel wearing dark polo shirts.

The complaint doesn’t explain why officers stopped Mota at first or ask him to get out of his car. DiDonato, reached by telephone Wednesday, stated that the attack occurred without provocation.
