Woman fears use of cell pics confiscated by cops (Axe To Grind Alert!)

The great part- her picture featured in the paper was taken in a bar.

[optiguy]

Guilty. And cold.

While this woman is obviously no saint, I would not put it past a bunch of cops to act like stupid testosterone-poisoned adolescents when they found those photos on her phone.

[cherry]

she’s a citizen....is this what we face?.....total tyranny by arrogant cops?.....are we already there?

[TigersEye]

No mention of finding some text messages that back up their accusation of vandalism. Shouldn't have taken them long to research that. Hardly necessary for CSI Miami crime lab tech either as she said.

Definitely some donut scarfers here.

[Ronin]

Sometimes it seems that way.

Cops wouldn’t do that... would they?

You can’t make this stuff up. We do indeed live in strange times.

Anyone dumb enough to keep a nude photo of oneself on a computer or cell phone should expect that somehow, at some time, the photo will be seen by someone not of one’s choosing. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

[RachelFaith]

Noooo..... Cops? Breaking the law? Covering it up and abusing their powers?

Never!

More likely one of her boy FRIENDS to whom she sent nude pictures would put them on the Internet than the cops..This women is a few sprinkles short of a cup cake..

“More likely one of her boy FRIENDS to whom she sent nude pictures would put them on the Internet than the cops..This women is a few sprinkles short of a cup cake.. “

That is irrelevant, and does not justify the cops’ behavior (if true)

[SECURE AMERICA]

Deputy Police Chief Mark Turvey said none of his officers looked at Polaski’s pictures and that

What an idiot.
Like anyone is going to believe the cops did not look at the pics.
If you have nothing intelligent to say then just shut up...

[Tainan]

Looks like she was setting close to the air conditioner vent

[meyer]

"After seizing the cell phone officers secured a search warrant..."

Shouldn't that be the other way around? How can one be considered "secure in their person and effects" when the police can seize one's personal effects without a warrant?

[Fresh Wind]

A stripper is worried about her reputation. That makes perfect sense. /s

[R. Scott]

As much as we have been warned about the dangers of sexting, people are still doing it. Once the picture is sent out the sender no longer has control of it.

[Venturer]

That’s my view. When you allow a naked picture of yourself to be taken you have to expect that some time or other someone will view it .

[maine yankee]

First they came for the strippers,

and I said nothing, etc.

[Thrownatbirth]

She could vandalize a car just by washing it.
