CHP Officers Steal, Forward Nude Pictures From Arrestee Smartphones

sabri writes: Following the initial suspension of a California Highway Patrol officer earlier this week, news has come out that the CHP has an entire ring of officers who steal and subsequently share nude pictures. The nudes are stolen from women who are arrested or stopped. Officer Sean Harrington of Martinez reportedly confessed to stealing explicit photos from the suspect's phone, and said he forwarded those images to at least two other CHP officers. Where is the ACLU when you need them the most?

    Alternative would be gay or female cops (which would steal photos of nude men). Totally asexual cops will be hard to find, unless they are hiring children as cops.

    ...Or how about ROBOCOPS ?

    Then we could bust them for ogling pictures of electric can openers and for "vibrating while on duty."

    Corrupted cops: So what if we stole some nude pictures...
    ACLU: You'll be fired...
    Corrupted cops: Fine.
    ACLU: ...out of a cannon, into the sun.

    Unfortunately I have, and each time I get reminded of this appalling practice I take a deep breath of relief in the knowledge that I am not a US resident.
