Sheriff: Officers Must Have Sex With Prostitutes For Evidence

[NFS4]

Thanks, AsianriceX 😛

SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. -- Undercover sex is getting the OK from a Virginia sheriff.

Spotsylvania County Sheriff Howard Smith said he stands by the practice of allowing detectives to receive sexual services in the course of their investigations so they can catch suspects in the act.

Court documents show that four times last month, county detectives allowed women at a massage parlor to perform sex acts on them. In one case, a lawman left a $350 tip. Smith acknowledged the practice is not new.

Smith told The Washington Post that only unmarried detectives are allowed to do the under-the-covers work.

He said actual sex acts are needed to help win prostitution convictions.

"If I thought we could get the conviction without that, we wouldn't allow it," Smith told the newspaper. "If you want to make them, this has to be done."

He said most prostitutes are careful not to say anything incriminating, which makes sexual contact necessary

Several police officials and legal observers say the practice has been tried by other agencies across the country, but they knew of none that still permit sexual contact with suspects as part of prostitution investigations. But many police agencies across the country have banned sexual contact between investigators and suspects.

When police used similar tactics in the past in Montgomery County, Md., the charges ended up being dropped.

If you have to be a full-blown fvcking prostitute, sex and all, for a conviction... and you OK that sex to get a conviction, then why the fvck is prostitution illegal anyway?

In his stand up comedy routine "Doin' It Again," George Carlin wonders why prostitution is illegal, since "selling" and "F**K**" are both legal activities in and of themselves. He goes on to ask ". . . why should it be illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away?"

 

[Kadarin]

Prostitution, in and of itself, is a victimless crime. Personally, I very much disagree with the concept of legislating morality for its own sake.

 

[zephyrprime]

This is an outrageous tactic by the police. Aren't the police prostitutes also since they are being paid to have sex with people?

 

[axnff]

Are we resurrecting threads on their second lunaversary, now?

Hahah they're like prostitutes

 

[elektrolokomotive]

What about the male prostitutes? Maybe sonz has an exciting career ahead of him in law enforcement.

 

[ValkyrieofHouston]

Why don't the police patronize the services of male escorts? Are is it to "Gee" for them? Basically, the police are in affect breaking the law to enforce it. Most prosecutors with the exception of this one in other states or cities generally have to throw out these type cases when these type tactics are used.

The cops who do this should be arrested and the sheriff should be run out of town. If you can't catch criminals like every other PD in the nation you obviously aren't a very good PD.
