Spotsylvania Deputies Receive Sex Services in Prostitution Cases

They enter the massage parlors as undercover detectives. They leave as satisfied customers.
In Spotsylvania County, as part of a campaign by the sheriff's office to root out prostitution in the massage parlor business, detectives have been receiving sexual services from "masseuses." During several visits to Moon Spa on Plank Road last month, detectives allowed women to perform sexual acts on them on four occasions and once left a $350 tip, according to court papers.
Spotsylvania Sheriff Howard D. Smith said that the practice is not new and that only unmarried detectives are assigned to such cases. Most prostitutes are careful not to say anything incriminating, so sexual contact is necessary, he said.
"If I thought we could get the conviction without that, we wouldn't allow it," Smith said. "If you want to make them, this has to be done."
But numerous police and legal experts said they were not aware of any law enforcement agency in the Washington region, or the country, that allows sexual contact in prostitution investigations. Police should not break the law to enforce it, they said.
"It's insane," said Charles J. Key Sr., a retired Baltimore police lieutenant who trains police officers and federal agents across the country. "If you allow officers to go through with the act, they've violated the law. You don't get an exception for participating in a violation of law."

They asked the police chief if it was legal as long as the cop used a rubber. The chief said yes, even though it was somewhat stretching the law.

The case was dismissed on a technicality. The cop promised a big tip and she testified that it was definitely a small tip.

The girl complained to internal affairs. She said the cop was cocky.

Ya know what's strange...
I just realized that I'm watching an NYPD SVU episode where a cop is tapping a hooker.

It says much about Bill Nelson's weakness as a candidate that Harris actually has a chance.Now that's the spirit.
Nelson voted no on Alito and gave the thumbs up to Farenheit 9/11. Bill Nelson delenda est.

There's a whole lot worse out there - they should at least get hazardous duty pay! Still, with the spread of AIDS I do not recall seeing a major decline in prostitution stats ... not saying I've never thought along those lines but AIDS definitely ALWAYS tips the scales the right way. ;-)

Apparently you're just working in the wrong place. Maybe this will help ... looks like the cops (in blue) came in from the Northwest ... I'm not bringing up the flanking maneuver for nothing! ;-)
