You guys got to be smarter than this right?
[QUOTE=Wakko69;2099544]I Just received the following text "The person calling from (808 ? Nikki's stolen phone) is using a stolen phone and has committed 3 class see felonies. Your phone number has been turned over to HPD along with the rest of the call logs from this phone since April 29. This is an active investigation.
It was sent to me and 10 others.[/QUOTE]1. Law Enforcement cannot legally use evidence that it has collected, if its part of an open investigation. Doing something like using a prostitutes cell phone to bait John's would violate the prostitutes right to a fair trial. It would taint the so-called bullshit investigation.
2. Law Enforcement cannot legally inform random individuals of any pending charges. It's actually defamation.
3. Any LEO in their right mind is not going to mention anyone 'committing' anything for a case that is not actually adjudicated yet. If its an open investigation, that's not a conviction. Innocent until proven guilty right? IE if was legit, and this is in pipe dream, a LEO would say "This person is suspected of...". Any media, showing otherwise would be almost an immediate mistrial, if it didn't get that far, no prosecutor is even going to file charges. Felonies need to be doled out by the Prosecuting Attorney.
This is all completely ignoring the fact that for the most part HPD and Vice don't give a flying fuck about any John they don't catch in the act. Burner phones? Paranoid bullshit.
This is HPD we are talking about!

So nothing they do will ever surprise me. I never seen so many freaking cops until I got here. Fuckers are everywhere!
