stepdaughter. part of the alleged fake arrest was secretly recorded on cellphone video by the boy's father during the august 30th confrontation. the motorcycle officer showed up in uniform at the end of his shift and the debate is over whether he violated the law or department policy. they thought the officer came to arrest their son and never gave permission to use scared straight tactics which included handcuffing him, writing an arrest card and telling the parents he wasn't going to arrest their son after all. the d.a.'s office determined under a welfare and institutions code, the officer has the authority to take a minor into temporary custody if there's reasonable cause to believe a criminal offense was committed and this case unlawful sexual intercourse. they can release the miner with a warning. the police department cited both teens for underaged sex. while the officer is not facing criminal charges he remains on paid administrative leave.
