So, amidst the calls for reform of police behavior, there's at least one easy reform that both left and right should agree on: make it illegal for law enforcement officers to have any form of sexual contact with suspects, prisoners, defendants, parolees or anyone else in the care of the criminal justice system. Define any sexual contact as presumptively non-consensual assault (even if the victim nominally agreed).
