Cops Rethink Plan To Give Teen A Boner For Justice

[damnedifIknow]

Police in Virginia will not proceed with controversial plans to photograph a 17-year-old boy's genitalia as evidence in a sexting case against him.

Manassas police backed down Thursday following criticism for obtaining a search warrant to take pictures of the boy's penis. Authorities planned to compare those photos with a pornographic video the teen allegedly sent to his 15-year-old girlfriend in January.

The teen's lawyer had said officials threatened to medically induce an erection in the boy if necessary"

1. "We know you sent these dirty pictures of yourself."

And to prove it we're going to take dirty pictures of you. Not just with the big professional camera over there, but with all our cell phones too. Bob, adjust the light, make it moody will you? Now lad, give us a come hither smile. You know, a gee I sort of like you smile.

2. Good. This was a travesty on so many levels. How a judge could approve that warrant

How the cops could even think this up...

How hideously vindictive and cruel is the mom of the girl involved...

Glad they've backed down from the stupid
