I am not a "junior G-man ..."

Neither am I but I did watch Cops while staying at a Holiday Inn last night. lol

Could anyone believe the cop's assertion that "every person I've had so far has told me the truth," and that "We've been respectful to each other and then they've gone on their way. And I've never had to bring anybody to jail because everybody's been truthful to me." The man has led a charmed life or reminds people of their parish priest.

Lying is ok in interrogations. Even about pertinent facts. Probably shouldn't be but it is.

It also does not appear that the cop had probable cause to detain Craig, let alone arrest him. No illegal transaction had occurred -- ...

So what would be probable cause in one of these bathrooms stings?

... and no articuable offer and no articulable acceptance of said offer took place.

So if the entire transaction is done in sign language or gestures it's ok? Apparently this is the language of anonymous bathroom sex.

I don't appreciate being harrassed in public restrooms or elsewhere ...

I don't care what anybody does in private, but this business in public restrooms needs to stop.

Even the vaunted FBI was proven to have framed several defendants in Boston, and said defendants, I recall, served 20+ years of hard time or died while incarcerated.


That was a disgusting incident. It also reminds me of the incident in California where they got a 14 year old boy and his friends to confess to murdering his sister. DNA proved it was someone else.

But if the police did him wrong then they did the other people caught up in this sting equally as wrong. I don't see that he was singled out for special treatment. Too many things out of police control had to happen to put Craig in this position.

There are new disclosures that this same "sting" operation netted some 140 other persons, including a 3-M executive and quite a few other high rollers.

They all pleaded "guilty" to charges other than those related to trying to pick up "friends" in bathrooms at the airport.

The likely class action will be extremely sweet to behold....
