History
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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
