A police department had the right to fire an officer for operating a web site that featured sexually explicit photos and videos of his wife, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. Although Ronald Dible's conduct may have been unrelated to his job as a police officer in Chandler, Ariz., his actions hurt the department in the eyes of the public and were not protected by freedom of speech, said the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. 'His activities were simply vulgar and indecent,' said Judge Ferdinand Fernandez. 'They did not contribute speech on a matter of public concern.'
