Beat Cop beats meat beating beef
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A San Diego policeman who sold videos
of himself masturbating after removing a police uniform was wrongly
dismissed from the force, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Thursday.

An officer named in court documents only as John Roe sold the videos on
the Internet vendor eBay Inc., where his hobby was discovered by his
supervisor. Roe never identified himself as a San Diego police officer in his
sales pitch and gave a fictitious address in northern California.

The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Roe that
his dismissal by the San Diego Police Department in 2001 was unjust because
his off-duty actions were protected by First Amendment rights to free
speech.
