    Seriously, call the precinct now. Not acceptable.

    You'd have to be out of your mind to take a photo of someone for evidentiary purposes with your own phone.

    Just my opinion.

    This one time I saw a TV show where a guy playing a cop said "Don't do that". So that's what I go by :blart:

    ;)

    If you have that experience you know very well no judge would allow her cell phone, or any social media to be brought into the case. It would be blocked on relevance issues. That is a something I would expect from a person trying to scare someone from making a complaint.

    Still shouldn't be done with a personal phone. Now some dudes phone with who knows what apps or malware on it could be interacting with department software?

    It's call the truth in civil deposition and the state's attorney's will destroy her credibility using it because it has everything to do with relevance. Your entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.

    Your experience and facts may be true in your area but not mine. We all know how "consistent" the court system is across this country, or even Judge to Judge.

    I think you're trying to find a problem that isn't quite there. Assuming "some dude" is the officer, chances of him already "interacting" with Dept network is probably pretty high. Besides, if we're discussing this particular incident, he emails the photo to his work email and then uploads it to the appropriate software/program....not nearly as risky as you might think.

    But it's just easier for some (not necessarily you CV) to engage in rants against LE....a lot of us get that.

    I am glad it did not go this direction because scabby lawyer shit like that would get me going full on FTP. And if you look at most threads you will see that I am one of the guys that support the cops... I do think all of the guys around here wear cameras though so unless his camera had an issue it would not have gotten to that point. Although I doubt that strategy would be successful. Both of my kids have been schooled in the evils of social media and keep their stuff pretty squeaky clean.

    And I have no idea if it was a personal phone. For all I know it was a Dept. issued phone. Sorry if I inferred that it was not. This was just something that seemed out of the ordinary so I wanted opinions before I had to go to the police station to talk to someone. 99.9% of cops are good. I was just concerned I may be dealing with one of the 0.1%.

    Its perfectly reasonable to show concern as you did.

    You had some facts but not all and you still acted rationally, even as a concerned father.

    We are happy to help folks like you. It sounded suspicious to me, too. Im glad you posted their reasoning. Each agency has ways to identify people at a traffic stop. Thats a new method to me and something i wouldnt consider, ever.

    Agreed. My issue was the thought of it being a personal device. Using a personal device for government info should not happen,

    Glad to hear there is a good reason. If she was the victim of identity theft she would be glad there was a picture of not her when they come with the bench warrant. So actually a decent policy.

    Happy to here there is not a chester the molester with a badge out there. Now about those pictures of her (just kidding I am old enough she could be my daughter also :beer:)
