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?

I'm a woman. A real woman. I was born with my vagina, uterus and ovaries. I'm not one of those social justice freaks who was born with a penis, scrotum and testes but is somehow considered a "woman".

Bullshit, you're a dude.

Let's cut the crap, son.

The only time the term "son" is used is when referring to someone's male offspring, which you were not. The other instance is when one male is attempting to assert dominance over another male, by referring to the other as "son". I have never, EVER heard a female use this term in the second fashion described. It just isn't done. Son.

Yeah, paramilitary groups getting police to back down only works if you involve rich white ranchers.

What the hell is wrong with these cops?

Some people become cops because of the power trip it gives. This is perfectly in-line with that personality type. The real tragedy is that it's likely very little (if anything) will be done to the officers perpetrating the acts, which will only feed into the power trip.
