Law enforcement in the San Fernando Valley is on the alert for criminal activities taking place throughout the cities in the area.

That does not mean they are always correct in the person that they arrest, or that all of their actions are within the restrictions of the law. Overzealous officers could make mistakes; rights are violated.
