[QUOTE=GaltGuy; 1764355]Dear public servant,
Thank you for the very difficult, dangerous and often unappreciated job you do. When we need you, we just assume you will come. Which you do.
I wonder, however, if you don't ever question some of the things you are asked to do.
You know, better than anyone, that not all transactions are morally equal. We all also understand that some things that are appropriate in one place are completely inappropriate in others.
Swimwear is fine at the pool. There are few churches, however, where a Sunday morning bikini wouldn't be out of place.
In one way, streetwalking is similar to paying a couple of bills for a girlfriend. In another way, however, they are completely different. My girlfriend and I don't leave condoms on the sidewalk. We might choose to kiss and grind our crotches together on the dance floor of a nightclub. That would be completely inappropriate behavior on the sidewalk at Emory Place.
Seeing a call girl in my home, her home or a discrete hotel room is a heck of a lot closer to sleeping with my own girlfriend than having oral sex in the parking lot at Kroger.
(And even if I'm having oral sex in the parking lot at Kroger, I'm not sure why it is any more illegal simply because I give the girl, or guy, some money.)
If you are so damn concerned about the spread of disease, arrest people for going to the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. Diabetes and botulism kill many more people than AIds, herpes, et al.
Does it ever bother you that you get sent to hotels to arrest two people who are willingly having fun? At what point does prostitution morph into a simple friendship, with the exchange of friendly gifts? I had lunch with a young lady the other day. She and I later kissed and made out. After we made out, I gave her a little spending money to help her get through the week.
Illegal? I guess so. Transactionally immoral? No way.
But you guys did a fine job rounding up a bunch of dangerous criminals in the past day or so. Dangerous girls just like her.
I try to live the golden rule. I haven't punched anyone in decades. I don't steal. I don't cheat on my taxes. I say "please" and "thank you." When I see you at the gas station or Waffle House, I always pick up your tab. Quietly, without you knowing.
But my god, Madeline has gone off the freakin' deep end. I gave her money. Raised money for her. I'm guessing that Padgett would have municipally ignored these sorts of private activities. She's a better mayor than he would be, but this is an area where my tax dollars are wasted.
I would rather put the money in your pension plan than spend it on busting call girls.
Please don't go home at night thinking you are making our community safer or more pleasant. When you meddle in my bedroom, you do the exact opposite.

Besides more than a few LEO'S enjoy the hobby same as us. However few pay for it, but will show a badge for a favor, if you know what I mean.
I guess that means Vice is the new word for chicken shit.
Just the opinion of another taxpayer with a too heavy a load this week.
