But they won't. And the people of Hawaii, at the end of the day, get the government they deserve.

Perfect example is Mayor Bily Kenoi.

(This happened in February, but it recently came to my attention. The police chief was terminated from his $165,000-per-year position.)

Dania Beach, Fla.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office has released video taken from a hidden camera of the arrest of Miami Gardens Police Chief XXXXXXX XXXXXXX.

XXXXXXX was arrested at a Dania Beach hotel and fired last week on suspicion of soliciting prostitution.

According to deputies, an advertisement was placed in the escort section of a website (Backpage) listing a telephone number and price rates, including a two-girl special.

A man, who was later identified as XXXXXXX, called the telephone number provided in the ad. Deputies said an undercover detective answered the call and had several conversations with XXXXXXX.

During the conversations, XXXXXXX said he wanted to do everything and the detective asked him if he had any special requests.

In the video, XXXXXXX arrives at room 423 and is greeted by a woman posing as a prostitute.

XXXXXXX said he wanted the woman to wear heels since he had a fetish for heels.

In the video, XXXXXXX is asked if $100 is OK, to which he agrees. Moments later, he gives her the cash.

XXXXXXX lays on a bed as one of the two women in the room tells him she's going to change.

"So, where you coming from?," the woman said in the video.

"Work," XXXXXXX replied.

Seconds later, BSO deputies enter the room and arrest XXXXXXX. Inside XXXXXXX's right rear pocket were two condoms, according to the report.

After he was released from jail, XXXXXXX said that the stress of the job overwhelmed him. XXXXXXX said his poor decision "was totally out of character".

Someone hide his gun from him, a recipe for suicide.

So called freedom of speech and the press is subjective and always abused. Whether it's one sided reporting to reporting just the highlights without giving the public full news disclosure or infusing the news with 3rd party agenda, even the News is probably controlled by some special interest party bases on how much kala is donated or how much interests in the News company same entities have. This place between the local and state government and public service agencies have their hands in each others pockets playing pocket pool or pulling for kala donations. The hypocrisy that is alive and well in Hawaii Ir perpetuated by years and decades by the Good ol Bruddah Network. The leadership has been quoted to want to do away with such a Network but that would mean pulling their own hands away from the daily lomilomi of politics that creates the many local laws and resolutions meant to create more revenue from the new taxes (Ckean Water Tax? Levied on all the islands residents in order to move kaka around to fund the special interest projects. These are the same hypocrites that call themselves law abiding and god fearing people. Wake up Hawaii!

Unfortunately, it's called Freedom of The Press. They (H-Star / Advertiser) can do it.

Nothing's going to change until the people in Hawaii realize that their state government is one of the most overreaching and stifling in the nation. And let's face it, the only way to get ahead in Hawaii is to jump into politics and get yourself hip-deep in kickbacks, bribes and favors.

But no one complains, no one asks the political establishment why things are so expensive, why there's so many hurdles to small businesses in Hawaii, why no one's ever held accountable for anything and, most of all, why victimless crimes are crimes.

I totally agree. Few of Kaneshiro's short tv interviews even said this is not over.

So, like you mentioned they 5. 0 is going to try other avenues.

Like go after the owner of the buildings these places are in?

Just my 2 cents.

After reading the news reports and forum posts about the AMP raids and the subsequent dismissal of the absurd "sexual assault" charges, here are a few predictions.

(1) It's not over, these devious pigs are just regrouping and rethinking their tactics. At some point in the future, there will be a new attack on consensual adult prostitution, with a different strategy. Indeed, the statement jointly approved by the police chief, the Honolulu prosecutor, the federal prosecutor, the FBI, and Homeland Security specifically says that they're working on a new strategy.

(2) Not even one provider or AMP owner will win any lawsuit and collect any money as a result of what happened. Contrary to popular belief, it's not easy to do so. Plus, they don't want the negative publicity and potential government retaliation that filing lawsuits could cause.




(3) No so-called law enforcement officers or other law enforcement officials will be disciplined as a result of what happened. If you're a law enforcement officer or law enforcement official, you can often avoid any significant consequences for screwing up.

(4) The purported "neighborhood complaints" that supposedly prompted the AMP raids won't be publicly revealed. They could easily be from anti-prostitution activists with an agenda, or even anonymous "complaints" generated by law enforcement officers themselves, but the public will never know.

TV News really have to Stop showing various businesses in their newscast with regards to massage parlor "busts" and then "dismissals" coverage. It's Not Fair to show these establishments with "negative" connotations prior to any charges being upheld!

Breaking News!

All 16 charges dismissed.

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/2...kers-dismissed

Kind of expected this. I was thinking that the arresting officers wouldn't want to testify in open court about how they got naked and were "assaulted" by these women. Especially if they are married or have girlfriends. It's way different than if you have to testify that the woman offered you sex for money. In this case, it's a little harder to explain to people how you needed to get naked and let a 60 year old woman touch your junk in order to make the arrest.

I only wish that the mama of the place that had the UC in his state of undress, would send a photo to all the other AMP's so that they could post a glossy of him at the door.

Absolutely no entry for him.

If the Police get stupid about it, then show his photo in all his glory on the internet. An end of a career in undercover.

The mama's need to learn that if the Police want to gain entry for arrests, they need to tell the Police to bring a warrant.

Fight back, don't be bullied.

That is a great idea. The AMPs should place high quality video cameras in the lobby and post the pictures of UC officers on the Internet. Posting it here would be good too. This would deter UC officers from entering. Maybe place a sign that says all activities in common areas are recorded and a any police officer, on duty or off, will have his picture posted on USASEXGUIDE.

There's nothing better than a Lawsuit against all of the Stations that broadcasted the pictures of these places.

I'm surprised that the Lawyers haven't thought about this. The TV stations do this all the time with people that haven't been charged with crimes, just arrested.

Trial by media.

Preaching to the choir, brah. Send this comment to Star-Advertiser's letters to the editor and to HNN's Facebook and twitter.

The best part is watching the undercover video of the police officer stripping down naked in the hallway.

Too bad it doesn't show his face in clear view! LOL.
