Police Upskirts
Yet another unforseen-but-utterly-unsurprising consequence of the mad stampede to give more and more surveillance cameras to the oh-so-benevolent and trustworthy police:
From this news story via Rabbits Porn Blog, where it’s explained like this:
One normally assumes those candid up skirt sites are often times staged. However, it’s not so difficult to suspend one’s disbelief to enjoy some voyeuristic soft-core. Besides, pursuing the real thing might get you the reputation of a pervert, or even arrested. However, if one was one of the people normally doing the arresting, one might expect to get away with it.

Having once been “in the business,” I’ve spent a lot of time worrying about police. But I’ve since gotten to know a few –and to resent, on their behalf, sarcasm like your comment that they’re “oh-so benevolent and trustworthy.”
In fact, for the most part, they ARE benevolent and trustworthy –and they’re highly trained, too. The reason for the increasing use of video cameras is to protect the citizen from the rare bad cop, and to protect the police from the all-too-frequent bad citizen.
Resent away, Tina.
Of course there are good cops … to the extent it’s possible for anybody to be good who chooses “ordering people around at gunpoint” for their career.
Have you met any cops except when you were getting a ticket, being subjected to an investigation, or the victim of a crime?
I have. They don’t choose “ordering people around at gunpoint” for their careers. In fact they go through psychological testing to weed out that sort of people.
Most of the cops I’ve met are caring people who want to help. They risk their lives every time they go to work. When they’re involved in violence it’s almost invariably because somebody attacked them or because somebody was committing a violent crime.
Most of them spend their working hours being nervous, if not scared, that violence will be directed against them. ALL of them want, more than anything else, to go home to their families at the end of the shift.
I suggest that you attend a citizen police academy in your area. They’re fun, they’re interesting, you learn a lot about what police work is really about, and you meet a lot of very nice people who happen to be certified peace officers.
Tina, there have been cops in my family. I know the mentality well.
Too many cops *enjoy* giving orders while their hands rest on their gun butts. I find that despicable, even when they use that power to do mostly good deeds (which, is, indeed, what the “good cops” — a majority — do.)
