The "white women" thread

Mikey · Oct 26, 2014

I noticed that some posts in the Random Conversation thread mentioned that women were feeling left out of discussions and the site focus felt too heavily focused on racism. I decided to create this thread - which should become a sticky to talk about things that pertain to white women generally, not on just on here. I would start off this thread by mentioning about how police corruption affects women differently than men.

A California Highway Patrol officer has been accused of stealing nude photographs of a woman he pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence, and investigators recommend filing criminal charges against him.

Court documents obtained by the Contra Costa Times show that investigators have learned Sean Harrington, a 35-year-old CHP officer and five-year veteran of the force, illegally forwarded various nude photographs to himself after gaining access to the young woman’s phone. The investigator for the Contra Costa District Attorney is recommending that they bring felony computer theft charges against Harrington.

“While a record of the forwarded photos was deleted from the woman's Apple iPhone,” the Times wrote, “her iPad, which was synced to her phone via the iCloud service, revealed that the explicit photos in her ‘photos’ app were forwarded to an unknown phone number in the 707 area code while she was in police custody. The woman researched the number and learned it belonged to her arresting officer, according to the court records.”

Harrington is currently on desk duty while the investigation unfolds. Meanwhile, the accusations against the officer have resulted in dropped charges against the woman for the DUI.

"We think it's a horrendous breach of the public trust," Rick Madsen, the woman’s attorney, said to the Times. "We believe Officer Harrington committed a clandestine and illegal intrusion into her privacy which is unspeakable considering his sworn duty to protect the public. My client remains understandably distraught as we await further information about who else may possess the photos and what further investigation may uncover."

Madsen added that more than one search warrant has been served in the case, meaning there could have been multiple officers involved.

Harrington’s alleged actions are also being scrutinized harshly since the Supreme Court ruled in June that police are not allowed to search individual cell phones without first obtaining a warrant. Even if Harrington had asked for the password simply to retrieve the phone number the woman wanted, he would not be allowed to look through other programs or folders on the device.
