Video may have killed the radio star, but one cop’s radio might have killed his career.
Officer Dion Anthony, accused of having sex in his patrol car.
That’s because the Memphis police officer was caught having sex in his squad car after the act was somehow inadvertently broadcast over his police radio. The department isn’t saying how that happened, but sources tell myfoxmemphis.com that there is now a recording of the incident since all police communication over the radio is recorded.
The station reports:
There’s no word yet on which microphone our sources say broadcast Officer Dion Anthony having sex in his squad car while on duty. But there is a recording because Sgt. Rudolph says every radio communication is recorded.
“Anytime you communicate via a handheld or console microphone you want to remain professional. Our job is to make sure all officers follow procedures. In this instance it‘s possible he didn’t follow proper procedure,” Rudolph said.
Anthony joined the force back in July 2007. He works the 2pm to 10pm shift out of the Mount Moriah precinct. The controversial broadcast of him having sex in his squad car went out between 8:45 and 9pm Monday night. Our sources say it was on an open channel that could be heard by not only the 30 to 35 officers working that precinct. But by anybody with a police scanner.
“The allegations do surround inappropriate communications through either his handheld or console mic,” said Rudolph.
The officer has temporarily been relieved of duty pending the result of an investigation.

General “Buck” Turgidson: Mr. President, about, uh, 35 minutes ago, General Jack Ripper, the commanding general of, uh, Burpelson Air Force Base, issued an order to the 34 B-52′s of his Wing, which were airborne at the time as part of a special exercise we were holding called Operation Drop-Kick. Now, it appears that the order called for the planes to, uh, attack their targets inside Russia. The, uh, planes are fully armed with nuclear weapons with an average load of, um, 40 megatons each. Now, the central display of Russia will indicate the position of the planes. The triangles are their primary targets; the squares are their secondary targets. The aircraft will begin penetrating Russian radar cover within, uh, 25 minutes.
Report Post »President Merkin Muffley: General Turgidson, I find this very difficult to understand. I was under the impression that I was the only one in authority to order the use of nuclear weapons.
General “Buck” Turgidson: That’s right, sir, you are the only person authorized to do so. And although I, uh, hate to judge before all the facts are in, it’s beginning to look like, uh, General Ripper exceeded his authority.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:18amWhat I see here is a suit against the police department for invasion of his privacy rights, supported by the police union and the ACLU. Of course there will be a settlement including payment for lost wages and emotional stress. Stress counselors will be standing by for the other officers. Last but not least, the Reverend Sharpton will be on the scene to claim racisim!

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 10:41amDoubtful, consider that the sex was broadcast via his radio and since police channels are public, then there can be no “invasion of privacy”. That would be like you or me making a webcam video and putting it on youtube, then trying to sue youtube for “invasion of privacy”. It doesn‘t work and it doesn’t make sense in a legal standpoint at all. It all boils down to “conduct unbecoming” if anything, so he will probably lose his job. He could have got away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids and their dog.

I have to agree. I’ve been a cop for almost 27 years and believe me, no one dislikes corrupt cops less than I do. They embarass and tarnish all of us who try to be professional. When it comes to bad cops, I have zero tolerance.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 11:41amHe had probably just radioed in to the communication center to let them know that he was taking a late lunch before the end of his shift & he inadvertently forgot to turn his microphone off in his haste to start eating. His next mistake was partaking of his lunch in his squad car rather than some other, ahem, more suitable non-taxpayer-related location. My understanding is that he was willing/able to wait until the end of his shift…she…was not.
