San Diego officer resigns after locking himself in patrol car with woman he arrested

www.sandiegouniontribune.com San Diego officer resigns after locking himself in patrol car with woman he arrested

SAN DIEGO — It was just after 1:30 a.m. when former San Diego police Officer Anthony Hair told a dispatcher he’d arrived at Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee to drop of…

The investigators also asked Hair for permission to check his uniforms for semen.

“I don’t know my rights. Do I have to?” the former officer asked. “I don’t think I want to do that.”

I plead the right to no blacklight searches!

Hey, interesting fact~~oid~~, you know who can't consent to sex? Prisoners. But 34 states allow police officers to have "consensual" sex with detainees. How/why a person in police custody would have consensual sex with their arresting officer is unfathomable.

California is not one of those 34 states. What Officer Hair did was rape.
- But 34 states allow police officers to have "consensual" sex with detainees.
  
  Look up "prisoner consent rule 34" for more info!
  
  Heh heh
- Unrelated to the main point at hand, but just a quick heads up that a factoid is something commonly believed to be true, but actually isn’t.
  
  I appreciate that! TIL
  
  So is an Asteroid just something commonly believed to be an Aster, but isn’t actually one?
- How/why a person in police custody would have consensual sex with their arresting officer is unfathomable.
  
  While I agree with the reason for the laws, the recorded audio in this case certainly show it was consensual.
  
  Ok, so she wasn't under arrest on her way to booking? Because if the sex was in exchange for freedom or leniency, then it wasn't consensual.
  
  No, there is no consent between an officer and a person in custody. That is not possible.
- She offered herself to him. This is a case of corruption, not rape.
  
  While under arrest. Even if she didn't explicitly suggest quid pro quo, it's still an unbalanced power dichotomy where true consent is impossible.
  
  That's like saying a 12 year old in foster care consented to have sex with their foster parents. All statements made by the rape victim were made under duress and do not mitigate the crime.
  
  you are tragically misinformed about what constitutes rape, and I suggest you seek help from a professional.
Ahh yes, one of the privileged professions where the punishment for murder or rape is resigning, but keeping your pension. Even keeping your career if you move one district over.
- She's neither dead nor was she raped. Maybe read more than just the headline. This is more a case of corruption.
  
  He was in a position of power, and took advantage of that said position of power. It may not be you typical alley rape but its sexual assault (ps i know nothing about laws, #notlegaladvice)
