Never get naked in front of a cop … or his wife

Now it makes sense. Remember Eric Williamson? He was the Fairfax, Virginia man arrested for making coffee while naked and alone in his own kitchen. He was 'viewed' by a woman and her 7-year-old who were taking a shortcut across his property. Rather than apologize, knock on his door to complain or just shrug it off, the woman called the police to report a pervert and Williamson now faces a year in jail. Why does it make sense now?

According to the Washington Post: As officers tell it, the 45-year-old woman, the wife of a Fairfax police officer, was walking her son to school about 8:40 a.m. along a well-traveled path between public tennis courts and the house where Williamson had been living for three months when a noise drew her attention to a side door. That's when she first noticed Williamson standing nude in the doorway, she said.

It was the wife of a Fairfax police officer whose delicate pupils were seared by peeping through the window of a neighbor. it was the son of a Fairfax police officer who knows now to call the police on a pervert when you peep through windows and see things you don't like. Those who are 'insiders' of the legal or political system in America are a de facto elite class and, so, receive "protections" to which the rest of us are not privy.

Does anyone believe this case would be pursued if it was a clerk at WalMart married to a gas jockey who complained? The husband-cop got angry...and this is what happens when cops want to vent. Rank has its privileges. That used to mean those with rank had generous expense accounts; now it means they have special status under the law. I guess there are no murders, rapes, thefts, assaults and other real crimes stacked up on police desks in Fairfax.

Unhappily for Williamson, the fact that it is a cop's wife and the case has garnered international attention means the police are likely to pursue a conviction zealously in order to prove themselves in the "right." He could take a plea deal, like so many innocent people do. But that is likely to land him on a sex registry along with a notation that his offense involved a 7-year-old child. Such a listing would make him largely unemployable, unable to attend public places like church or a park and banned from living in most areas of most cities.
