The city of Phoenix has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Donald Trump campaign demanding the campaign and its cohorts remove an ad that has begun airing in which Trump featured Phoenix police officers without their consent.
City attorney Brad Holm wrote, “Phoenix has not approved –- and will not approve -– the creation or use of any media bearing the faces and likeness of its on-duty police officers in any political advertisement for any political candidate. The officers were unaware that they were photographed and videotaped, and they did not consent to the use of their on-duty images in any Trump (or other) campaign advertisement. The officers depicted in the ad were in uniform precisely because they were on duty performing work for Phoenix at the time.”
