$35,000 for doing topless jumping jacks

I think I'd have done 5 topless jumping jacks for £35,000, waht is that in English money? Only kidding it's discusting really. People who behave in this way do not deserve to be in a position of trust. It's a sad world where people cannot be trusted with power.

Crazy! I'm glad she sued though and won, that cop was completely out of line and it's a sad world we live in when cops are able to do this and get away with it - luckily in this case, he did not and I hope he was severly reprimanded for his actions. I do want to say though that although there are alot of bad cops out there, there are also alot of good cops as well. We have friend who is a cop and he is such a great young man doing what he loves. We need more police officers like him in the world. Sadly, he just got married and his wife is a nervous wreck with him being on the street every day (and more in harms way) so he's trying to move up to detective. It's great if he gets it but he's an awesome street cop as well.

I read about this story right after it happened. I am glad she got somethining out of it. I hope he got in big trouble too. It is sad when we can't even trust the police.

I don't know if there is any kind of testing, But, even here locally, I've heard of police officers doing things they shouldn't be doing when they pull these people over. I think they not only should be sued but fired from every being a police officer again, also on websites like child molesters are just to prove a point.. It burns me up because they are supose to protect us, not humiliate us or make us do things we are uncomfortable with. It's really sad and my heart goes out to people who are victims to this...

What a shameful act! yeah policemen do many a times abuse the power. there are loads of cases.have heard that policemen have done the act of sodomy with those who were busted and kept in their custody! i've never trusted one police officer ever.

i just sure hope that the teenager really got paid by that much, or she did that for free to get out of jail?

i think the cop was wayout of line there , and oviously did this for his own pleasure.he should be tested to see if he is a possible pervert. if he wasn't fired ,he was darn lucky . i think i would have fired him .

I guess he thought what he was ok. But he crossed the line. She was topless? so i guess she sewed the police officer? Goes to show dont do anything in or at your job thats not in your job discription.

I would rather be arrested! But then again if anyone would like to offer me $35,000 for doing topless jumping jacks I'm open to offers!

It strikes me that the world is incresingly moving towards the "lowest common denominator," when it comes to behavior. It makes it kinda hard to have much confidence in law enforcement when the officers of the law resort to such nonsense. And what's worse is the number of people who engage in such behavior and then insist "I meant nothing by it!" I sometimes wonder if the reason we hear so many weird stories about the police is related to low pay (so quality people aren't attracted), or inadequate psychological evaluations for candidates.

I wonder what happened to the officer.For obvious reasons he should be reprimanded to prevent more of the same.In the movie minority report the device could scan minds for criminality and they could be taken out of the society before the crime was committed.While something like this seems utopian,some technology that could detect symptoms of criminality would help in preventing such people from being instated in positions of power.
