A British police officer was acquitted of dereliction of duty despite admitting he spent 20 minutes in his office having sex with a woman he met on an Internet dating site. "But he claimed that he was always poised and ready to respond to an emergency because he had his [communications] earpiece in."
Sex on duty cop acquitted of misconduct because he was still 'wearing his earpiece' | the Daily Mail

British Transport Police Inspector Masood Khan, 41, was charged with misconduct in a public office after a 20-minute tryst in a police office with a woman he had met on an Internet dating site.
The officer, who signed up for the website using the name Michael K Plod, told jurors: "It was an absolutely wrong thing to do, morally and professionally, and I shouldn't have done that."...
"If there was a call for me I would have answered it and dealt with it,' he said. It took the jury at Southwark Crown Court only ten minutes to clear him but Khan still faces a disciplinary hearing.
The ultimate penalty is the sack.
Ummmm... maybe the Daily Mail should rephrase that last line ? I don't know ;my wife would have issues I think if I tried to wear an earpiece while having sex.
For the women reading this... would you hook up with someone on the net who calls himself Michael K Plod ?
