Police Probe Mobile Boob

Police chiefs are carefully examining how a photograph of a young policewoman's breasts was circulated on internal emails.
The boob came to light when the photo was diverted into the mail system of police in the Australian state of Victoria.
The police constable was in her uniform with her name badge visible, her shirt undone and her breasts exposed when she was photographed, it has been reported.
She had sent it to her boyfriend as a get well message from her mobile phone.
The image landed in the inboxes of senior officers and detectives in the ethical standards department.
"She has sent an image to her boyfriend and obviously he has done the wrong thing and forwarded it on," a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
"The ethical standards department has been notified.
"They are aware of the incident, which involved the circulation of a photograph, and they are examining it to see if an offence has been committed."
It is not clear how long officers will need to examine the photograph.
I think they will privately be 'examining' the picture for many months.
