My shock at this is that the damned thing ever reached the highest echelon of our legal system.
The Supreme Court is backing a decision to fire a San Diego police officer who sold sexually explicit videotapes of himself, in and out of uniform.
The unanimous opinion reversed an appeals court ruling in favor of the officer, who claimed his free speech rights had been violated.
The officer was fired three years ago after a supervisor discovered the sex videos on eBay. The tapes showed the uniformed officer stripping off his clothes and performing a sex act.
The supervisor charged the officer with violating department policies on unbecoming conduct and ordered a halt to the video sales.
The officer complied but was fired after police officials found that his Internet profile on eBay still mentioned the striptease videos.
The officer argued that the sex videos were made while he was off-duty and that they made no mention of his employment.
Not even the libertarian side of me can find any support for this jackhole. As a silver lining for this idiot, he can now get back into the home entertainment business.
