Film at 11:00 ! * * * > [@](#): > > From the story > > The officer told them they could be arrested on trespassing and **lewdness** charges and asked them to suggest an alternative punishment, adding that the girl’s punishment should be “embarrassing,” the police report said. So… you’re about to be arrested for lewdness. Disrobe and jump up and down. ---

Scumbag. I wonder if the police department is in for any lawsuits. ---

Apparently, some police departments are using “The Bad Lieutenant” as a recruiting video! ---

\ Yup, looks like Ossifer Cletus done found his self some fun back in da buy-you, huh? Squeal like a pig, now, y’all. \ This guy could have “scared” the kids by actually taking them to the station and letting the duty officer decide whether to charge them, call their parents downtown for a little talk, etc. So, in his Jethro-like idiocy, he ends up losing his job and opens the department up for a very juicy lawsuit. Yeah, makes ME want to move to Pensacola.
