Cop Ensnared in His Own Net
August 30, 2014
A Palatka, Florida, police detective who once ran for sheriff was arrested during a St. Johns County weekend prostitution sting. He responded to an online posting that was part of a sting operation called “Operation Summer Lovin’.” It seems that “undercover officers acted as possible clients and met with suspects through online contacts.” They also posted solicitations offering “services.” This is one reason, among many, of why a Christian should not be a cop.
The cop was released on $500 bail and resigned. I guess he reaped what he sowed.
Prostitution, of course, should be perfectly legal. See my article “Why Are Brothels Illegal?“
