No Nudity, No License?

No Nudity, No License? Conn. DMV Licensor Charged With Coercion

Quote:
Forgive us if this sounds like a script from an unmade 1980’s Brat Pack film. A Connecticut woman’s complaint that she was asked to take her clothes off to pass a driver’s test she was failing. The saddest part? The would-be licensee obliged.

According to her complaint, DMV employee Kevin Chagnon, 48, convinced the mid-twenties female to strip in exchange for a license. And while she didn’t remove all of her clothes, she did reveal enough that Chagnon granted her a passing grade, despite the fact that she had failed her driver’s test several times.

Chagnon has been charged with coercion and is presently on paid administrative leave.
Two consenting adults or a much darker and serious subject at hand?

It was when I took the test, and the lady told me I better measure up

I don't want to share the roads with somebody like that.

The license requirements are pathetically low. If you can't meet them, you're not very bright.

If you believe that taking clothes off is part of the test, you're an absolute moron.

Take the keys away from her, quick!

True enough, but as they say, this thread is useless w/o pics. Then we can judge.

The biggest problem that I see with the whole thing is not that she did it. She's stupid, that's not my problem. They should revoke her license and make her pass the test.

The first problem is, obviously, that he asked her in the first place, but there's not really anyway to control that. Who knows, maybe she's a skanky stripper and was hinting at it.

The biggest problem is that he's on paid admin leave and not just fired with no chance for un-employment.

This one pegs my bull***** meter; sorry. More likely scenario: Dumb b!tch can't pass; threatens to yell "rape" and go running from her car with her clothes partially removed. Super-motivated, super-jeenyus gubmint employee could really give a ***** if he unleashes the bimbo on an unsuspecting public (much less when weighed against the potential ramifications against him), so he signs her off. Passerby notices her clothes partially removed, or she gets pissed later, or whatever, and this story emerges.
