A lot of people on this thread have interesting things to say,

but the point of this story is much, much bigger than a guy who may have gotten a little satisfaction at a massage parlor.

Here we have a federal institution secretly recording citizens in private places,

and selectively releasing actual footage in order to embarrass, discredit, and prosecute SELECT individuals.

This is NOT about an orgasm.

The Government of the US was once the guardian of our privacy.

Now it is a spy, a cheat, a sneak, and...

Well, we'll leave it at that.

I’m sorry to disagree. Human trafficking, sex slavery, is so wrong it may necessitate intrusive police work. Some innocents may get spied upon.

I’m fine with legalizing prostitution. A victimless crime as long as all the workers have rights. Such as the right to not work, the right of human freedom, and the right to be paid for their job.

Sex slavery is abhorrent. The slaves are often underaged or in other ways naive and dependent. It’s the worst of humanity. There are plenty of young men and women (of age) who would willingly work in the sex trade. I feel very strongly about this.
