cop w/ shady past, goes to a secluded spot for sexy time on the job. worker on cell tower filmed it

In uniform?
On the job?
at cemetery?


note... internet sleuths identified the town by the shrubbery, cemetery.

A police officer in Georgia has resigned from the force after he was caught on video engaging in a sexual act near a cemetery while on the job, authorities said.



The lawman, identified as Millen Police Officer Larry “Ben” Thompson, was seen engaged in sexual activity with a woman as his police car was parked in an open field near a cemetery, news station WRDW reported.

The footage, which was posted by TikTok user Dillon Cole, was captured from a nearby tower in Millen, a small town of about 2,800 people about an hour south of Augusta.

“Police caught on cam!!!” the user wrote along with the hashtags #towerclimbers #dirtydeeds and #police.

Someone on a telecommunications tower filmed the incident and uploaded the video to TikTok on March 19 with the caption "Police caught on cam!!!" and the hashtags #towerclimbers #dirtydeeds and #police. The video has been viewed nearly 11 million times.

--------------

Thompson had previous incidents while serving on the Millen police force. WRDW investigated Thompson's past and reported that he had shot another officer, was involved in a fatal car crash and received a two-day suspension after a woman said he was harassing her.

1. Departments need to be more selective

That's easy to say, hard to do when there's a shortage. But we need more professionals in law enforcement and we need to rule out certain personality types. I'd like to see the job pay better to attract better people, but then be able to rule out the tough guy types who want to be cops for the power.

a limited pool. they don't just hire from the streets. when you see those recruitment ads...most people won't make it through either due to past criminal history, financial past, or unable to qualify physically.

3. I'm sure that cop looked around before that, but not up.

Always look up before something like this. You just never know.

6. While that TikToker was pretty far away, I guess his horniness got the best of him.

It just goes to show that you really don't know when you're being filmed.

7. Those cell towers are pretty tall in many places. I probably wouldn't look up, either.

Besides, I think the cop was distracted and not really thinking with his big head.

On the other hand, I'm not someone who gets sexual favors outdoors or from anyone not my wife, so...I'd never be spotted in that situation.

13. Yep. It got the best of him. Also, that TokToker looked to be partly concealed by the equipment.

Then again, that cop seems quite 'cocky' (pun intended) and either didn't care or liked to be voyeured.

4. He killed a 76-year-old driver and was promoted

The resignation letter only said he was resigning and that he enjoyed his time with the city.

I'm guessing this was a police rape caught on tape. Has anyone tried to find the woman to see if it was consensual?
