There’s one neighborhood in Los Angeles where you’re more likely to be arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for possession of cannabis than anywhere else in the city:
Westchester.
Roughly a third of the people who were arrested by LAPD in the city of Los Angeles for cannabis-related offenses since 2020 were arrested in Westchester—the majority-white, upper-middle-class, suburban community on the city’s westside—according to LAPD data.
Nearly all of those arrests happened at one location:
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
