Kansas Cops Can No Longer Have Sex With Perps, Which They Could Somehow Do Until Now?

Dent7 years ago

Along with designated driver drunk wranglers and being one of those dudes on the side of the road spinning cash-4-gold signs, policer officers have one of the toughest jobs on the planet. The danger coupled with constant scrutiny from media makes it all the more difficult to uphold the mantra of “protect and serve.”

But just when you thought it couldn’t get any harder for cops to properly do their jobs, it appears lawmakers in Kansas want to lather on one more layer of red tape. It’s now somehow illegal to have sex on the job with people you encounter through the line of duty?

From The Wichita Eagle:

A new Kansas law makes it a crime for police to have sex with people they pull over for traffic violations or detain in criminal investigations.

The new law bans sexual relations “during the course of a traffic stop, a custodial interrogation, an interview in connection with an investigation, or while the law enforcement officer has such person detained.”

Now, you may be asking, wasn’t that illegal already?

Actually, it wasn’t.

Kansas was one of 33 states where consensual sex between police and people in their custody wasn’t a crime.

Everybody knows there are only two major perks to being a police officer: getting to tase people who are dickheads and getting to have sex during traffic stops. But now these fascist lawmakers want to take one of those away?

Curse the day when I watch Super Troopers for the first time with my son and he sees something wrong with the pretty German woman using sex to get out of a predicament.

“Daddy, that’s illegal. You can’t shag your way out of consequences,” my seven-year-old will say.

“It was a different time back then…” I will respond with a sigh while sipping on a can of lukewarm light beer to reminisce on simpler times.

This seems to be one of those rules that should already be assumed, but since everyone thinks they’re so slick nowadays we have to get it in writing just to be sure. A lack of rules leaves shit up to interpretation. It’s like when you don’t tell your parents that you’re dropping out of school to become an “entrepreneur.” They aren’t allowed to get mad because they never told you not to.

There are still 32 states where cops having sex on the job isn’t a crime, if you were curious or looking to relocate.

RIP to all the great consensual traffic sex that was being had, and good riddance to any sketchy practices from cops who were abusing their power to take advantage of this loophole..
