Cops: Quadriplegic attorney found "nice guys" for prostitutes

The 66-year-old lawyer, who contracted polio when he was 8, received free or reduced-price sex in exchange for finding "nice guys" -- gentlemen who were sure to pay up -- for prostitutes. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)

It's the economy, everyone has to moonlight these days

Jesus Christ, can we please legalize adult prostitution?! I get so angry reading about these SWAT style tactics against consenting adults who simply want an orgasm from an obliging woman. Give me a break! The gov't should stay the hell out of adult consensual affairs that harm no one. California is making progress in legalizing THC for the potheads, let's start making progress on this victimless crime. And yes, it is victimless. Cops who make a living off of enforcing this 'crime' are fond of saying 'yeah but neighborhoods with prostitutes also have a lot of drug dealing, larceny, battery, and robbery' well this is clear red-herring b/c prostitution in and of itself is victimless!

vksjk- Most of the cops who say that work in the inner city and see the prostitutes who hook for drugs. I personally think that adult prostitution SHOULD be legalized, because once it's made legal, you can keep better track of it and help the girls who are doing it for drug money...Get them off the drugs and away from the dirtbag scum pimps who get them hooked, and their lives get much better...
Pot..come on...gateway drug my ass....I'd much rather deal with a pothead during a domestic dispute than a drunk any day! Most potheads do...POT, nothing else, yeah, there are a few that will do anything they can get their hands on, but they aren't really potheads...They are druggies who also use pot! I can't think of a single time that I had to wrestle a pothead to the ground and take a weapon away from him...Legalize it, and get it over with...It's gonna happen eventually anyway, why screw up peoples lives for however long it takes till it happens...

This guy must be the most inoffensive pimp in existence. All he wanted was a bit of sex in exchange for referral and screening services. His disability undoubtably makes it difficult to get sex through legal channels (or even with Rosy Palms).

Police time would be better spent cracking down on pimps who hook prostitutes on drugs, threaten them with violence, and take their money.

Legalize Screwing/Tokin

It is just those evil socialist police trying to prevent capitalism in one of its purest forms.

@ Take no Prisoners, yes, indeed, legalize them both!

[vksjk]

No johnjohn, It's fascist cops buttressing the ever encroaching police-state.

Legalize brothels (and do health checks) and legalize weed... AND TAX THEM BOTH!!!

... I'm not really an economic genius, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

... with some weed and a hooker.

Quadriplegics have all the luck.

This is proof of the golden rule that one good turn deserves another.

So they call those guys attorneys now? When I was a kid they called them pimps.

Did he try to sell the services of the picnic table and the family dog.

when I was seven years old I thought freedom was a thing to be protected in the U.S.A.. I still get upset about it. New laws which take your freedom away bit by bit are enacted every year. prostitution was once legal.
