Often times corpses are left out in the open for a while before they are picked up. Imagine the outrage if intermediately after the Ferguson shooting all the cops that arrived started to tea-bagging Michael Browns body.
Does anyone believe that the cops have a constitutional right to tea bag the body of someone they just shot?
In America, corpses are often put on display in a funeral home, not public display. Disturbing a body with a death requiring an inquest is a criminal act, and that includes any death where a physcician was not present. It's a health code violation, handling dead bodies safely requires training.
AND IT"S THE BODY OF AN ACTUAL PERSON YOU ETHICAL IDIOT! It's not 'venerated', it's loved by people in the midst of shock and grief and maybe outrage. I would have no sympathy for a cop shot dead while abusing a corpse, and I think a jury would let the shooter off lightly. That's because juries are mostly composed of people with normal sensibilities.
I'm not kidding when I say this, I intend it as serious advice that I hope you follow: you need to get professional help. There is something seriously wrong with you.
