Fifteen members of the Tijuana Police Department have been suspended after a video surfaced of them ordering a woman to strip for her freedom.
El Mexicano newspaper released the five-minute clip of the unidentified detainee removing her clothes and performing an X-rated strip show for the
uniformed officers at a local police station.
The grainy video shows the woman, whose face is blurred, posing on a table and flaunting some skin for the cops before getting naked from the waist
up. The then gives one of the officers a lap dance, which turns into a full-on grope session.
The incident took place March 2, when the woman and a male companion were arrested for possession of stolen bank cards and checks. According to El
Mexicano, the arresting officers offered to release them in exchange for the strip show.
Among those reportedly in attendance was Víctor Manuel de la Cruz Candelaria, head of La Presa Rural district. Candelaria denied taking part in the
incident and also said the woman performed her racy routine on her own free will.
"The judge had already ordered her released since she didn't directly participate in the crime," he told El Mexicano. "She's a woman of the night."
Regardless of what really happened, Candelaria and the other 14 officers will likely soon be out of a job.
"They've already been suspended and we're looking to fire them permanently," Tijuana Mayor Carlos Bustamente said during a press conference this week.
"What these people have done lacks morals."

They filmed this themselves? Can't believe the TJ cop couldn't just sit still and enjoy his lap dance (with her boyfriend watching no less)- he had to
spoil it with touching? Doubt they will be sent to this prison- but there they can combine their table-dance management and bartender skills at the
same time...

Some Nomads will complain about this, but for the time they were in the filming business, those cops weren't out there stopping Nomads and angling for
mordida.
If this could be an accepted practice in the station, it would be a benefit to tourism because fewer fake stops would be made.
