The police intend to commit child abuse. There's no other way to put it. (Besides the sexist application of a misguided law)

  I think what the parties involved intend to do is garner votes, fluff their career, or "just follow orders". What those parties are ignoring, either willfully or otherwise, is that they have to commit child abuse in order to achieve those goals. (And, sure, there are probably a few pedophiles in the chain that are looking forward to the implementation of the Assistant Attorney's wishes.)

    Manassas is in northern VA, not that far from DC. It's not exactly a bastion of puritanical fundamentalism or anything. I really shudder to think that this kind of behavior is the sort of thing that would bolster your career there. If there are people there who are ready to vote for officials because they pull shit like this, then I have lost all hope for humanity.

    While I agree with almost your entire line of thought, your () makes me facepalm. Wanting to see a 17 year old naked does not make one a pedophile. In this case it's definitely wrong, a misuse of power, and breaks the law. However, he is definitely not a prepubescent child.
