He wouldn't have if the cameras hadn't been there!!! The cameras made the coke appear in his butt.

I used to work for an episodic law enforcement show. (Im sure the theme song is in your head) You would be surprised how many of those fools, not only sign releases, but when we were called as witnesses, we were told that what was shot, was not actually what was seen. This show that I worked on has been around for a bizzilion years, but trust me, what is seen on tv, isnt necc, what was shot on location (it has been edited to what the City Atty and Cheif of Police want seen)I know of quite a few drug convictions thrown out for tampering with evidence.

LOL!

I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's the rule of law. A cop who breaks into a drug dealer's house without a warrant may find drugs, but he may not use those drugs against the drug dealer, unless the cop finds a sympathetic judge.

I started working in Amateur Photography in the 50's. I learned early, that if you want to ever sell an image, or use it in any way, you must have the person's permission.

If you watch Cops" on TV, you will see many of the faces obscured.

Butt cheeks aren't game. That is an invasion of his rights. They are his cheeks. It is cheaper to set him free, and wait to catch him again. He'd have a good case against the city and photog. He's gonna be there again. I'd bet a thousand bucks on it!

(Did you know that it has been reported, "more than 97% of hundred dollar bills have cocaine traces on them"?)

Are you sure it wasn't just some crack?

If his face was not pixilated, then the COPS production team had him sign a release. If he signed the release, then how can he complain? They only show those who sign, otherwise they pixilate their face. Most people are vain and will sign.
