Apparently all those movies where kids get busted having sex in a car are just exaggerations since public indecency is no longer a crime.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — He's in uniform and apparently on duty. But New Mexico State Police said the officer caught on camera having sex with a woman on the hood of a car did not commit a crime.
Security camera photographs of the encounter at the remote county-owned Canyon Ranch near Santa Fe, N.M., surfaced several weeks ago. The images were initially sent to state police by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department and an internal investigation was started.
State police spokesman Tim Johnson said the investigation has been completed and the case is currently in the disciplinary process. He said investigators don't believe any criminal acts occurred but that the officer will be held accountable for his actions.
"The New Mexico State Police is very embarrassed by this incident and will work tirelessly to restore our good name and earn the trust of the citizens back," he said in a statement sent Thursday to The Associated Press.
"This officer made a horrible personal decision that will obviously reflect poorly on the whole organization."
Johnson declined to release the name of the officer, but KQRE-TV reported (http://bit.ly/qOPJ6t ) he is an eight-year veteran of the department who's currently on administrative leave. The Albuquerque television station also reported he was state police officer of the year in the Santa Fe district in 2010.
Johnson declined to provide any details about the officer, including his past accolades or whether he is married.
The department has also refused to release the identity of the woman in the video and details about her relationship with the officer.
While the case is a black eye for the department, Johnson said he wanted the public to remember that hundreds of state police officers go to work "every single day and make sound decisions to protect and serve their communities."

Damn, man. Sorry to hear that. If it'll cheer you up, Geor swallows. And even if it doesn't cheer you up, it cheers him up.
About 300 million Americans have now seen him fucking someone on his hood, that not public enough for you?
That camera was monitoring private property. Someone else uploading it on to youtube doesn't make it a crime.
I guess anyone with a sex tape released should be charged with indecent exposure.
Perhaps he was trespassing, but the land owner would have to decide that.
FWIW, if he was an exemplary trooper in all other aspects, I have no problem with him getting some in uniform. If it was a bribe or forced though, that's not quite exemplary.
