The female coppers, who previously looked more like strippers than serious officers, are enjoying being dressed in normal uniforms

The new Mexican Police Director has dissolved a female department known for the sexy uniforms worn by its officers​
A police unit whose female-only members wore tight fitting uniforms and killer heels has been disbanded because it was damaging the image of the force.
The group of 20 officers, chosen for their physical attractiveness, were an uncommon sight in the city of Aguascalientes in Central Mexico.
They shot to fame in 2013 after President Enrique Pena Nieto was snapped posing alongside the female officers in their skimpy uniforms, sunglasses and 4.7inch heel boots.

The female-unit shot to fame in 2013 when they were photographed with Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto​

The presidential visit came soon after the unit was set up by retired general Rolando Eugenio Hidalgo Eddy who thought it would be a good idea to have a brigade to work at social events.
But the new secretary of public security for the state, Eduardo Bahena Pineda, was not impressed with the unit and thought it demeaned the force's public image.
The department has not entirely disappeared but the remaining seven women are clad in normal uniforms and do different work like interacting with the families of victims.
The remaining women, and the public, are in favour of the change as they now look like serious officers, are comfortable and get the respect they deserve, Excelsior reported.

The women are relieved that they will be allowed to wear normal uniforms and be taken seriously​
Alma Rosa, a female officer in the reformed unit, described the change as positive.
She said: "People would come to us, but they seemed puzzled as we did not look like real policewomen.
"Now that I'm an operative officer and I wear police shoes I feel much prouder. I was proud before, but now I feel prouder."
Where did they stick their truncheons ?
 
North Carolina town petrified over solar panels accused of being ‘the dumbest in US’

A North Carolina town has been pasted online for expressing fears about solar panels.​

RESIDENTS of a small American town have been absolutely skewered online and found themselves the target of global ridicule after expressing their fears about solar panels.
The good folk of Woodland, North Carolina, have rejected a proposal for a new solar farm amid concerns it would “suck up all the energy from the sun.”
The motion to build the solar farm near a power plant was rejected during a recent council meeting due to a bizarre array of fears and distrust expressed by locals, reports the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald.
Even Jane Mann, identified as the town’s retired science teacher, was worried the solar panels were effectively stealing sun from plants.
She said she had observed areas near solar panels in the town where plants were brown and was concerned that photosynthesis would not happen in areas with solar panels nearby.
She also raised the high number of cancer deaths in the town and said no one could tell her solar panels weren’t to blame.
“People come with hidden agendas,” she said. “Until we can find if anything is going to damage this community, we shouldn’t sign any paper.”

According to reports from the council meeting, Ms Mann’s husband Bobby shared her concerns and was worried solar farms would “suck up all the energy from the sun” and businesses would not come to the town.
Other residents fretted about the aesthetics of the town and the impact another solar farm would have on property prices.
One resident, Jean Barnes, presented council members with a petition signed by residents who opposed the establishment of any more solar farms.
Despite the efforts of company representatives from the solar industry to allay fears, the result of the council meeting was a complete moratorium on solar farms in the area.
