LAPD officer allegedly caught fondling corpse

[+ Keith30309]

Just your average, everyday necrophilia story... but there’s a couple of things that caught my eye.

The most noteworthy: he was charged with a felony violation of state safety codes, which prohibit "having sexual contact with human remains without authority,"

 

Which begs the question about the process by which you obtain authority to have sex with a corpse.

Is there a form for this ?

Online application?

Do you have to be nominated ?

 

 

 

(CNN) An officer with the Los Angeles Police Department is under investigation after his body camera allegedly caught him fondling the body of a dead woman.

The officer and his partner were responding to a call about a possible dead body in a residential unit, sources told the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the incident.

The officers determined the woman was dead, and while one officer went to get something from the patrol car, the accused officer turned off his body-worn camera and allegedly fondled the deceased woman's breasts, LAPD officials told the LA Times.

Though the camera was turned off before the incident, it was captured by the two-minute buffer on the device, the newspaper reported.

"The department is aware of the incident and an internal investigation has been launched," LAPD officer Jeff Lee said, adding that he cannot comment further on pending personnel matters.

LAPD Assistant Chief Robert Arcos told the LA Times the recording was "very disturbing."

A source familiar with the investigation said the incident happened a few weeks ago but was found in a random check of body camera footage. He called the incident "way beyond the pale" and "unacceptable" and said coworkers of the accused in LAPD's Central Division are furious.

The case has not been referred to the district attorney's office since it is still under investigation. The newspaper reported that the officer, whose name was not released, was placed on leave.

"If this allegation is true, then the behavior exhibited by this officer is not only wrong, but extremely disturbing, and does not align with the values we, as police officers, hold dear and these values include respect and reverence for the deceased," the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union representing the officer, said in a statement. "This behavior has no place in law enforcement."

The union said it will not represent the officer involved in the event criminal charges are filed.

"We will absolutely not defend this individual in any criminal proceeding," Craig Lally, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said.

 

Lally apologized to the family of the victim, saying "We want family to know that this alleged behavior is repugnant, reprehensible and indefensible. We are sorry for the pain this has caused you."

Is there a form for this ?...

Yes, Form I-3663-43 is completed, in sextupulet. The original, blue, pink, goldenrod, and buff copies are submitted and the salmon copy is retained for one's own records.

...Online application?...

Of course not! How can the form be completed in sextupulet if it is online?

...Do you have to be nominated ?...

Not required, but yes, one may be nominated. Similar process, but a U-3663-43 is filed instead of a I-3663-43.

Insert stiffy joke here.

I have the feeling the law is written that way to allow pathologists to examine sex organs when necessary as part of an autopsy, for example, when it's suspected a murder victim was raped. But it does look weird.

I was thinking the same thing. Plus, it might be a law that was written back in the day when things were written like that.
