The possibility that the electromagnetic current has an isotensor component, has never been excluded. Further, to be sure, if an I = 2 electromagnetic current existed, it would have rather peculiar properties provided one wants to maintain the usual structure of the charge operator. (In particular, the elastic electric isotensor form factors must vanish at zero momentum transfer.)
