Authored by thedupreereport.com

North Carolina considers explicit rules banning sex for officers on duty or in uniform.

The proposal follows years of unclear standards and controversial disciplinary cases.

RALEIGH, N.C. (TDR) — A proposed overhaul of North Carolina’s law enforcement standards would explicitly prohibit police officers from engaging in sex while on duty, in uniform, or inside police vehicles, as well as with subordinates or students in training programs.

The initiative is led by the state’s Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission and comes after years of legal ambiguity and leniency.

The state’s current guidelines broadly require officers to demonstrate “good moral character,” a standard often challenged in disciplinary hearings.

Blue said the changes are meant to help officers “understand where the guardrails are” and preserve public trust.

Attorney Mikael Gross, who defends officers at disciplinary hearings, said the commissions had long tolerated indiscretions—possibly due to police shortages following the “defund the police” movement. »

The United States has suspended visa approvals for nearly everyone who holds a Palestinian passport, the New York Times reported on Sunday.
