Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Edit : Warning, the following is supposed to be one of my badly stated jokes :
"Yes, because ~~policeman~~ policemen, of course, wouldn't do this simply out of deviant interests 😋"
One kind reader pointed out to me that, since English is not my native language, there is something in that sentence that doesn't really work ... I don't know exactly what.
Joke explained :
Since there is a potential for the policemen here to find sex videos, they have not only the normal interest of doing their job by finding evidences, but also an interest to find kinky stuff. So, I am suggesting caricatural policemen more interested in the later.Who knew that a sexual assault investigation would uncover sexual content!
Color me surprised!
I know so much this fact (the police are doing their job) that I went in this article and copy and pasted the paragraph explaining exactly that.
Then, after citing this very obvious fact, I made a simple joke which you people take seriously ? You really don't get it ?
Okay, so I am bad at making jokes, sorry about that. Well, on second thought, about 50% of reader up-voted my comment, so they understand the joke, but not you nor @FlyingSquid.
The fact that you care so much about upvotes shows you’re not only from Reddit- but that you expected the typical flood of upvotes that would come from a post so worthy of being posted there.
k
I hate cops, but who else are you supposed to report a rape to?
You're missing the joke - that they had instead found the video during regular masturbation. They didn't say anything about whether or not to report crimes to the cops
You are close but not exactly.
The joke was supposed to be that since there is a potential for the policemen here to find sex videos, they have not only the normal interest of doing their job by finding evidences, but also an interest to find kinky stuff. So I am suggesting caricatural policemen more interested in the later.
Yeah that's what I'm saying, dude.. they care more about finding weird porn than actual investigation
see my other answer.

2nd edit, for @FlyingSquid
3rd Edit :
Ok, so, this other comment was an answer to someone telling me I should know it was the police's job. ... I know so much this fact (the police are doing their job) that I went in this article and copy and pasted the paragraph explaining exactly that.

I get the feeling English isn't your native language? Your initial "joke" doesn't make a lot of sense.
For example, did you mean "a policeman" or "policemen"? Either way, it doesn't work as a sentence.
Oups ! Well, yes. English is still a bit hard for me, especially for jokes. I have a hard time getting people's jokes and it seems it goes too the other way around as well.
I don't see another answer.
