Texas cop investigated after filming herself vowing to give more tickets because she hadn't had enough sex
Jennifer Escalera has come under fire over the since-deleted video which saw her writing on a notepad as she sat in her patrol car.
'Didn't get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket,' the Harris County constable deputy captioned the video.
The phrase 'getting cracked' is slang for having intercourse and has become popular amongst Gen Z. Content creators across various professions are posting TikToks highlighting how their sex life - or lack thereof - has influenced their mood in the workplace.
Escalera, whose TikTok account previously featured multiple videos of her participating in viral trends while sporting her uniform, is now at risk of losing her job at the Precinct 5 Constable Office.
'Our administration is aware and internal affairs has opened an investigation,' a force spokesperson told KRIV. 'We have no other comment at this time.'
Residents in Harris County, which includes Houston, are outraged over the video, branding it 'inappropriate' and 'disrespectful'.
Escalera was sworn in to the force in September 2021. Her social media account widely saw her share videos about being a mom and a female police officer.
Escalera blurred the portion of her uniform that stated what force she was affiliated with, but left her name visible - making her easily identifiable.
Members of the community have issued a harsh response to the videos, alleging that Escalera has a lack of respect for herself and her profession.
'It's very unprofessional,' one local told the news outlet. 'When you're a professional, you carry yourself a certain way. What you do outside of work is cool, but I don't think she should've done that.'
Another resident said videos like Escalera's make it hard for the public to take police officers 'seriously' and suggests 'you can't rely on them'.
The local added that officers cannot demand the public's respect when 'you don't treat yourself like a woman, and you ain't treating yourself like a police officer'.
Escalera is not the only law enforcement member participating in the viral 'getting cracked' TikTok trend.
A female cop - identified only as Officer Cruz - posted a similar video, but took the repercussions for her sexual frustrations even further.
'Didn't get cracked last night so everyone [is] getting a ticket or going to jail,' she wrote in the since-deleted video, OutKick reports.
Cruz, whose force affiliation has not been disclosed, added: 'All jokes! Except for the not cracked part. lol.'
Similarly, female officer Cece, who is romantically involved with a male officer, also jumped on the trend, reportedly posting on TikTok: 'He got cracked before [his] shift. Everyone is getting off with a warning today.'
