A Florida cop's wife decided it was time to get their love life out of its arrested state, so she posted some nude pictures of herself on the Internet. It was supposed to be a surprise, but unfortunately the hubby's fellow officers, including the chief, saw the steamy site and the sultry spouse before he did. The smoking gun (or the smokin' download in this case) caused hubby to be stripped of his gun, badge and handcuffs for three days. Surprise! The chief said his officers should be above such things, whether they're on the beat or off.
