“There are other instances where officers will approach someone who’s at a urinal, the officer will touch himself or will just peer at the person, and if the person — who is there just trying to pee — responds in any way, that person is then arrested or at least charged with lewdness,” Trujillo said in his video.

This is quite literally committing the crime of public lewdness in order to justify arresting people for it. Every person arrested should tell the judge that they want to press charges against the arresting officer for public lewdness.

It's like Grindr to find other men but location based on a map.

"it's a map of dick" is the tagline I think

I can't tell if you're being serious

Definitely serious!

It is described in the article as a “cruising” app.

“Cruising” is a term usually referring to anonymous gay men hooking up.

I'm serious. It's NSFW if you Google it.

Having police in public transit makes it less safe not more safe and this is why

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure would be awful if somebody fired up a bunch of phone emulators with that app and spoofed the GPS readings to send the cops on a wild gays chase.

Just. Awful.

And of course while they're wasting their time baiting non-violent people they don't like into bullshit arrests, actual violent people are assaulting and groping people on trains and not being caught by these stupid lazy cowards, but you better believe they'll use stories about those assaults to ask lawmakers for even more money for this stupid fucking bullshit
