Police officers are suspended after they're filmed having SEX in patrol car in broad daylight
Two Cypriot cops were suspended after they were filmed having sex in a patrol car in broad daylight.
A resident of Larnaca in southeastern Cyprus was driving through an open field this week when they spotted the male and female police officers having sexual intercourse in their parked car.
The passerby captured the scandalous moment in a video that has now gone viral on social media, with hundreds of users reacting to the shocking clip.
'If I or you did it and a patrol car was passing by, we would be arrested', one user pointed out on social platform X.
Another said that the cops 'must suffer the consequences of their actions'.
The police officers involved were quickly identified and have been suspended. One cop is understood to have been on-duty at the time, while the other was not, local media reports.
Cops are now carrying out a criminal and disciplinary investigation.
Criminal charges could include neglect of duty as well as public indecency, according to Cyrpus Mail.
'Such actions and behaviours are unacceptable as they insult the work of thousands of our members', a police spokesperson said.
But a statement from the Cyprus Police Association has called for members of the public to respect the privacy of the officers involved.
'From the very beginning, the leadership of the force gave instructions for an immediate investigation of the incident, so that any responsibilities that arise can be attributed. The public's trust is precious to us and there is no room for excuses on issues of ethics and professionalism', the statement said.
'At the same time, however, we are watching with concern the way in which the public debate has been diverted into a tidal wave of discredit for the entire police force,' it added.
Commissioner for Personal Data Protection Irini Loïzidou Nicolaidou said in a statemen said the cops featured in the video are responsible for their actions noted that 'the priority is to protect the privacy of their families, especially if there are minor children involved'.
The viral video comes months after it was revealed that in the UK, more than 25 cops were sacked or disciplined in the past year after being caught having sex on duty.
According to The Sun, information requests to UK forces found at least 26 officers faced disciplinary hearings in the last 24 months for having sex on duty, 20 of whom lost their jobs.
But a number of forces — including the Met, West Midlands and Derbyshire — refused to give details, meaning the true total is likely to be higher.
In one case, a Sussex officer turned off his body cam to have sex with a woman in her house after she had made a 999 call.
In Northumbria, another member of the force was sacked for having sex with his lover in a police van parked up outside a supermarket.
One Cleveland Police officer was also banned from policing after filming herself performing a solo sex act in a toilet.
The figures led one former Chief Superintendent to blast these disgraced officers as 'damaging the reputation of the police service'.

Mystery female donor who paid £1,300 fine to free Madeleine McCann suspect Brueckner is former COP who investigated him
THE woman who has paid for the prime Madeleine McCann suspect's early release has been revealed as a cop who had been investigating the paedophile. The mystery donor settled a £1,300 outstanding court fine which means Christian Brueckner, 48, will walk free in less than three months, on September 17. 6 6 Reports have now identified her as a former officer with the German FBI - known as the BKA - who claims to have been involved in wire-tapping his jail cell. She confirmed to respected Hamburg-based publication Der Spiegel she paid the funds directly to the justice system - allowing the fiend out early. Convicted rapist Brueckner had only been able to pay off £210 of the total fine and faced being kept behind bars until January. That scenario would have granted cops four precious extra months to hunt down forensic evidence and finally charge him over Maddie's disappearance. As it is, the ex-cop's intervention undermined the same force she previously worked for - all as they tirelessly dug for new clues in Portugal two weeks ago. The woman - who has not been publicly named - claims she worked in the field of 'Operative Technology Audio'. She says she was involved in bugging Brueckner's prison cell - allegations that emerged in court last year as the disturbed German was cleared of fresh rape charges. The female fine-payer did confirm: 'I never had personal contact with Christian B.' And when confronted over the fine payment, the woman bizarrely told Spiegel it has been a 'misunderstanding' and she had tried in vain to reverse the payment. She reportedly believed the fine was due to Brueckner insulting a police officer, something she said "wasn't justified". When she learned that the penalties were actually to do with a number of infractions, including bodily harm, 'it was already too late,' she said. Spiegel reports it has been able to verify she transferred £1,300 to an account of the Braunschweig public prosecutor's office at the Comdirect bank. It cleared a 2016 Helmstedt District Court fine for drunkenness in traffic and forgery of documents and a 2017 Braunschweig court levy for assault. Brueckner will now walk free when his sentence for raping an American woman, 72, in Praia da Luz, in 2005, ends. He has been named publicly as the prime suspect over the May 3, 2007 disappearance of Maddie, of Rothley, Leics., since 2020 but has never been charged. He has used letters to deny the claims but has refused to answer police questions or provide an alibi. His phone was in Praia da Luz on the night Madeleine vanished and made a 30-minute call from the area. 6 6 His Jaguar was re-registered into a name the day after the disappearance. A Sun investigation this year revealed bombshell new evidence - including Brueckner's obsession with snatching and abusing small, young, blonde girls. We also placed him at key police locations of interest, including a lake where cops dug for evidence, And we showed evidence he was at the scene of an al-but-confession when he allegedly said Maddie 'did not scream,' in 2008. Our probe - aired on Channel 4 - revealed the existence of a hard-drive and laptop containing crucial picture evidence on the case. Police maintain they have physical evidence Maddie is dead - but no forensic links. German police have recently stressed the value UK authorities could provide by getting involved in the case again before Brueckner's release. He has refused to rule out leaving Germany and insisted he will go to ground on his release. If he travelled to a non-extradition country all hopes for McCann justice could disappear with him. Timeline of Maddie's disappearance May 3, 2007 Madeleine McCann disappears from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, sparking a massive police search and becoming one of the most famous missing persons cases in history. January 15, 2016 Neighbour reports a possible 'grave' at Brueckner's abandoned factory in East Germany. Cops find disturbing images on USB sticks and launch a full-scale search. February 16, 2016 Christian Brueckner is convicted for abusing a girl of five in a park after images found on his laptop. He was sentenced to 15-months behind bars but was already on the run by then. May 3, 2017 Around this time, Helge B calls an information hotline after watching a ten-year anniversary special on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. He reports an alleged confession by Christian Brueckner. September 27, 2018 On-the-run Christian Brueckner is arrested over outstanding drugs claims in Italy. He is extradited to Germany the following year. December 16, 2019 Christian Brueckner was convicted, in Germany, for the 2005 rape of an American woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal, after his DNA was matched to a hair found on her bed. He was sentenced to seven years behind bars. June 4, 2020 German prosecutors reveal to the world they have a suspect in custody under investigation for the abduction of Madeleine McCann. For the first time they claim Madeleine is dead. German media later name him as Christian B (Christian Brueckner). June 23, 2023 In his first interview, witness Helge B alleges to German newspaper Bild that Christian Brueckner all-but-confessed the Madeleine abduction to him, by allegedly saying 'she didn't scream' as they talked about the case, at a music festival, in Spain. February 16, 2024 Brueckner goes on trial accused of none-McCann allegations of rape and sex assault, in Braunschweig, Germany. Prosecutors hope for a conviction to keep him behind bars permanently and lead to McCann charges. October 8, 2024 Brueckner was acquitted of all claims. Prosecutors launch an appeal, however. Decision pending. September 17, 2025 Date on which Christian Brueckner will be released from custody without action being taken. Prosecutors require an arrest warrant for a retrial over claims from last year - or over the McCann case. June 1, 2025 Police order a renewed search for clues in Praia Da Luz on the Algarve in Portugal. It lasts for just three days. 6 6

It is understood the couple had recently moved in together. He continued: "It is still very early stages of this investigation and it's likely that the Major Crime investigators and the forensic response members will be there most of today." Parrot said the cause of death was yet to be determined and that further details could not yet be released as the victim's family hadn't been notified. The woman has been detained under the Mental Health Act and did not seek bail. She is expected to return to court in December. A suppression order is in place preventing the publication of any information that could identify the woman, the victim, or details surrounding the man's death. That order is due for review by the court next week.
