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?
Now. No other options. This shit has gotta stop.
Ill tell you, the Pigs have been misbehaving in this country for some time. After 9/11 they all decided to be Navy Seals. Armed with high power weapons, body armor, assault vehicles, all without the stringent selection process. I imagine the pervert in Cali was suspended with pay.
an ill wind that blows no good
This is so twisted. It bothers me greatly that they could be so despicable and twisted. What the hell is wrong with these cops? Pervs in uniform and I wonder if they'll still be out there on duty next year? I hate the thought these sickos will still be pulling women over after they get a slap on the wrist for this. Fire them.
If I understand it correctly you might get a drivers license (with limitations) as young as 15 ½, I imagine young drivers are more often stopped than others, did the stolen pictures include depictions of anyone as young?
Corrupted cops: So what if we stole some nude pictures... ...out of a cannon, into the sun.
ACLU: You'll be fired...
Corrupted cops: Fine.
ACLU:

She was definitely deprived of her privacy.
...the ACLU can only represent as many people as it can afford to represent. If you want them to champion more causes, you need to donate them more money.
I have met people that hate the ACLU for their legal battles against public schools basically requiring students to participate in religious ceremonies, and hence give them no money, and then turn around and demand that the ACLU stand up for whatever just cause they care about at the moment.

Barney Fife, played by Don Knotts. There are more than a couple of cops that would do well to be made to carry a single bullet in their shirt pocket, per Andy's policy regarding Barney and firearms.

these cops need to be taken to Guantanamo and treated as the terrorists that they are
For fucks sake, how hard is it to use the word terrorist for the individuals committing actual acts of terror rather than diluting it?
"I have downloaded hundreds and hundreds of records, why would I care if somebody downloads ours?" Robin Pecknold
terror is a subjective term open to interpretation. It's just as apt a use of the term as any other.
Why you stupid bicycle! Don't you realize that Worcestershire sauce bowling ball stud muffin?
Sheesh. Potato chips these days.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
I want my my police force - the one I fscking pay for - to have restraint, respect, and integrity for the citizen-bosses they've been privileged and entrusted to protect.
Then use some better metrics in selecting, training and above all, paying for them. When you pay a police officer just a bit more than a fast food flipper, you're not exactly going to attract the best of the best of the best.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!

My sister had a drunk altercation with her GF in Missoula MT (her own mistake, which she admits to and is working through alcoholic counseling for). The problem was the legal side spiraled out of control into a soap opera tale of good-ole-boy corruption you would only expect to see in prime time. It included collusion with the Judge, the city, and a police officer who effectively was stalking and harassing her. They slapped a restraining order on her, limiting her from visiting the house she owned, because her GF was still there, yet they wouldn't serve her any paperwork explaining the limitations of the ban, and then waited for her to appear so they could arrest her again (this is just one of numerous things they tried). Very much abuse (long sordid tale). ACLU didn't want to touch it, even though it was clear American Civil Liberties were being infringed upon because of the city's actions (through judicial and police force). She lost thousands and thousands of dollars in damages to her house and property because of the overt shenanigans of the city, but nobody cared. She doesn't have enough to afford anything beyond a public defender who isn't worth the air the breathe (would miss appointments, etc).
Long and short, the ACLU is a sham.

Again, we are subjected to incredible levels of laziness from a Slashdot Article Submitter.
Too blimmin lazy to even Google search in this day and age!!
Here, Ill do this complex and difficult task for you, since you have to ask Slashdot for help:
Q: "Where is the ACLU when you need them the most?"
A: ACLU, 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor, New York NY 10004
The question in the case of the baby + crib incident, numerous police officers shooting unarmed suspects, police shooting pet dogs, etc.. is whether or not the force used was required. This question used to be asked all the time, but today gets completely ignored..
Not that long ago if a house seemed risky for officers or the public they did not dress up like Navy Seals and Rambo up the house. They waited outside, used surveillance, and caught criminals when it was the most opportunistic and safest for EVERYONE! Today, the only people who has their safety discussed is that of the Law enforcement agents. Which is completely contrary to what a Law enforcement officer's job is supposed to be, which is "Protect and Server the Public".
Yeah, the cop _probably_ didn't intend to harm an infant but you don't know that for sure. At the same time, the officers had no requirement to bust into the house in the first place. Nobody was in eminent danger if the police department did not bust down the door.

Rape and other crimes by police officers are quite common--which is not to say that most police officers engage in them. But in a large city, there tend to be at least a few cops who are committing major crimes on a regular basis, especially against marginalized populations who they know can't effectively do anything about it.
I am aware of someone reporting such crimes in Oakland, for example, and getting threatened by law enforcement for reporting it.
Relatedly, the NY Times did a report a few years back on making complaints to local police department. The vast majority of the departments tried not to give a complaint form and to have the person talk to them instead; in at least one case the cops went through their "Do you have psychological problems?" script and placed their hands on their guns.
