CORRUPTION - THE BAD APPLES WHO DON'T SEEM TO
FOLLOW THE LAWS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ENFORCE... |

| Wonder
what all this police corruption has to do with
prostitution? Why should you care about this issue
anyway? How does it impact your life and the lives
of those you love? You might think it doesn't, but
it has everything to do with our criminal justice
system and impacts everyone's community, rich or
poor. First of all, police are the ones to enforce the laws against drugs, gambling and prostitution. Because the 'victim' and the 'perpetrator' are one and the same and there are so many people engaging in vices, it is not possible for the limited number of law enforcement agents in the US to arrest each and everyone who engages in prostitution- be it the provider or the client- or who gambles illegally, or who uses or sells or provides drugs. Unlike crimes where there is a 'real victim' who asks for help, vice laws can only be enforced arbitrarily and selectively. Throughout history, such laws and selective enforcement has always engendered corruption- from the law enforcement agents to the judges and prosecutors, to the corrections officers, to the parole and probation officers. There cannot be justice when corruption is allowed to flourish. All of these things are related, and one cannot discuss the issues of prostitution, drugs, gambling, violence against women, rape and sexual assault, false arrests, domestic violence, etc. without including those who not only enforce the laws but who break the laws they enforce. I have been accused of 'hating cops'- but I do not. I despise bad cops, but not all cops behave like thugs. I have never understood the mentality that says when a cop shoots and kills an unarmed person whom the cops claim "reached for their waistband" (when no gun could be found on which to blame the cops' actions), it is acceptable despite the fact that the individual who was shot and killed by the cop committed no crime (except to be in the wrong place at the wrong time)- while these people ignore or condone the blatant crimes committed by law enforcement agents and allow cops who actually rape children or adult women to go without punishment. Apparently we condone the death penalty for ignoring a cop's command that may or may not have been heard by the "suspect/ victim" but probation or keeping one's job for committing a serious crime that would send anyone else to prison for decades. If someone believes in law and order, from where comes the mentality of not wanting to hold bad cops accountable for their crimes? Do those who view 'victimless crime' laws as important to uphold and enforce not understand the consequences of selective enforcement? Or what happens when bad cops are not prosecuted or punished for their behavior... how it results in more bad cops? Do they care? I really don't know the answer to that. Facebook and other social media sites are filled with people who want to absolve all cops from their crimes and tell me that I must hate cops because I call attention to their crimes. Do they not understand what it does to a good cop to know that his or her corrupt partner who has broken more laws than the people they arrest gets away with those crimes... knowing that if they report their criminal colleague, they will be the ones to suffer serious consequences from violating the blue code of silence? Do they not know that left unchecked, the "few bad apples" will spoil the entire department? |

| PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THE SAME COPS CAN BE FOUND IN MULTIPLE SECTIONS OF THIS SITE BECAUSE THEY COMMITTED CRIMES IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. SOME CRIMES WERE COMMITTED AT THE SAME TIME, OTHER CRIMES WERE COMMITTED AFTER THEY WERE ALREADY CAUGHT THE FIRST TIME. SOME CRIMES WERE COMMITTED AS PART OF THE OTHER CRIMES THEY WERE COMMITTING- BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT CRIMES, I AM GIVING THEM MORE THAN ONE SPACE ON THIS SITE. | |||||
