Posts: 2316Oh, the shame
When you get down to it, LEO relies primarily on the threat of public shaming in its enforcement methodology. Sure, they have the draconian "promoting" laws that are increasingly misapplied to the individuals on the supply side, but on the demand side the threat is almost entirely that of public exposure. Nobody wants to be on the mugshot list.

Posts: 107Stings in Florida. Public Shaming
Man in Maid Costume Arrested During Prostitution Sting.
The story of David Marsh has all the makings of a good WTF Florida story. He answered an ad placed online by what he thought was a prostitute. He hoped she would dominate him. He agreed to meet at a hotel and rode his bicycle there (he travels by bike because of a previous DUI). When he showed up, he took off his outer layer of clothing to reveal a French maid outfit and a dog collar. Underneath his apron was some sort of male chastity belt. Turns out, however, the prostitute was an undercover deputy, and Marsh was arrested.
Naturally, it made headlines, and the incident has gone viral for obvious reasons.
The arrest was part of a wider prostitution sting in which the Polk County Sheriff's Office arrested 95 people and publicly shamed every single one. Dubbed "Operation Naughty or Nice," the five-day sting netted 33 johns, 50 prostitutes, and 12 people who were arrested on other charges.
Sheriff Grady Judd seems to take a bit too much glee in publicly shaming those arrested, though. The amount of public assistance that arrestees received, their job titles, and marital status were collected and disseminated to the public. Many, it seems, had turned to prostitution just to get by. The Polk County Sheriff's Office might also need some sensitivity training. The department refers to multiple arrestees as "transgender," while others are classified as "transvestite. " The news release is kind of a sad document to read.
These prostitution stings seem to be a regular hobby of many smaller county sheriff's departments in Florida. This sting is at least Polk County's third of the year. Yet the county still seems to have plenty of people engaging in prostitution. Larger Florida law enforcement offices tend to forgo such tactics and concentrate on going after sex-trafficking rings and violent pimps.

Posts: 2316Probably right
We do have a newish D-A. With a new mayor possibly a shift in priorities might occur.

Ever notice you never hear much about conventioneers getting busted? Maybe they're just extra-smart.

Posts: 60I think Nashville will just continue on with the trajectory that was started by Dean during the Bredesen administration no matter who is elected. A new mayor isn't a clean slate across the board. You still have all of the other officials or higher-ups who've been there forever who will keep doing what they know best.

Posts: 2316Mayor Megan Barry
Should Megan Barry become Nashville's mayor, which scenario is more likely?
1. Stereotypical social reformer crusades to save providers from themselves, or.
2. Stereotypical enlightened libertarian lets adults make adult decisions about their bodies?
Not trying to troll. Just haven't followed the arc of her career in a while.

Not really much of a feat. It took about 15 seconds to search the Nashville forums for the word "alcoholic. ".

Posts: 48Alcoholic?
Snap! I think there are varying definitions of an alcoholic. But I'd say anybody who goes to the beer store almost every day, and not to mention openly calls himself an alcoholic, probably meets one or more definitions. Judging by his attitude on this site, RoadWarrior615 definitely has the ego of an alcoholic. And I say that as a recovered alcoholic and drug addict. But I'm still a untreated pussy addict! LOL.

When I post in blue ink like this I'm acting as the admin, that guy will in fact ban your ass.

Well, unless they said they were going to fucking kill me or something.

I reckon I probably shouldn't get into shit like I did here, not because it's unprofessional, we run a pussy board, how professional can we be expected to be? I shouldn't because it's a waste of my time.
People who spout ignorance as if it's fact just piss me off.

Along the lines of the Mark Twain quote: "Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel" would be: "Why get into a pissing match with the admin who can ban your argumentative ass?
