Summary

Two former Missouri police officers, Julian Alcala and David McKnight, were charged in separate federal cases for illegally searching women’s phones during traffic stops to obtain explicit images.

Alcala, formerly with Florissant police, faces 20 counts of deprivation of rights for allegedly taking nude photos and videos from phones and deleting evidence.

McKnight, an ex-Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper, faces nine similar counts.

At least 29 women’s phones were allegedly searched.

Both men resigned after investigations began. The FBI urges victims to report misconduct by officers. The cases are unconnected.

Probably every woman above 18 has some nudes of themselves on their phone

Are you a woman? Not asking for any accusatory reasons or anything, I'm just curious about why you'd say that - if you're a girl with lots of friends with nude photos, a guy who's received a lot of photos, just a guy assuming, etc. Again, not asking to attack, even if you're just assuming. I don't have any nudes on mine, and I've had talks about this with a few friends and they were all "helllll NO" to the idea as well.

Edit: Though I do have some wicked sexy pictures of my bare legs. They are covered with horrible lumps called erythema nodosum, though, so probably no one would be looking for that lol

No I'm not so i can't speak for them in general, but I would say a good number of my closest friends are women, both straight and lesbian, and I've had my fair share of serious girlfriends and flings. In terms of girlfriends and flings I've received quite a few and in terms of my friends I know they've taken them for a variety of reasons, including for their significant others

In my experience it's not that rare for women to have sexy or nude pics on their phone. They like sex and feeling sexy just as much as guys do

Again i only know from my experience and friendships and relationships
