Newly obtained documents reveal a former Scottsdale police officer may have illegally strip searched as many as 20 Valley women during his two years on the force. [More]If he'd tried that on some of the women I know, ol' Chong Kim here would have ended up in deep kimche.
The thing about "Only Ones" stories like this that always gets to me is just the fact that they believe they operate in a culture that allows them to get away with it. That and their attitude that citizens are chattel to be used and disposed of as they see fit.
Maybe this is why:
A police spokesman said the department also investigated possible criminal charges against Kim, but determine he did not violate any state laws.Think they'd have been able to gin up some relevant statutes if one of the victims had...uh...blown this evil pig to hell?
And then there's this:
"Clearly this was an officer who was going way beyond his job description," said Ulises Ferragut, a defense attorney who has been involved in similar cases.Really? It wasn't within established department protocols? Or is Ulises here just having fun with wry understatement?
William Grigg has more.

So - Scottsdale settled with one 19 year old victim but the PD can't seem to find any criminal activity to investigate.
Nothing to see here - just move along...
Where's Sheriff Maximus Joe on this one? His jurisdiction, no?
Aren't they busy stealing docs off the defense table?
I really do believe that some day in the not too distant future there will be a bounty placed on them.
He pulled this crap on a 16 year old girl!!!! And they didn't put him on trial and once convicted make him become a registered sex offender. This is an outrage and shows that we do not have equal justice in this country. So witihout question what we have is taxation without representation.
Forgot to mention that Scottsdale settled with the young woman who was forced to disrobe to the tune of $300,000 bux of taxpayer money...
