While prostitution may be legal in most of Europe, it’s still very much illegal in these United States. The reason for this is a mystery to most Americans and many feel prostitution laws are out dated and should be reviewed. However it’s unlikely this will happen because the general belief held by most prudes is that prostitution is unsafe.
Never mind that it would be more economical and safer for everyone involved if brothels were legalized, taxed and regulated, as demonstrated by countries such as Switzerland. That’s just crazy talk!
A police chief from Minneapolis learned just how complicated the issue of prostitution in America can be when he was arrested while trying to solicit sexual acts for money using a popular classifieds website. 45-year-old Steven Smith was caught offering to pay $150 for sex with an additional $50 for it to be without a condom.
That’s some fine police work there, Smith.
Common sense would dictate that a high profile police chief who was busted after flagrantly breaking the law would hand over his badge and accept the consequences. Smith, on the other hand, decided to be sneaky.
Instead of flashing his badge and walking away from the arrest scot-free like every other dirty cop, he decided not to identify himself as a police officer and was simply waited until he was released. The chief then returned to his job and acted like the whole thing never happened.
His plan worked for about a month before a cop from the Coon Rapids department that made the arrest recognized him. Hawkward!
After being exposed on his home turf, Smith had no choice but to resign from his job- a entire month after he was initially arrested. This directly conflicts a state law requiring police in Minnesota to alert their department within days if they are arrested. Womp womp.
Coon Rapids Police Chief Brad Wise took this opportunity to warn people not to break the law in his jurisdiction.
“You will be arrested no matter who you are.”
