A recently surfaced video depicts an incident involving Joseph Iniguez, the current No. 2 prosecutor in Los Angeles and a top aide to District Attorney George Gascon. The video captures Iniguez's arrest after he interrupted police officers who had pulled over his then-fiance during a traffic stop in 2021.
At the time of the incident, Iniguez was Gascon's chief of staff and was riding as a passenger in the vehicle when the couple was stopped by police for a suspected traffic violation. Iniguez, who recorded the encounter on a cellphone, can be heard asserting that the officers had pulled over the wrong person and urged them to check his license plates, which would have revealed his affiliation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
