Aww, how nice. A couple cops not indicted for shooting people (with their guns, that is).

On Tuesday, 39-year-old former Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper David McKnight was indicted by a grand jury in U.S. District Court, a press release states. McKnight, who resigned from the force in August, is accused of taking cell phones from nine different women and, upon finding nude or sexually explicit pictures, taking pictures of them with his own phone. McKnight allegedly told the women that he needed their phones to confirm they had insurance or to verify their identity. Eventually, he deleted those pictures from his phone, the press release claims, citing the indictment. The offenses are alleged to have taken place between September 1, 2023 and Aug. 19, 2024.

On Thursday, another former police officer, 29-year-old Julian Alcala, who previously worked for the Missouri city of Florissant, was accused of doing very much the same thing. Another federal press release accuses Alcala of searching the phones of 20 different women. Like McKnight, authorities claim Alcala would take pictures of nude photographs he found on the women’s phones.

Reason number 1184 why I don't keep nude photos on my phone. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Are these dudes so stupid that they don't know that actual regular, quality (not a photo of a photo on another phone), all over the internet?

Like, the internet has got to be at least 75% pornography, 24% Spam, 1% everyone else's stuff.

That's the non-cat content.

It's not about the availability and quality of online porn. It's about enjoying power and control over women.

We need to educate women that you don't just hand over your unlocked phone to police.

"Naked pussy" falls under porn.

Oh I know. Its just really kind of sad. Like, even with that mindset, there are plenty pf way better ways to find content around thet concept online. I suppose its "different" if its scripted and/or "secretly consentual."

We need to educate ~~women~~ EVERYONE that you don't just hand over your unlocked phone to police.

I feel like we could also be equal opportunity on this concept for a variety of reasons actually.

FWIW, I don't use things like face recognition unlock either. I know its a fake TV show, but it really felt reassuring watching how many times on The Rookie, they just hold a phone up to someone in custody's face to unlock it.

Well yes, but...In general, male cops are not looking at men's phones to take snapshots of their naked selfies on them. I also imagine in general that police are not requesting to look at the phones of men they've stopped because of a broken headlight.

I wish google had a command like OK google shutdown or OK google restart to force a password entry.

They need a duress face. If you have one eye closed, require a passcode.

My phone usually acts like I'm a complete stranger, anyway.
