Texas Policeman Caught Taking, Sharing Photo Of Woman's Backside In Viral Video

The Houston Police Department (HDP) is investigating a report after one of its officers was recorded while taking a photo of a woman's backside at a Drake concert Tuesday.

A video footage of the officer taking a photo of the woman on the floor of the concert using his phone has gone viral, with over 10,000 retweets and 24,000 likes so far. In a second video, the officer appears to be sharing the photo with someone.

The department posted a pair of tweets Wednesday saying no formal complaint had been filed however, it would look into the incident.

“We are aware of a video that shows actions of one of our officers at a concert last evening. Although HPD has not received a formal complaint, we have launched an internal investigation,” the department tweeted.

“The actions depicted on the video are not consistent with the expectations we have for our personnel. Upon completion of the investigation, the department will take any and all corrective action,” it said.

HPD Chief Acevedo responded to the incident by saying, “We get paid to be at these events to make sure that things are safe, no threats and keep the peace. Obviously that is not the conduct we are looking for and whether he is being paid by the tax payer or the venue that is not what he is there for.”

“There will be an internal investigation and we will see what he has to about what he was doing and why he was doing it. We want our officers alert. We want them focusing on the mission and we want them focusing on safety,” he added, local daily Click 2 Houston reported.

In an unrelated incident, a female police officer was sacked for showing an explicit image on her mobile phone to several officers at Goole Police Station, East Yorkshire, in 2016.

P.C. Katie Jackson reportedly showed photos of a detective's penis to her boss. A misconduct hearing at Goole Magistrates' Court in June this year heard that she was told by her boss to not “blow it out of proportion” and not to share the photo with anyone else.

Det Sgt John Burrell of Humberside Police said she and the officer who sent her the photo were flirting and the photo was subsequently sent.

"Kate came to me saying that she had been sent this picture. I did not look at the picture and had no desire to see it. In the ten minutes we spoke together I told her specifically and categorically not to show this to anyone else. I told her the legal and social implications this would have on her if she showed more people,” he said, Daily Mail reported.
