Cops share nude pictures of domestic abuse victim

[0ddity]

SANTA FE, N.M. --
A woman said nude photos of her were circulated around the Santa Fe Police Department for their own sexual gratification.

The pictures were taken from her home four years ago, but she's still waiting for answers and a complete investigation.

"All she was was a domestic violence victim who called 911 and look what happened," said attorney John Day.

Day is a Santa Fe attorney who represents the woman at the center of the nude photos.

"This was a 28-year-old woman was being beaten up by her husband after she found child pornography on his computer," Day said.

"When the police came, they wound up seizing his computer they also took a bunch of photographs from her house that showed her naked," Day said.

Day said time went by, before his client found out the nude photos of her were being passed around the Santa Fe Police Department.

"We understand they were shown around to a number of people in the department and some of those people got disgusted with this perverted and unprofessional behavior and they reported it up the chain of command," Day said.

In 2008, Day filed a tort claim against the city. His client could end up suing. Day said they are currently waiting on an internal affairs investigation to wrap up.

"They have an obligation to do a complete through professional investigation about what happened," Day said.

Day said while he and his client wait for answers, they also want to make sure nothing like this happens again.

The Santa Fe police chief said he can't comment on the case since this is a personnel matter and it's under investigation by internal affairs.

Aaahh the Police. Nothing suprises me....murder rape theft extortion drug dealing, cops do the lot. The above is a particularily sordid episode. I view the police as a necessary evil, the question is, "How do we keep the force clean and safe."

Of course women are not scared or intimidated by their own bodies. But men and women have entirely different attitudes towards nudity. First of all men do not worry about showing their penis to other men because in the bathroom they just whip it out and piss in front of the other lined up men. Secondly, they laugh, tell jokes with eachother,and bid eachother farewell etc. plus they lose absolutely no credibility for showing their member pissing while meeting strangers in the john.
Now when a young lady who is starting out her sdulthood comes out and poses nude. She could of course because of her slender fit body make alot of money. However, most women today have alot more opportunities and potential to do many different things. They can become career women, hold a job, become an executive, travel the world and meet interesting people. To pose nude is like placing a naive trap door right next to you. Your just chisling out possibilities and if enough authorities get to those pictures it is a way of losing all hopes of credibilityfor even developing a decent resume.
Today the trump cards are turned over by criminals and just like diseases that just keep showing up after we step up and find cures for some of them crime changes and they make up their own rules. For them the best thing to do is figure out crimes where their victims get the worst of the ordeal whether the criminal is caught or NOT caught. That is how BAD it is getting and the movies you see sadly enough could probably just be giving us hints to what is really going on. NOT every freak-accident, murder, theft, and rape goes into the newspapers either. They DO NOT get it ALL.

Mentally women and men have great potential equally but we are the physically weaker sex and whenever we are given extra attention for being who we are the opposite gender can take it badly especially if it goes against his interests for someone else, professionally or personally too.People in general are selfish and call it survival skills. Hell they don't know you. Why care?

Men who cannot go beyond the pornography to take a lawsuit or process a legal complaint ARE PLAYING OUT THEIR MALE CHAUVENISTIC BEHAVIOR because after they say," ney" at the work place they go home to their personal home office and turn on their computers with every kind of pornography you can think of and tell their wives and children, This area and this computer is off limits. Meanwhile, the wife closes the door while he has a screen that takes up a whole wall showing nothing but tits from every female race you could think of! (Did I say who?No.)


Thank you.
