Arundel officer charged with sex offense
Rookie accused of photographing teen's breasts

<...>

A rookie Anne Arundel County police officer has been charged with taking
a cell phone picture of himself groping a teenager during a traffic stop,
after threatening to jail her for drunken driving if she didn't cooperate.

Officer Joseph F. Mosmiller, 22, is accused of telling the 18-year-old
and her female passenger to lift their shirts in the parking lot of a
Pasadena church just before midnight Jan. 20, according to documents
filed Tuesday in District Court. When the friend refused, the documents
say, Mosmiller took the photo and then let the women go.

<...>

Mosmiller, who was hired in May and given a commendation for foiling a
robbery in December, can return to work on desk duty, as can three other
officers who were implicated in the incident, said Lt. David Waltemeyer,
a county police spokesman.

<...>

There, he administered several field sobriety tests, then told the driver
that she and her passenger would avoid jail if they showed him their
breasts, the documents said. The passenger declined, but the driver
exposed herself because she feared she "was not free to leave" until she
did so, the charging documents said.

The officer told her that was not good enough, the documents said. He is
accused of then placing his hand on her exposed breast and taking a
photograph, using the camera on his cellular telephone.

Mosmiller did not file a report of the traffic stop and no
drunken-driving charges were brought against the driver, police said.

She reported the incident that night, and the department's Criminal
Investigation Division began investigating.

Sounds like FBI...Female Breast Inspector. A lot of places would have
fired that cop, not just for the incident, but due to _no_
contribution to the revenues.

People with cell phone cameras, compact video cameras, etc. are just
amazing. Commit a criminal act and then provide your own evidence of the
crime! At least he should be fired for terminal stupidity.
