SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. -- Undercover sex is getting the OK from a Virginia sheriff.
Spotsylvania County Sheriff Howard Smith said he stands by the practice of allowing detectives to receive sexual services in the course of their investigations so they can catch suspects in the act.
Court documents show that four times last month, county detectives allowed women at a massage parlor to perform sex acts on them. In one case, a lawman left a $350 tip. Smith acknowledged the practice is not new.
Smith told The Washington Post that only unmarried detectives are allowed to do the under-the-covers work.
He said actual sex acts are needed to help win prostitution convictions.
"If I thought we could get the conviction without that, we wouldn't allow it," Smith told the newspaper. "If you want to make them, this has to be done."
He said most prostitutes are careful not to say anything incriminating, which makes sexual contact necessary
Several police officials and legal observers say the practice has been tried by other agencies across the country, but they knew of none that still permit sexual contact with suspects as part of prostitution investigations. But many police agencies across the country have banned sexual contact between investigators and suspects.
When police used similar tactics in the past in Montgomery County, Md., the charges ended up being dropped.
Cops get away with everything... What yall think... you already know...

Nope. It doesn't make a difference to me. I hardly went into the 'Current Events' forum when it was created, so I stopped posting articles. I'm fine with the way things are. But when I see something funny/interesting/enlightening, I'm going to post it here.
Okay, it just seemed like you were posting a ton lately, so I thought it might be a sort of subtle protest.
That's kind of stupid. I mean, what if the prostitutes have STDs or something? What is happening to the world these days?
*cannot take anymore news*
*runs away screaming.*
Sorry, GIVE THE MAN BACK CURRENT EVENTS WE MISS IT.

Ok, I've honestly been laughing for a good couple minutes at that line.
None of this is surprising or shocking. People screw. Some people get paid for it. Some people pay for it. Some of those people are cops.

YAY! Someone got the joke!
Honestly I think it makes perfect sense. If you are trying to get them in trouble, you have to prove they have intent to participate in a sexual act. Some of them don't say anything outwardly about their serivces, so you have to catch them in the act. However, going as far as leaving a 350$ is crap to me. Unless you are trying to be undercover. Then, if you act like a loyal customer, you can get more information and maybe find out the bitches pimp, and get your hands on more hoes.
Yep. Brandon posts news a lot but most of the time they're interesting.
Well. That's awkward.

You need to help your local police force and organize a prostitution sting.

well if it gets the bad guys then i guess its okay
That's like breaking the law to prevent it though O_o. Sounds like just a bunch of hypocrites :P.
That is INSANE! What about all this "just" and "righteous" crap that police are supposed to uphold? Apparently, that flew out the window. Disgusting. If the sheriff thinks it's so important to find this prostitutes, he can go screw them himself. Incriminating "evidence" PSH! Sounds like a bunch of hypocritical, horny men to me.
