| When you access the LASD Inmate Information website, you may be asked to type in a series of letters/numbers that you see in a picture. If you can read the picture, the website assumes you are human because computers presumably cannot read image text. This feature is known as "CAPTCHA". It is an acronym that stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". We use CAPTCHA to prevent outside automated systems from blocking your use of the website and commercially exploiting our data. We appreciate your understanding. |
