Only in Florida: Officer McFeely

In my weekly column Only in Florida, I'll be taking you down to the Sunshine State for the latest and greatest sex stories that can only be found in the craziest state in the union.

Allow me to introduce one of Jacksonville's finest, Officer Irving Diaz. Last summer, Officer Diaz was disciplined for groping a woman, purported to be his girlfriend, in public while in uniform...

According to News 4 Jacksonville (link below), rather than learning a valuable lesson from such behavior, Diaz recently doubled down, letting a woman drive his patrol car to Hooters...

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs unit received the complaints in October. The first was from a man married to Diaz's ex-wife, who was dropping off Diaz's kids for a visit.

According to the TU, the witness said Diaz "got out of the passenger side of his patrol car and a 24-year old woman got of the driver's side in short shorts and a T-shirt."

A second complaint came from another man who saw her dressed the same, driving the patrol car to the Hooters on San Jose.

News4Jax Crime and Safety Analyst Gil Smith said the officer put public safety at risk.

Don't worry, Diaz fully vetted the woman before letting her get behind the wheel of his car and drive him to Hooters...

The TU said the investigation also found that Diaz searched the police database to check for warrants on the woman.

Diaz also thinks he's being unfairly targeted for normal, everyday behavior like groping your girlfriend in public...

Smith told News4Jax he met Diaz after his first infraction for the picture showing him "closely embracing" his girlfriend right next to his police car. He said Diaz told him he didn't think it deserved as much media attention as it got.

"It may be unfair, but that's just how it is when you sign on to the job," Smith said. "Once you leave your house with that uniform on, you have to be on guard and act like someone is watching you the entire time you're out there with your uniform on. Then when you come home and take it off, you can let your hair down a little bit."

And sometimes you just want to get to Hooters before letting your hair down. Keep up the good work officer.
