I hope it wasn't a sex related thing.

But knowing the LAPD and cops in general...

Pardon? I only know of one cop that was as kinky as people can get, and when it got out, they put him in prison for using his access to information to look up "roleplay victims that he discussed kidnapping and raping, but never approached and never harmed." In other words, he didn't deserve to lose his job, pension, and sit in a cell for two years over it.

Cops are pretty vanilla, in my experience.

When you're riding a bike in Poland, beware of hunters. They're notorious for mistaking cyclists with boars, at least that's the common line of defense.
If it walks like a boar and quacks like a boar, and has two wheels - it must be a boar.
Might also have something to do with alcohol so common when celebrating a good hunt (especially when you give yourself a headstart in the anticipation of an inevitable success)
