Officer McNeal captured the ride on his body camera, fixed beneath his car’s rearview mirror and trained on the back seat, filming the couple as they kissed, fondled each other and smoked
The couple were snuggling in the back seat, arms around each other and kissing as Bruno Mars crooned “Just the Way You Are” over the car stereo. The only thing spoiling the mood during that romantic summer Saturday ride: the set of handcuffs — police department-issued and involuntarily worn.
The report also said McNeal violated the department’s body-camera rules and didn’t inform his dispatchers of his whereabouts as he drove the suspects from the crime scene to the county jail, the jail to a hospital for medical evaluation, and then back to the jail. “No, just smoke in the car,” McNeal reportedly responded. “They won’t let you smoke in the sally port.”
During the internal affairs investigation, McNeal told a department detective that he saw the kissing and cuddling and “was fine with it.” However, he denied seeing sexual activity, investigators said.
