We want our law enforcement professionals to be as uptight and frustrated as possible.
They use a rubber glove to check for video games?
If they fail the test what happens? Stoned? Lashed?
It's not useless, it gives people an official record of who the sluts are. Which is a damn good thing to know.
Except the test is not accurate.
Hey, I have a full proof way of determining which women are virgins, but they can only take the test once.
It's not useless,
it gives the testers a cheap thrill.
No shirt, no shoes, no hyman, no badge.
Makes sense to me.

Sounds like way to enable an actual rape culture in the police department. If "losing" your virginity is a ticket to getting fired, some female officers will avoid filing rape complaints against fellow officers.
