LMPD trying to identify officer photographed apparently sleeping in car

Unless the City is paying for the time he is sitting in the car, it is none of anyone's business if he is taking a nap. Many people wear uniforms to and from work or in between shifts. They also don't get paid for the time they aren't working. Officers work for the city - they are not owned by the city.

Since the vehicles are take home vehicles, he may very well be off duty.

well as an employee of LMPD he is a taxpayer as well so he is in a car he pays for according to your logic. If he wasn't working, this isn't anyone's business. I can think of plenty of explanations for this & I am not a cop. I also think the person who took the pic clearly cares little about anyone but himself. if I had seen this, I would have just knocked on the window & asked if dude was ok.
