Overview

• Deputy Jennifer Escalera filmed herself in her Precinct 5 uniform writing tickets with the caption “Didn’t get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket,” using Gen Z slang for having sex, and her TikTok account was deleted after the post went viral.
• The Harris County Constable’s Office confirmed that internal affairs is actively investigating Escalera’s conduct but has not disciplined or suspended her and she remains on active duty.
• Local residents told Fox 26 they found the video unprofessional and disrespectful, intensifying concerns about police credibility and public trust in law enforcement.
• Precinct 5 social-media guidelines are under scrutiny as officials review policy gaps that allowed in-uniform content like Escalera’s to be posted without prior oversight.
• Similar ‘getting cracked’ videos have since appeared from other female officers, including ones identified as Officer Cruz and “Cece,” highlighting how viral trends are influencing official conduct.
