Talk about bad cop, no donut! CHP officer accused of stealing nude photos from DUI suspect.
MARTINEZ, Calif. -- Bay Area CHP Officer Sean Harrington is accused of stealing nude cellphone pictures from a DUI suspect's phone while she was being booked into the county jail in Martinez. There is now evidence that other officers may have been involved and that possible criminal charges may be filed.
"She's tremendously distraught," said Rick Madsen, the attorney for the young woman pulled over by Harrington. He claims his client has been traumatized by this invasion of her privacy.
"We don't know at this point, although we're gratified by the extent of the investigation by the Contra Costa District Attorney's office, the extent to which they've been transmitted, either to other individuals, perhaps other law enforcement officers," said Madsen.

This needs some serious jail time.
