Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Monday, LAPD officers in San Fernando Valley cities - the department's Mission Division - will start wearing body cams. Other divisions will follow, first from 860 cameras paid for with private donations, then from the 7,000 cameras authorized in the city budget over the next two years.
L.A. will become the biggest city to adopt the cameras, but how the video they collect will be used has been part of a contentious debate. I spoke at length about the issue with the President of the Police Commission, Steve Soboroff.
