I think you missed my point, Broome. It wasn't that the person arrested would be released, it is about the fact that every time this happens, the journalists take the boiler plate press release from the police and don't even make an attempt to see what the other side has to say. In any other issue that would make it into the press they would fall all over themselves to get a quote from the person arrested and if they couldn't get a quote they would make note that they tried but the person declined. The unmentioned point is that LE has been proven to lie in these situations in the past and seem to have carte blanche with the press to say anything, whether it's true or not. I would just like to see one newspaper article or TV news story in which the journalist made an attempt to at least ask the person arrested if they are an illegal alien, if they are being forced to work in this business, and if they are forced to stay in the businesses day and night. And I'd like to see just one journalist have the testicular fortitude to ask one if any of the officers patronized the place or accepted any of the services offered. It's not a big deal, but it's a pet peeve of mine that those in the media seem disinterested in seeing if the other side might or might not have something to say.
[QUOTE=Broome333]I would think that the accused would not want the publicity of doing an interview. I mean why go on tape and say something that might come back to haunt you? Its not like the DA is going to read the article and release her just because she says she is innocent. To my suprise I did see a AMP owner on the TV news recently talking about the bust that just took place at their establishment. This was following a bust in Milan IL that you can read about in the Quad city forum in the Iowa section (Its right on the border). My only guess on why the officers had to go back several times is that they didn't get what they were after the first or second time. I have been lucky and always got what I wanted on the first visit, but I have read reports from guys that were told to come back and it would be more fun the next time. The other possibility is that the provider was real good and the UC wanted another piece before he took her down. Who knows?[/QUOTE]
