    Man, we live in a world which probably has more immediate and ready access to nude images of any particular sort one might desire – and we’re getting to the point that computers can synthesize stuff that doesn’t even exist – and you’re committing crimes and risking your job to get a low-quality cell phone picture of a cell phone screen of an amateur nude photo?

    EDIT: And randomly checking the first guy, he’s apparently married with four kids:

    Trooper David L. McKnight, of Sikeston, Missouri, has been assigned to Zone 7, which serves the citizens of Mississippi, New Madrid and Scott counties. Trooper McKnight is a graduate of Scott County Central High School in Sikeston, Missouri. Prior to joining the Patrol, he worked as a patrol officer for the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. He is married to Natalie (Cooper) McKnight and has four children.

    Probably not going to do wonders for your marriage, either.

    Never give cops your phone, yes. Also, don’t use biometrics to lock your phone. Police can legally force you to unlock with your thumb print, they legally (and like, physically) cannot force you to reveal a passcode stored only in your brain.
