L.A. Traffic Cop Fired for Starring in Porn Film While on Duty…in Uniform

One would think that a police officer might know better than to appear in a web-based porn film at all, let alone in full uniform while on duty, and not expect to be found out.

Well, that’s what reportedly happened when one Los Angeles traffic cop appeared in a popular online porn series, fondling a porn actress’ breasts and spanking her.

Officer John Dancler has reportedly been discharged from the L.A. Department of Transportation while another officer who also appeared in the adult film has been allowed to return to his job in parking enforcement.

An NBC4 investigative report back in April exposed the officers’ participation in the lewd movie, allegedly prompting an investigation into the misconduct by the LADOT. NBC4 reports:

Bruce Gillman, spokesman for LADOT called the agency’s investigation “thorough” and said it is now complete. The department has disciplined the officers for “inappropriate behavior while on duty,” Gillman said.

Dancler is appealing his termination before the city’s Civil Service Commission.

“We believe the city’s action is totally unwarranted and…we believe it’s a wrongful termination,” Dancler’s attorney, Bobby Samini, told NBC4.

The other officer in the movie, Vaughn Dorsey, has been allowed to return to his job as a parking enforcement officer in the Valley Division after being disciplined, according to multiple sources in the department.

The movie featured Dorsey standing by while a porn actress performed indecent acts on herself in his Parking Enforcement car.

Sources reportedly told NBC4 that then-Chief Jimmy Price was “aware” of the officers’ participation in the porn film, but chose to look the other way. Price alleged the reason he was slow to respond was because a “positive identification” could not be made on the officers in the film. But anonymous sources say that’s “hogwash.”

L.A. Police Officer Fired for Starring in Porn Film

Perhaps not coincidentally, just weeks after the investigation, Price retired a reported two years ealier than he originally planned, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa replaced the management at LADOT, promising to enact swift discipline of any and all officers engaged in future misconduct.

Meanwhile L.A.P.D. Commander Michael Williams is now temporarily in charge of Parking Enforcement and told NBC4 he intends to clean up the department:

“I assure you that we’re going to put systems in place that will hold everybody accountable up and down the line,” Williams told NBC4 in May. ”Up and down the chain of command.”

The video report below features clips of the adult film that the officers appeared in and explains the subsequent investigation:

    Isnt it a shame that im not surprised by this one bit. At this point, i am used to the police department being made up of 50% power hungry, corrupt jerks, 25% worthless, lazy, do nothings, and 25% hard working, good people who are stuck with the reputation of the other 75%.

    You cant count on the police to do the right thing anymore, and thats a shame. Protecting and Serving is no longer a priority. It has become DUI checkpoints, red light cameras, and staying off video.

    I left police work in the Miami area in 1997. The views expressed by most people here, on this issue, are correct. The fact this officer is fighting to keep his job because he feels he has done nothing wrong tells me, he lacks the critical thinking ability that all officers should have in order to perform his/her duties.

    He should have done like most other officers and simply gone to work, handled the calls assigned to him, collect a paycheck and go home, in other words, be a good employee. My problem, I went to WORK instead of just my place of employment every day and actually WORKED. That alone was enough to cause problems for me, in the station that is, because as I was told by my supervisor(s), you work too hard and you make everyone else look bad. Just go along and get along…. I don’t need no stinking badge bad enough to sell my soul.

    Pathetic!

    What is going on???? How can anyone who took an oath to be a PUBLIC SERVANT WHO IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT GOD’S GOVERNMENT allow themselves to be plagued with immorality and still think they can serve the people within reason? We have to understand that these sinfulness sins and no fear of GOD has brought our Constitutional Republic GOD fearing system to the the point of sheer madness and neglect of all things pure. Sexual immorality is an abomination as well as any perversion of morality. WE ALL SIN but when you are a representative of justice do you think you also have a right to break GOD very statues and commands? You are supposed to be an example. Will you listen American?

    Romans 1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

      Is honor still worn with those who carry badges?
      seems to me like they BLOW honor away. The oath they have taken is not only to serve & protect but with it comes being a role model. On the bright side of this, one less bad cop fired will hopefully make room for good ones. I don’t understand how they thought they could get away with this, I mean haven’t they learned from being on the force, do the crime, you’ll do the time…

      There are still some very good police officers left. They should not bear the brunt of these people’s behavior. However, these bad apples make it difficult for the good ones that remain. If they break the rules, they should be GONE. There is no room for this kind of behavior when you wear a badge.

      The LAPD has always had problems. Some very deadly. You must remember that these guys become numb to reality. I live Lived in LA for 25 years and there is so much sh..t that goes down the the Big Smoke that nothing surprises you anymore. You just become one of the Zombies. Imagine being a cop
      and coping with that daily. So to me it is no surprise. He just happened to make the press, many don’t.
