Dear Ms Doty:
RE: Cleburne City Manager, Mayor, Chief of Police et al concerned
IN THE NEWS: A Texas housewife is in big trouble with the law for selling a vibrator to a pair of undercover cops, and the Brisbane vibrator company she works for says Texas is an "antiquated place'' with more than its share of "prudes.''
As a very right-wing conservative and ex Dallas police officer, even I have to agree with the above. Not only do the police have better things to do, but since when is selling adult personal products a crime?? If it is, it's a pretty darned ridiculous one. I know officers couldn't do something this STUPID of their own free will, ESPECIALLY since it uses resources and money, so I will speculate that some idiotic County DA, Chief of Police or Mayor came up with this one, perhaps at the request of the town's most influential Baptist? Sounds to me like someone conducting personal business at the expense of the police department. I'll need to rummage through the Penal Code; it seems like there IS a law against that!
Nothing personal, but congratulations on becoming the laughing stock of Texas towns.
I'll think of this everytime I drive to Cleburne...and will be sure I do NOT stop at any businesses on my way through.
Sheesh.....
