In the video, the officer and the woman can be seen standing between two parked cars on the roadside. It appears that the officer is trying to note down the details of the woman to slap a fine on her for breaching pandemic guidelines. Meanwhile, she tries to persuade him to let her off the fine in return for a kiss. Moments later, the two begin to kiss each other.

“Our mayor Luis Molina has taken the decision to suspend this officer immediately… There are several infringements. The young woman disrespects social distancing rules and he allows it… Then he takes off his mask to give her a kiss… This action by itself is a very serious one and that's why he's been suspended,” a report by Daily Mail quoted district citizen security in-charge Ibero Rodriguez as saying.
