It's tough for a cop to go out and receive a hand job from a hooker, but hey, someone's gotta do it. That's the defense of selfless Northern Virginia police officers who solicit sex act from prostitutes — and who go the whole nine yards in order to create an airtight case against the ladies in question (women who, since they commit a consensual and thus victimless 'crime,' shouldn't be hounded and prosecuted at all — but that's another discussion, I guess).
[D]etectives 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.
Smith also says it's nothing outrageous — that the practice is analogous to undercover cops procuring drugs from a dealer. The argument doesn't hold up, of course. In a drug sting, the cops may buy the drugs but don't, as a rule, consume them.
But enough hairsplitting. Let's just pay homage to the detectives who have to undergo the horrible sex ordeal in a brave effort to combat lawlessness. These hardy souls are nothing if not dedicated:
A woman known only as Mimi gave the detectives a bath, a brief massage and then performed a sex act on them. For her services, Mimi was paid a $50 tip. ... Police made two more visits with similar results.
Just how you'd like your tax dollars to be spent, right?


Rogier, so sorry, but your indignation is misplaced this time.
To the contrary, this is exactly what our poor harassed country needs. Everywhere our liberties, our traditions and privileges, plain old common sense and the basic right to be left alone are under siege from hordes of so-called “public servants”, from “activists”, and from crazy women who lost their kid in some accident or other, and now insist on using legislation to punish the rest of us for it. They are being undermined by so-called “experts” pushing freaky, outrageous assaults on everybody’s freedom of choice. They are under direct assault from politicians in white coats, who want to turn this nation into a PC gulag in the name of “health and safety”, and continually disregarded by legions of cops, agents and enforcers who need new villains every day to justify their departmental budgets.
If only they all WOULD raid their budgets for a trip to the whorehouse! The first thing that would do is slow the assorted avengers down. A mix of personal satisfaction and physical exhaustion might just take the foam-at-the-mouth edge off of their assorted crusades. (Go back to those Virginia cops; I’ll bet they didn’t make many arrests on the nights they got serviced.) Secondly, the ladies of the night, God bless ‘em, ain’t cheap. How much happier we all would be, if the various budgets, grants, and foundations were funding regular romps at the riding academies instead of the dreary, cheerless march toward a Better World we are all saddled with now! There would be a far better chance of that money coming back, through the stream of commerce, to regular folks; and by the same token, that much less money available for all these chromic jihads against everyone else’s little pleasures and peace of mind.
Which would you rather have? FBI agents paying for the Kama Sutra at a Nevada “ ranch”, or examining the library records to see if you checked it out lately? Highway patrol waving you down at a “sobriety checkpoint”, or getting a “wine & oil rubdown” at a convenient massage parlor?
When the government becomes everyone’s enemy, corruption is the honest man’s only hope....
