© Screen grab from COPS
Tonawanda, NY — Over the years, TFTP has reported on utterly asinine requests for special privilege for law enforcement. We've seen departments
exempt themselves from sex with prostitutes so they could turn around and arrest prostitutes as well as dozens of states that allowed cops
to have sex with people in their custody.
Now, a town in New York is taking this ridiculousness to the extreme by proposing legislation to allow officers to receive 'sexual gratuities' while on duty. Seriously.As if figuratively licking the boots of an authoritarian state wasn't good enough, citizens of Tonawanda, New York are pushing the Town Board to change its policies to allow cops to receive literal sexual favors from worshipful citizens.
When this report came across our radar, we originally thought it was satire. However, the
Buffalo Chronicle is
not The Onion and according to report, this is actually happening.
The push to allow citizens to "tip" cops with sexual favors comes amid sexual misconduct allegations against a popular career police officer, Brett Rider, 46.
According to the
Chronicle, the Town of Tonawanda is planning to discuss the possible termination of Rider, a veteran public safety dispatcher, after an internal investigation found he committed misconduct on the job. On Monday, the Town Board passed a resolution to let the town supervisor or police chief to discipline dispatcher Brett Rider.
The Board would not explain what Rider is accused of doing, but it is widely rumored that Rider is accused of having sexual intercourse with a married woman, age 56, while on duty. The department also stepped up sexual harassment training after the allegations.
Comment: The unjustified encroachment of the authorities into our lives is increasing by the day and it's no wonder that people around the planet are beginning to speak out:
