Rookie cop accused of furnishing obscene materials to minors



“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - mentally unstable cops”



After only weeks on the job, a Gwinnett County police officer is accused of electronically furnishing obscene materials to minors.

Mr. David D. Lowe, 26, was out on bond after his own department arrested him, officials confirmed Monday.

On Friday, officers arrested Mr. Lowe who graduated from the police academy on May 10, police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said.

He resigned following his arrest when he was notified of the department's intention to fire him, Cpl. Smith said.

Following a tip from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Gwinnett police investigated the source of an explicit video posted on www.myyearbook.com, a website designed to use by minors and grouped by age range. “The tip indicated that an unknown person had created such a profile and used it to share explicit video with minors,” Cpl. Smith said.

The department’s investigation led to the home of one of their own.

“It was quickly determined that he was a new police officer in this department,” Cpl. Smith said.

A search warrant was obtained and conducted on Mr. Lowe’s Norcross home and computers early Friday, the corporal said. Detectives and officers transported Mr. Lowe to the Gwinnett County Jail late Friday night, officials said.

Had enough?  Write to the Speaker of the House, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 and demand federal hearings into the police problem in America.  Demand mandatory body cameras for cops, one strike rule on abuse, and a permanent  DOJ office on Police Misconduct.
