Happy Valentines Day! Unbelievable! ;-)

I knew someone who was on a jury once in Dallas, for a case where the police arrested a woman in a strip joint for 'improper contact' with the officer.

Of course, to convince the woman they weren't cops, the undercover officers were drinking heavily.

The question arose as to whether or not the officer was so sloshed that he couldn't recognize the girl, so his partner was questioned as to how drunk he was.

The answer: "well, he could still stand..."

Our tax dollars at work.

And why are they not guilty of whatever? If they catch someone else doing this they are arrested and their names published so what is the difference? NONE

Officer to wife, "But, but sweetheart, I was just following orders!"

"Bob's satisfaction with his job on the force increased tremendously when he began participation in undercover sting operations. First the massage palor, then the weed ring, the Cuban cigar smugglers, and finally off to the "2 Fast 2 Furious midnight racing club" sting. It was the best of times. Bob's justified law breaking for the greater good had lowered his stress levels tremendously."

I don't really know who to ping on this subject but your list seems to have a lot of the usual suspects. I leave it to your discretion.

"and once left a $350 tip"

Lessee, $350 is about 15% of $2,300. WTF did he buy?

"Normally, there is a conversation where you agree what the sexual act is going to be and what the price is going to be," Horan said. He noted that such a negotiation isn't too difficult because "there aren't a lot of Phi Beta Kappas in that field."

Your jokes, puns, and great graphics are needed over here!

BTW - you're not on a new ping list but you all have a common connection (and having been raised correctly I will not bring it up in polite society). ;-)

Ya know what's strange...

I just realized that I'm watching an NYPD SVU episode where a cop is tapping a hooker.

I need a better benefits package.

Yup...found out the name of the deputy who volunteered: Billy Clinton

Spotsylvania Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Thomas Shaia likened the situation to investigators buying drugs from a drug dealer -- a necessary violation to prove a larger crime.

That would be a valid analogy if investigators buying drugs from a drug dealer actually used the stuff.
