Lego Orders California Police Department to Stop Using Images of the Toys to Hide Criminal’s Identities
Lego has ordered the Murrieta Police Department in California to stop using images of the toys to mask suspects’ identities in social media posts.
Images of the Lego-headed criminals went massively viral last week.
Murrieta Police Department Lt. Jeremy Durrant confirmed Lego had contacted them.
“The Lego Group reached out to us and respectfully asked us to refrain from using their intellectual property in our social media content which of course we understand and will comply with,” Durrant told Fox News. “We are currently exploring other methods to continue publishing our content in a way that is engaging and interesting to our followers.”
Last Tuesday, the Murrieta Police Department announced on Instagram that they would be using Lego heads to comply with a state privacy law.
