    NM officer having sex on car hood won't be charged

    SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — He's in uniform and apparently on duty. But New Mexico State Police said the officer caught on camera having sex with a woman on the hood of a car did not commit a crime.

    Security camera photographs of the encounter at the remote county-owned Canyon Ranch near Santa Fe, N.M., surfaced several weeks ago. The images were initially sent to state police by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department and an internal investigation was started.

    State police spokesman Tim Johnson said the investigation has been completed and the case is currently in the disciplinary process. He said investigators don't believe any criminal acts occurred but that the officer will be held accountable for his actions.

    "The New Mexico State Police is very embarrassed by this incident and will work tirelessly to restore our good name and earn the trust of the citizens back," he said in a statement sent Thursday to The Associated Press.

    "This officer made a horrible personal decision that will obviously reflect poorly on the whole organization."

    Johnson declined to release the name of the officer, but KQRE-TV reported (http://bit.ly/qOPJ6t ) he is an eight-year veteran of the department who's currently on administrative leave. The Albuquerque television station also reported he was state police officer of the year in the Santa Fe district in 2010.

    Johnson declined to provide any details about the officer, including his past accolades or whether he is married.

    The department has also refused to release the identity of the woman in the video and details about her relationship with the officer.

    While the case is a black eye for the department, Johnson said he wanted the public to remember that hundreds of state police officers go to work "every single day and make sound decisions to protect and serve their communities."

      Sadly, some cops out there commit more crimes than criminals. Just watch the cable documentaries on it.

      8 years of "service" hmmmm do believe he had plenty of "experience" servicing errrr. "serving" the public. People, this should make you wonder how many "others" were "served" by this man and how many other police "serve" in the same manner. Because you can bet your "a.s.s" this was not the first time nor the only time it takes place across the board! Corruption is rampant, law enforcement officials "protect and serve" their own burying 99% of "service" incidents whether it is police, lawyers, prosecuters, or judges. If you don't consider the truth in this statement, then you should INVESTIGATE for yourself as I have done. Not making an uninformed statement, here, folks.

      And now people are having sex. What's this world coming to. When people start having sex - that's when it's time to throw in the towel. The end of the world is near.

      Well is it legal to have sex in public? Not charged well I guess its legal. So everyone should be allow to do it. I cant drink in public anywhere but i could have have sex, ok. Him and his bosses should be demoted charged and fined that is justice. But those parties and state don't believe in justice. So sad so sad.

      Two things. One, I want to see this video, because eventually it will be sold and I'll have to pay if I want to watch. Two, are any of you surprised? Not all cops are bad, but there are a lot of bad ones out there. Ask Jose Guerena from TX.

      Ah, but anyone else would have been charged with public indecency.

      He should just say I'm SORRY! Just like politicians and we should forgive him? He was was doing his job! Just got caught with his pants down, and his wiener up! Right Senator Wiener.

      it's not a crime to misuse public property (including the gas) to get to that remote area? In most states, the state police are considered to be the lords of the land, they do what they want.

      Police department is corrupted ! they are above the laws, laws are for just poors and powerless.... not for police officer, politicians and rich...

      The State of New Mexico has just legitimized bizarre sexual behavior.
    • Kerry  •  8 mths ago
      I guess some things happen in the SPERM of the moment! I think I spelled that wrong? :-D
    • DRight  •  8 mths ago
      So did the woman still have to pay the fine for speeding? Or was she simply driving with the top down?

      what a bunch of uptight ninnies..you are all guessing about the whole thing..there is no info on his willing partner in bad taste...maybe it was his girl friend or even his wife and they where getting a nooner. had to have been a quickee. to bad they chose that particular place to do the deed. and as for demanding that our law enforcement officers be saints , believe me they are not. I dated a dispatcher for years . in ca. law inforcement officers have a very high divorce rate..(they seem to love waitress's) I only met one who did not cheat on his wife...I know because I was at parties with my boyfriend..Ive seen police, sheriff and highway patrol men..having a good old time. and I know for a fact some off them do so even in uniform...hm wonder who brought this to the attention of his department. I could certainly tell some tales if I was inclined. humans are as over sexed as rabbits and Im never surprised at the trouble we get ourselves into because of it. his life should not be ruined over something im sure many others have done...they just did not get caught.

      Me thinks this cop has never seen the show "Cops".. There is cameras everywhere and likely on his car.. Though--you wanna get freaky on the hood of a car do it on off hours.. We're not paying for cops to knock boots. o.O

      "This is how we do it" M.J song is popping in my head at this moment.
