So tell me again why they didn’t do that to Bill Clinton?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Is this really a good use of law enforcement resources? Not to defend this sexting trend among kids, but, are we going to label this kid doing something stupid as a sexual predator?

[Mouton]

The judge who signed that warrant should be shot.

[I want the USA back]

That is an illegal action. It involves coercion to produce child porn. Indisputable. Jail for the judge and cops.
I am not kidding.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Sounds more like the Gestapo.

“The Bent One”

[piytar]

Well said and I agree.

[Delta 21]

I would hope so.

Not at all what I was thinking I was gonna read about.

[Mouton]

We have slowly slipped into police state mentality here. When they started with the alcohol/drug vehicle stops, I knew it was the end. The electronic collections done by NSA are worse, notice how they are used to “reverse” monitor a subject.

[Delta 21]

If the State governor doesn’t intervene the Feds will.
And I mean quick. This is FUBAR !

[Delta 21]

THIS is what I am saying.....

[caww]

The incident was in 2014

Police never obtained the pictures they demanded under court order from Sims was that there was a massive public outcry after news reports emerged about the case in 2014, and the police let the search warrant expire.

“Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!”
“Can’t find it, your honor.”
“Think dirty thoughts, kid!”
“Screw you, judge!”
“You’d better show me some respect, kid. I had to kiss a lot of ass to get this job!”

There’s a happy side to this story =>

He was being investigated for suspected involvement with a 13 year old boy for 2 years. Good riddance to a dirty cop.

[null and void]

The wheels of justice grind slow, but they grind exceeding fine...

[Manuel OKelley]

Yep, occasionally there is really is a happy ending.

[DesertRhino]

Manassas police detective David Abbott sounds like a pedophile if you ask me. That SOB needs serious looking into. Also the judge who signed the warrant.

[rednesss]

[DesertRhino]

Whoa... well that answered my suspicions. Now for the judge. He needs looking into.
