Lego Asks California Police to Stop Using Company’s Toy Heads to Hide Faces of Suspected Criminals

The California police have been asked by Lego to stop using Lego toy heads to obscure suspects’ faces in social media posts. Since 2023, the police department has been employing Lego heads and emojis for this purpose on social media. The practice gained widespread attention last week when the department publicized their policy. The Murrieta police, located south of Los Angeles, have been sharing images of their operations on Instagram, using Lego heads to comply with new legislation that mandates California police to safeguard the identities of suspects implicated in nonviolent crimes. However, Lego expressed dissatisfaction with the use of its iconic characters in this manner. Lt Jeremy Durrant of Murrieta stated, “The Lego Group reached out to us and respectfully asked us to refrain from using their intellectual property in our social media content. We understand their concerns and will comply with their request.” US Cops Shoot and Kill Man Holding a Plastic Fork in Los Angeles, Disturbing Video Surfaces.
