  Court Says Cop Wrongly Fired for Masturbation Video

  
  

  SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A San Diego policeman who sold videos of himself masturbating after removing a police uniform was wrongly dismissed from the force, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Thursday.
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that his dismissal was unjust because his off-duty actions were protected by First Amendment rights to free speech.
