Lap dances on the taxpayer dime

2013-10-11 23:41:01.419774+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Seattle Post Intelligencer: Skinvestigation claim: Detective gets 130 lap dances, makes no arrests. For some reason apparently the FBI, a national law enforcement agency, is going after prostitution in some Seattle strip clubs:

Tvedt also alleged that one undercover detective visited Talents West clubs more than 160 times during the investigation, paying somewhere between $16,835 and $18,170 to the clubs. The officer, Tvedt claimed, received "over 130 documented VIP dances and an undetermined additional number of undocumented dances."

Those dances, she claimed, did not prompt a single arrest.

Kinda gives an answer to what law enforcement is really going after when they make a big noise about wanting to clamp down on "trafficking".
