I hope no one got caught up in this.
The reason behind the cpd no arrest policy
Another similar event transpired in 2016 when two additional girls were arrested for prostitution related charges and sent to Cuyahoga County Jail. Once at the county they began to express their frustrations to their attorneys and to the girls in their housing areas. One of the girls alleged "the officer had me give him a blow job and then he arrested me after, what the fuck is that?" while another girl told her attorney "I was used as an informant more than 50 different times, given money to buy drugs, to bust johns and I would actually have sex with him, he only arrested me because I stopped being an informant".
Right around the same time that these allegations were arising the Cleveland Police issued the following statement:
"All prostitution (sex for money) related Vice enforcement shall cease immediately. " And, "Advise your Detectives under no circumstances shall they have a suspected prostitute get into a vehicle with them or have any physical contact with. Police. ".
City Spokesman Dan Ball issued a statement that said only, ". The Division is in the process of revamping its policies. " In fact, the memo also says, "We are formulating a policy that will cover procedures for these types of details. " And, "The policy will define clear, concise and lawful direction. ".
It has been widely known in the streets and even the public domain (see our resources below) that Detective John Graves has in the past been alleged to falsify testimony (see: Beasley), resort to intimidation (violence ie; Wendell Jolly) and take advantage of local area prostitutes to beef up arrests (using informants more than 100 different times, and various allegations). His outstanding jacket is matched only by his record number of arrests and ability to worm his way into any male or female prostitutes world & drug dealers den. He's been able to do this by building up an amazing track record that apparently was made possible by stretching the "thin blue line".
