Means "Who Polices the Police?"

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Trooper allegedly told pair to take off clothes

A judge in Rolling Meadows set Dozier's bond at $50,000. Dozier bonded out later in the day, said Marcy Jensen, a spokeswoman with the Cook County state's attorney's office.

Dozier, driving an unmarked squad car, came upon the couple while their car was parked along Interstate 94 near Northbrook about 1:30 a.m. Thursday, prosecutors said.

Dozier gave the 22-year-old man and 18-year-old woman a Breathalyzer test, prosecutors said.

Dozier told the woman she had failed the test and then asked her what he should do, Jensen said. The woman suggested Dozier write a ticket. But Dozier allegedly said he didn't want to put her "in the system."

Dozier then ordered the couple to strip down to their underwear, which they did, Jensen said. At some point, Dozier stepped back, and the couple were able to jump into their car and get away, Jensen said.

You know, it seems like half of these cop abuse stories I find have some sort of pervy sexual component. I've been wondering what that's all about, but then I remembered that interview with the former Seattle chief of police and his remarks about law enforcement's machismo culture. Apparently, wanton violence isn't the only manifestation of police culture's pulsating masculinity.
