(00:00):
Yeah, Hi, are you apolice officer? I am. Can you
tell me where, like Virginia,Maryland, DC, somewhere else? Yeah,
Virginia, Virginia. All right,very good. Hey, So let
me ask you this. I havea question like this. Sometimes you will
see where a police officer also getshired out so that on their free time
(00:25):
or they're they're like off time,I don't know what to call it,
they'll get hired to work secure.Tom. Yeah, we'll get hired to
work security someplace. Does your departmentallow for that? My department does not.
We're allowed to have secondary employment,but it has to be approved through
our department, and security is notauthorized. We have like overtime details where
(00:49):
if some events going on in ourjurisdiction and that place wants the police president
presidents, they'll hire the police departmentspecifically to have secure or you will provide
that, like if alcohol is beingserved, state law say that you have
to have police presence, so they'llpay the department. The department pays us.
But my department specifically does not allowoff duty security, so you could
(01:12):
I understand the overtime thing. Likethat makes sense to me, But like
if it were like like we passedthat. We like, we passed that
synagogue every day on the way in, and there's always two police cars or
one police car, sometimes two policecars parked outside. Is that Are those
cops just doing it on their ownor are they hired to be there?
(01:34):
I mean it depends. We havesome churches around here that for various events
they'll they'll hire us. And Iknow that some of the Strine jurisdictions they
had a full time detail that theyhire the department to provide security and traffic
(01:56):
direction. I got you. Okay, that all makes sense, But you
couldn't be hired. You couldn't behired as like Kroger. They couldn't say
we want to have an officer hereto try to cut down on theft or
any kind of problems. So wejust want to hire an off duty police
officer to show up and work.I'm making this up for two three hours
(02:19):
a day at the Kroger, justto make sure that there is a police
presence and everybody feels cool. Ohyeah, I couldn't. I couldn't do
it just on my own. Butif they went through the police department and
said, hey, we're having anissue here with shoplifting. We would like
an officer to spend a couple hourshere. Then the department may sit it
(02:40):
up and authorize us, and they'llput it out to the whole department and
say hey, over time off dutydetail. Sign up, first come first
sir. If you sign up,you take it, you do your detail.
They pay the department. Apartment paysus. So is that how is
that how most of these places wouldoperate where not hiring the cop independently or
(03:01):
the police officer independently. It's alldone through the department, and then the
department pays you, so that it'snot Kroger money to you, it's Kroger
money to the department, and thenthe department pays you. From what I'm
aware of, yes, it comesback to a liability saying of what happens
(03:23):
is if something happens and I usemy police powers outside of the department,
is the department going to back meup? Probably not, But if the
department authorizes it and something happens,right, and then I'm covered under their
insurance and their attorneys. One lastquestion for you, and by the way,
if it's different for other jurisdictions,please let me know. Eight six
(03:46):
six to Elliott eight six six twothree five five four six eight. Let's
say that that, Let's say thatthey follow the procedures of your department.
Right, So I run a Krogerand I want to pull he's presence there
for whatever, it doesn't matter.I go through all the right channels,
and they assign you, sir,to be the security or you accept the
(04:08):
job and you're going to be theofficer at my Kroger for a while,
are you? Are you prohibited fromhooking up with anybody at the Kroger on
duty? Yes? What happens offduty when I take the uniform as far
(04:29):
as the departments where none of theirbusiness interesting? Okay, all right,
very good, very good, Thankyou sir, Thank you. My friend,
yep, you got it. Basicallymade him kick off. So you're
saying, if if there's a ruleabout interpersonal relationships within the department, when
you're then hired by a third party, does that extend to the third party,
(04:51):
right, even though it went throughthe office. Whatever. But yeah,
I'm now, I'm I'm working atKroger from three to six every day,
right, house, cous Kroger gettingso lucky to be plugged so much
to be Oh no, because thishappened at a Kroger. Oh yeah,
yeah. Do they tell you youcan't hook up with anybody at Kroger?
(05:15):
This is off duty. We're assuminglike the color didn't. It's like he
said, like in uniform, definitelynot well my three to six job.
Like people, I could say,they're being impossible conflctive interest. Yeah,
oh oh did you hook up withsomebody's got This guy did. Yeah,
this guy did. But the butthe Kroger is like, yeah, it's
cool, Like the Kroger's not goingafter it. The police department in his
(05:39):
department that he works for, firedhim because he's not allowed to They said
that he hooked up with the employeean excessive amount of times. Excessive,
excessive. It just they have himon camera hooking up with the employee an
excessive amount of time. So it'sallowed up to a certain efficency. Well
(06:00):
I don't know, but that's whatI was going to say, is it
or is it just not allowed atall? Do they mean excessive as a
way to explain that it started tointerfere with his duty, like he was
coming back late from a break ofsome sort or who the cop? Yeah,
I don't know. It just saysa Columbus This takes place out of
Columbus, Ohio. A Columbus officerlost his job after engaging in sexual acts
(06:24):
multiple times at a local grocery storeKroger. Columbus Police chief Blah Blah Blah
disclosed that the offer was terminated afterbeing on a special duty at the Kroger
store in the area. He violatedthe rules of consensual sexual activity with a
(06:48):
store employee, so you're not allowedto do it. And then it says
it was an excessive amount of times, but you said Kroger didn't mind.
Here we go, he was caughton camera doing some sexual acts and it
is an excessive amount of times.So Kroger's cool with the Kroger said site
sex. Kroger's like, we're notprosecuting. Point, like this isn't criminal.
(07:10):
Like it's fine because it was consensual. Oh yeah, no, you
made that clear. Yeah, butthey were like they'll be like, hey,
let's not be having sex all overour store. Well they were on
camera. Yeah, So I mean, clearly it was at the store,
but it wasn't I'm guessing it wasn'tout in the aisles or these cameras out
in parking lots. I have noidea, but they were fine with it.
(07:30):
But the police said, you're onbreak, I'm on break. You
can't you can't do this. Theymay not be criminal, but we have
an internal problem here. We're onbreak. I understand your defense, but
it was excessive. Like for example, I love that word. My friend
Marissa her Son works at a grocerystore. I saw him yesterday. Actually,
(07:53):
if he's on break and I'm onbreak, I can hook up with
him. Hmm, Well, ifif I work in the store, you
could, because Kroger's cool with instore sex. That's what I'm getting.
It's the police involvement, right,But you're not really an officer. I
mean you are, but you're not. It's not like you're pulled over on
(08:13):
this. You pulled somebody over onthe side of the road and you were
like, hey, you want toget out of this ticket. There's none
of that. Oh no, no, no, you said. This was
totally I don't think anyone appears I'mreading an article now, is fighting them
on that. No, No,it was totally. Hey you want to
hook up, Yeah, I wantto hook up. Let's hook up.
Now do we know is that personsstill employed? Who the employee? I
(08:35):
don't know. I know the officeris not. But if I'm just doing
a special event, I just wantto be clear I am not allowed to
hook up or I am just notexcessively. I think you were right to
ask for a different jurisdiction because itmay be different. What is excessive,
(08:56):
Dian? What is an excessive amountof time for me to hook up?
Do a little digging? Well,I mean you you're married to somebody you
worked with. Did you guys hookup at our place of employment? No?
Never? No? Never? No, Hey, Scott, I'm on
break, you're on break. No, let's go to the parking lot.
No, okay, plenty of peoplein here have hooked up, definitely in
(09:20):
the parking lot and in station vehiclesand in the stairwell. Yeah, ooh
ooh. The quote is he wascaught on camera doing some sexual acts and
it was an excessive amount of times. What is that? It's such a
weird sentence or is that just theirway of going Listen, it happens once.
We could turn our back, orwe could be cool with it and
(09:43):
talk to him even a second time. But you're digging for worms thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen times like that's toomuch, that's crossing a line. Is
there a comment from the officer.No, he was like a yeah,
But did the news reach out tohim? I don't see anything from him.
(10:03):
Is this one of those times you'llsee? I think we last probably
better to stay quiet. Okay,No, we last came across one like
that guy really wanted to adopt hisK nine. The community in Columbus Christin.
You may know it's Ohio out inforce for a rally around this guy.
(10:24):
I just don't know that he shouldlose his gig define access. Where
am I going? Line one?Hi Elliott in the morning. Hey is
this me? Yes? Are youan officer? I am not, but
I am a retail assistant manager thatdealt with them for many years for the
exact thing you're talking about. Okay, yeah, so you would have security
(10:46):
at the store. Yeah. Yeah. So I worked down and I went
down in Saint Mary's County, andI can how it worked down in Saint
Mary's County. We'd reach out tothe local police, whether it be county
or state, talked to command thereand you know, they'd authorize the officers
to come work, use their powers, all that good stuff. Unlike where
(11:07):
the other guy said their department paidthem, I had to pay them out
of Walmart's pocket. Plus they settheir own hour caps. So I'm paying
these guys like one hundred and twentydollars an hour to work a six hour
shift in my front door at Walmart, right, and now hooking up with
people they were allowed to date ortalk to our coworkers. But yeah,
I mean that question of obsessive sex, like, come on, man,
(11:30):
that's crazy, not obsessive accessive.Yeah, yep, Walmart would have been
one time the officer would have beenlet go and then he would have faced
disciplinary action by his boss because wekind of had one that wasn't involved with
cooking up, but was kind ofbeing like a jerk to the employees,
and so he got in trouble withWalmart. Plus he got in trouble with
his command. So uh, Ithink, like you said, it buries
(11:54):
on the jurisdiction and what police departments. Okay, I understand that, but
let me ask you this. Doyou have they at the Walmart? Do
you have a no consensual hookup policyfor all employees? So I've been out
of Walmart now for a couple ofyears now, when I did it,
it was you as an hourly,as a supervisor, a salary assistant manager.
(12:18):
I could hook up with assistant managersand co managers and store managers from
different stores like I couldn't. Icouldn't hook up with like an assistant at
my store or a store manager atmy store or anything like that. It
had to be a different store.So there was no favoritism or anything like
that. But we did have anassociate got caught getting filatio out in the
(12:41):
you know, parking lot, andwe had to let them go even though
they were on break. Hey,I know you're on break because it was
on the premises the wait so anyemployee, So no employee is allowed to
hook up on premise as far.And let's say change that policy now,
because it's something you don't want yourcustomers, you know, walking by with
(13:01):
their six year old going hey daddy, why is he that lady's head and
that dude's laugh. All right,Very good, very good. You were
very helpful. Thank you, sir, Thank you. Is Kroger and you
say this about a certain rental carcompany. Is Kroger known for really attractive
employees like Enterprise rent a car.Yes, I don't know. I've seen
(13:26):
a few ladies working at Kroger thatI would hop up with. Really,
I've never heard that about Kroger before. Is Kroger known? And Lava says,
are they the Are they the hottiesof the world, Like, I
can tell you this, Like theguy like yesterday at Harris Teeter not my
friend Marissa's son. There was anotherdude and I was wearing a Thrman Munson
(13:50):
T shirt. He started in withme immediately. He was like, oh,
I don't like your shirt without sayinganything, and I was like,
okay, whatever, dude, He'slike, oh, I'm I'm a Red
Sox fan. I was like,okay, well I don't like you either,
and then like he checked me outand everything was fine. Well,
he was checking me out when hesaw the shirt, but I was like,
you don't need to tell me that, right, No, that's excessive
(14:15):
bitchiness anyway. Yes, I don'tknow if Kroger is known to be the
POA of grocery stores, and Lavasays that, uh, for their interpretation
of excessive it was every single shift. Wait, what do you mean that's
what they think for the whmber,we're trying to figure out what is accessive?
(14:37):
Oh oh oh oh oh. Soevery time, every time the officer
was there, it was every timethey were hooking up. Yeah, and
that's why they used that word.They didn't want to get into graphic detail,
which if you say every time,that may be a little more right.
So it was just excessive. Sothey say excessive, but it's because
(14:58):
they wanted people to know it wasa lot. Can I ask you this
like take now, forget police officer, Kroger employee, although I do want
an answer on that Kroger, thatburning Kroger question, but are there people
like listen, people hook up withworker coworkers all the time. It's very
common. I mean, and I'mnot talking about like it's a part time
(15:20):
person. But in every office thereare two people that are hooking up.
I will make you that promise.Every office, everywhere in the country,
there are at least two people thatare hooking up. It may be public,
it may not be public, butI promise you every office has at
least two people that are hooking up. Do you think they hook up every
(15:41):
day at the office. Yeah,Well, now I'm throwing off because Donna
asks, is kissing a sex act? So? Were they just like kissing
all over the store? Is kissing? I don't think kissing is a sex
act? What about frenchen? No, I feel like when it comes to
(16:03):
sex act, you're talking about fillatiothat's a sex acts. Digging for worms
that's a sex act. Doing itkissing breasts it would be weird to see.
I'm asking, I don't know,motor No, you just said kissing
is in the sex act. Well, I'm responding to her wondering. But
(16:26):
kissing boobs is? I think?So? Okay? Is it? Because
well, why is she going togo in there with a big wet mark
on her shirt? But that wouldbe strange if you saw two employees just
kissing all over in office? Yes, of course it would be. So
is that is, Donna Wright?Is that what's excessive? Like they were
(16:51):
like just hugging on each other.So much? Give me two people in
the office. Todd Todd? No, No, Well Todd's not married.
Well what does it matter? Wellhe's not, And who's somebody else that
that's not married? Here? Yvonneso Todd in, Yes she's married?
Yes, well I know she's pregnant, but you don't have to be married
to be pregnant. Is it Todd'skid? I don't think we'll find out
(17:15):
it later though. Who's somebody who'sa girl here? Jamie? So Todd
and Jamie Jamie has a boyfriend?Yeah, Todd has a girlfriend. She
wants you to say, Casey,Okay, okay, well what about Todd's
got a girlfriend? Can we justgo with two people find Casey? Todd
(17:36):
and Casey. If you saw themfrenchen in the hallway and in the office,
you would think, Okay, that'snot right. It's so story yes.
So is it a sex act?No, but it's probably. But
(17:56):
I could see someone saying it's excessive. Every time I go to the bathroom,
they're back there. No, No, he's just right on the open,
like Todd's I was going to say, even in the hallway, like
even in Todd's office, if theywent in there and they were like embraced
and playing tonsil hockey, you wouldthink there's something wrong. But that being
(18:17):
said, let's say they were coolabout not making out in front of people
in Todd's office. Don't you thinkpeople who are who are like dating at
work hook up not even dating,but just hook up, hook up every
single day, like even if it'sa quick like Hey, I'm going to
I'm going to like refill my waterbottle up on the fourth floor. That
(18:38):
like Casey would go with Todd andlike Honkins junk or something. No,
no, because you got to keepa professional or you'll risk losing your job.
Nobody's there. But then cameras everywhere. Then do it in the pit.
Pit is slang for but line whatbut that's but but that gets to
(19:06):
the same thing. Are you allowedto do it? Because I'm telling you,
in the office people are hooking uplike crazy, every office, every
city, every town in America.People are hooking up at work. People
enjoy it, right, Hm,this is just a different position like Casey
(19:27):
and Todd. Line one, HiEllie at the morning. Hey this yeah,
