Found the article.

It's so incredibly stupid how he takes himself so seriously; he's like if Poirot had a satchel of lead beads he would stick up his nose occasionally.

And then like a coward he won't elaborate on his master plan of making education and edification punishable by law.

He wasted important people's time and then just fucked off, pretending it never happened.

What a dunce; no wonder he became a cop.

From the article:

Paul Hyde, a Granbury attorney who served on the volunteer committee tasked with reviewing dozens of school library books, said he informally advised two of the accused librarians early in London’s investigation and saw the toll it has taken on them.

“These women, that are amazing educators and librarians, have been terrified for over two years now that they’re going to get arrested, hauled off to jail on a felony charge of providing pornography to minors,” Hyde said, noting that one of the librarians left the district as a result.

“We lost a great librarian,” he said.

Anyone who thinks it's a non-issue because charges weren't filed should understand that intimidation is the point. It looks like the intimidation worked.

You know who else did this shit?

Nazis.

The five year investigation concluded when he finished reading the three books.

This reminds me of the south park sting episode where the cop is just blowing dudes (dressed up like a hooker) and yelling "busted!"

This guy's is just reading whatever smut he can find then yelling "busted"

Lmfao

Let me guess, he's a "christian"?

Dream job lol. Do whatever you want, no strings attached, no requerements, no responsibility, and you are entitled to a higher position in any dispute with civilians. They aren't a part of the working class, they are a class of their own, lapdogs of the ones in power. How could this happen?

These fascist snowflakes need to be marginalized in a strong way

But they distributed them to a adult man, not a minor.

I mean, I'm sure he has baby-brain, but that's not legally binding.

Dead Uvalde children hate this one trick

All these books he's read but I guess he still didn't pick up Fahrenheit 451 or 1984

This is a MUCH BETTER use of Taxpayer Dollars then LITERALLY FEEDING STARVING CHILDREN IN AMERICA (which Republican States opted OUT OF because then they wouldn't have Tax Dollars to do THIS!)!

The police are so absurdly radicalized in this country.

The minor these materials were distributed to? The officer that was investigating the library. Cuz he's obviously a big fuckin' baby.

Why don’t stores that sell books get the same amount of scrutiny? I see A Court of Thorns and Roses books everywhere.

Say it with me now,

All cops are bastards!

This reminds me of the Chickenfucker South Park episode.

As if pigs can read.

Cop: these books made me horny, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing me to get turned on by a book, in fact I'm going to confiscate all of them so no one else has to be turned on by this filth.

cops will only read a book if it means they can put someone in jail

Really going out of his way there to be offended.

Oink oink! What a scumpig.

did all the idiots just discover books??

They've been doing stuff like this for years. In 1990, a Florida judge ruled that an album by 2 Live Crew was obscene, and police officers went into stores and threatened to arrest anyone who sold copies of the album. The obscenity law specifically requires a "lack of serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value" and they were able to get it appealed.

Reading the article it's actually more insane than it first appears. He's been doing it for two years. This wasn't an investigation ordered by a court, it was evidence he himself was compiling for his own legal complaint, which was dismissed when finally brought to the DA.

Maybe they were too busy discussing their book club while hanging out at Uvalde
