Los Angeles City Department of Traffic officer John K. Dancler was fired in 2009 after appearing in a pornographic video in 2008. He had appealed the firing. Fellow officer Vaughn Dorsey, who appeared in the video, is still employed by the Department of Transportation. Department of Transportation should not be confused with the LAPD as it is a separate department and is non-sworn.
