Santa Monica cops are on the lookout for a drive-by attacker who grabs women's butts and flees. Well, drive-by is an exaggeration. This winner is on a bike.

The Santa Monica Police Department put out an alert this week:

LASD

These days, somehow, some way, things happen much faster.

Substitute teacher Taylor Welch was arrested and relieved of duty within a week of authorities finding out about what he had allegedly done:

FBI

Kevin Porter.

Roshaun "Kevin" Nakia Porter, 36, was indicted last week after five women told agents they met him on Craigslist or seekingarrangements.com thinking they were headed for a romantic one-on-one relationship, according to the FBI's L.A. office.

Instead they ended up walking the streets of Orange County, feds say:

The lawsuit, sent to the Weekly by the victim's SoCal-based attorney, Kevin McGuire, was filed in L.A. federal court Friday, he told us.

Top honors.

But then charges like these come along, completely uprooting your faith in law enforcement:

This guy is almost like L.A.'s notorious Grim Sleeper, without the murder streak:

A 40-something Latino man with a teardrop tattoo beneath his left eye has been snatching girls from dark alleyways throughout South Los Angeles for at least 13 years, says the LAPD.

Riverside County Sheriff's Department

Janel Ramirez.

A couple generations ago that would have been called a quality education by any man within earshot. Even these days his friends probably said, Right on! But it's still a serious felony.

The Riverside County District Attorney's office wasn't joking around, either, when it threw the book at Janel Ramirez today:

Lenny.

The baseball legend was sentenced to three years behind bars last month for essentially stealing cars by buying them from dealers with false paperwork. Last year he faced federal charges related to alleged bankruptcy fraud.

The public bathroom at the end of Marine Avenue has been getting more action than a West Hollywood back-alley.

LAPD

This guy.

They suspect the man has committed 9 sexual assaults and two attempted kidnappings, mostly in the Arleta area, according to an announcement from the LAPD this week. He even exposed himself, according to cops.

They're warning women to be vigilant. What baffles us, as usual, is why the department took so long to issue its warning:
