Warrant: CHP officer says stealing nude photos from female arrestees 'game' for cops

MARTINEZ -- The California Highway Patrol officer accused of stealing nude photos from a DUI suspect's phone told investigators that he and his fellow officers have been trading such images for years, in a practice that stretches from its Los Angeles office to his own Dublin station, according to court documents obtained by this newspaper Friday.

Cutting and pasting and entire article gets BARF in trouble. Please don't do that in the future.

I also moved the thread to the proper forum. Leaving it in the LEO Forum looks too much like baiting, and I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to you instead.

By what I've read, this could grow into a massive deal, or be crushed immediately and put citizens on a bigger watch of what the cops do.

It is true. And yes it is disgusting as well. The CHP officer at the center of this shitstorm will lose his job. Unsure if criminal charges will be brought against him or not.

back in the day when I was in college a friend had a really smoking hot sister.

she would get her ass pinched and grouped just walking about.

she got pulled over several times by CHP and the officers had the balls to ask her for her phone number.

I hate when the CHP sullies its brand. I tend to respect them the most in this state as having consistent standards and discipline unlike variable municipal and county agencies.

There are many great CHP officers. However, CHP officers are much less accountable than local police officers for the most part. The process of filing a complaint against the CHP is cumbersome and slow, compared to an internal affairs complaint with a major California police department. It's also very hard to get a regional commander to give you a call back. This can help CHP officers feel as though they are less accountable.
We just witnessed a CHP officer striking a woman in the head on a socal freeway and now this.
A friend's mother was pulled over for speeding in Madera County a few years ago, and the CHP officer apparently thought that it was OK to take her license and go to another call while telling her to remain at the scene. Really? Leave a woman stranded on a dark rural road? It took a long time, and I mean a long time, for this officer to be disciplined for this. In the end, he got a 1-month suspension, largely because unbeknownst to this officer, the woman's son was a local deputy who raised holy hell about what happened.
So yes, I can see this kind of crap happening. CHP is shitting on itself lately.

Groveland, where's that?
You can call the office and request the form to file a complaint or you can go online and file a complaint.

The Sgt will call you back, the regional commander won't call you back. The CHP is a para-military organization and that would be like having the 5 star call you back because a private fucked up.

Also, we don't have regional commanders, they're Captains for LT, or a Division Chief.

As for the friends mother, and her statement, there's always to sides to the story.

Finally, the CHP is extremely disappointed in the actions of those 3 officers, and I can tell you that I've never heard of, or seen, anyone doing this. We, senior officers, do not support or condone any of these Officers actions.

Probably has a lot to do with the size of the CHP, you're essentially filing a complaint against California.

There will be bad apples in every bunch. This never excuses behavior but officers are human too. I can't stress this enough. People seem to think they are not. What we hear and what we see is only the bad. The countless times CHP and other officers have helped someone barely go noticed because it does not make the news.

My recent "run-in" with Mountain View PD was a pleasant one. We talked for a few minutes and the officer was awesome. Said the truck looked great. Moto LEO as well. Just a warning for the window tint, which has been removed.
