As completely dehumanizing as this story is, it was submitted a while ago (the story is dated march 2nd, but I think the initial story was earlier), and with good reason. Not trying to be a bitch, but yeah. I would be horribly pissed if this was my girlfriend/sister/wife/mother. They show badge numbers for a reason (in theory at least).

Oh, come on, this is Albany. Our cops don’t get arrested for wrongdoing. They get cycled into desk jobs or promoted.

Supposedly it’s not unusual for crack dealers to hide vials in their vag, or their girlfriend’s vag.
