This is new to me: Police/prostitute sex okay

[microage97]

On the job perk I guess. Wrap it up is all I can say. :-) I wonder if STD will be labeled as a work place hazard?

two edged sword --- the ladies "test" the cops .... knowing in the past the cops could not engage with them.... pragmatic adaptation to a bogus law

if we do allow prostitution like they do in waikiki - the health department has an obligation - aids is still very real.

workmans comp for overworking the ....... in the military one got "bad time" - grin

@ oink. That's why I said most, not all. Go on YouTube and search police brutality, then tell me they are just our friendly neighbors doing a thankless job.

[Bullwinkle]

Plato had it right as far back as his times. Speaking about cops and politicos "those who most want the job - by that measure are least qualified" its a personality thing - dominance for many of them

psychology today did a study in the 70's - many if not most cops rated high in insecurity..........

I'd favor a lotery to fill the slots - grin

oceangirl, Wow, What a load of crap that was! Most police are just your neighbors attempting to do a pretty thankless job as best they can, within the framework of human frailties. Sure, there are bad cops, and always will be some. Thats one of those never ending battles.

As for the issue of the thread topic, I guess then the main issue for Wao would then be whether or not the police are taking advantage of unethical police discounts or freebies.

Now that I have my feeble attempt at humor out of the way, let me say that I think the issue is pretty stupid. I can think up a justification for the exception but I consider it very inadequate. Personally, I can't understand why anyone would want to take the personal risk entailed by engaging in sexual acts with any members of the sex trade. I know I wouldn't want to personally risk exposure to sexually transmitted disease, much less the subsequent exposure of my family. Someone needs a brain transplant.

Bad law! Bad excuse for it, bad law enforcement, oink is right I can not image expose one or one's family to the trash that does business as hooker's. I don't know even close to all the agency's that conduct sex investigations but I can not think of one that does this. A very poor policy to say the least.

I like it here in the shallow end of the gene pool

Make something illegal, drive it underground, and of course the "enforcers" will have to dirty themselves to prove the activities exist.

When someone is forced into prostitution to support a drug addiction, they become a criminal on both fronts. It would be far far (far!) cheaper to simply treat the drug addiction as a medical problem, and regulate the prostitution as a (private) activity between consenting adults.

Unfortunately that's now how it's done in America... gotta get your "war on".

agreed - many times its the service provider that is the real victim ....... cops very often the perps......in this scenario

This may help explain why so many youngster boys are wanting to be police officers? So many kids in high school these days don't want to even go to college, they want to be cops, or prostitutes. I try to explain to them that they should still plan on going to college, study the criminal justice system and not miss out on possibly the greatest years of their lives before they subject themselves to possibly the worst years of their lives?. Most are wanting to be cops for different reasons today, like wanting new cars, house, more money, and women. Years ago people,(good people) became police officers to try and make a(Better) difference in their communities. Usually these good folks had educations that went further than a average high school. In an area such as Puna, I cant blame these kids for wanting to be cops. The Cops come into the kids classrooms from grade school age on, showing their guns and demanding respect from these kids without shoes. They then drive away in those shiny new cars that are worth more than these kids parents homes, if they have one. Why does so much of our tax dollars go towards these vehicles instead of quality educations for our next generations? After college some could still move home to become a cop if desired. Although a cops life in Puna Hawaii might be almost as good as it gets? If your not retired (sad state of paradise for kids).

P.S. Cops should just be the Pimps for most Prostitutes already, or aren't they?? Free women, free cars, free golf, free gas, air travel, gambling, ect,ect and $60,000 to start not all bad, almost as good as welfare in this state too??. These kids in Puna need 8 man football and college experiences first, before they have to ---- and arrest all their friends and families. Not like Puna has all the crime other cities have? Banks and Murders are not as abundant, yes we have plenty of stolen funds($150,000) or personal items stolen(home invasions) but those folks don't serve time anyway, Marijuana growers do.

P.S.S Where do you think most of our runaway girls (minors) GO? What do you think they end up doing? Not many better opportunities for the young girls in this area either.

The girls will offer the cops anything, in the hope of avoiding arrest- and probably some of them have. Bad Bad system.

add access to drugs - a perfect sociological storm in the making - again the health department may have a better handle on the issue than the "enforcement " end of system - imho
