First, do you consider prostitution a legitimate way to make a living?

Define "legitimate." Do I think that because a girl has become a prostitute she therefore forfeits all of her other rights? Of course not. You have no more right to rape a prostitute than you have to rape anybody else.

If he'd have given her 20 bucks instead of her suggested retail of 30 is it still rape?

It all depends on whether the specific sex act was consensual. Raping a prostitute and throwing $10,000 at her is still rape if she didn't consent.

If a prostitute gets stiffed of her pay has she been raped?

No. She's been cheated and robbed, not raped, as long as the sex was consensual. This is a pretty clear distinction. However, if the sex wasn't consensual, then it's rape.

"Go preach that on child molester threads"

I see, so in your eyes a prostitute is the same as a child molester even though, unlike child molesters, prostitutes don't harm anyone but themselves. Thats pretty twisted.

BTW if you raped a child molester you would still get more time than this police officer.

"It's called "theft of services."

It's also called Rape and blackmail. If she wasn't willing and he was using his position as an officer to pressure her to have sex under a threat of prosecution, that's rape and blackmail.

[Alter Kaker]

Prostitution is a crime and committing crimes makes one susceptible to bad cops.

Prostitution is a misdemeanor in the overwhelming majority of situations. So a woman caught speeding is to blame if she's raped by the cop puling her over? How about someone throwing an excessivel loud party? You're ok with cops raping those responsible? Where exactly do you go come in and say rape starts being ok?

[processing please hold]

Yes. Prostitutes can be raped, sexually abused and murdered, just like any other woman.

Our resident rapist-support group should also note that child molestation, unlike prostitution, is a felony punisheable by decades in prison. Prositution is almost always a misdemeanor.

They're not so much rapist support as cop suckers. there is a strong neonational socialist contingent on fr that feels that cops should not have to follow the laws that the rest of us do.

"It's also called Rape and blackmail."

I was responding to a guy who said he didn't see the problem. I just formulated a quick and dirty explanation that was not meant to cover everything. Your indignation should be directed at the party I was responding to, who obviously believes prostitutes are sub-human.

"filing a false time" card in union speak is theft of time and theft is usually ample case for temination

I'd bet 50 bucks that this guy does a few weeks of counseling, they declare him "cured", and a police union in another state fights successfully for this guy to get a job there.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yep, drunk cops don't get caught for DUI until they crash.

My daughter isn't a prostitute.

That was my point, einstein. As long as it's someone else's daughter, it's OK. Right?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Since a cop is in a position of authority and is supposed to be an example out there on the streets, I would expect him to get punished harder than the average guy. But dirty cops usually get off light.

I saw a story out of Dallas where a cop caught a guy who was running from him on foot, shot him in the back while he was on his knees with hands held high, and then pistol-whipped him after he was cuffed. The cop didn't know that there was a news copter hovering a mile away getting everything on camera. The kicker is: since the perp lived and didn't have any permanent injury, the cop was convicted of misdemeanor assault, was fined a few hundred dollars with no jail time, and was fired. The cop successfully sued to get his job back with full back pay. Makes me sick.

Ahhh, the ole no-show job trick that the mafia made famous. This cop must've pissed somebody off. He was probably talking trash about the boss within earshot of him or pulled over the boss's beer buddy and wouldn't take back the ticket.

It doesn't seem like rape to me. Rape implies something precious was taken. This is like stealing a loaf of bread that was already for sale.

I had thought that I had seen the dumbest statement on a thread earlier today, but this beats it by a long shot... "Something precious?" He threatened her with arrest if she didn't perform oral sex on him. Was this rape? If it wasn't voluntary, then yes, it was. More importantly, he should also be charged with extortion and malfeasance, along with using his authority in illegal ways. Given the fact that we give police officers the ability to use deadly force under color of law, we should hold them to higher levels of expectations.

And BTW, "stealing a loaf of bread that was already for sale" is actually a crime. If you don't believe me, I suggest you try it sometimes. Most stores don't look too kindly on shoplifters.
