It's a hunch, from watching these helicopters for years, but it seems they sometimes show up over lower-level, non-newsworthy traffic stops when nothing else is going on, which is often... The audit released by the LA controllers office last year shed some light on this, reporting "61% of flight time was devoted to lower priority calls, transportation and ceremonial flights, and scheduled patrols of specific areas."
This literally goes on every day in LA, and I still don’t know why. There’s no news about anything in these areas when I look for it
