“the woman smiling and resting her foot on his shoulder at one point.”

Either the woman had very long legs, or the gentleman was height challenged.

And you know what they say about short guys with big feet and noses don’t you?

Berliner Park is made up of many softball fields. At one time, it was the largest softball park in the nation - maybe it still is. The last decade or so has seen the south of downtown Columbus park turn into a hangout for homos that want to meet during lunch for a nooner. I’d say several times a year there are news reports of inappropriate behavior. It's sad, many years ago it was a fun place to watch and play amateur sports. Now it's a place most fear to be near.

As a side note, the park is named after the late Lou Berliner, the long-time amateur sports reporter for the Columbus Dispatch, a holocaust survivor and a relative of my ex wife.

Yup.

Columbus police utilized this topless woman to snare this man

How much is the government paying for her services?

Based on the video, he was sitting down cross-legged (or “indian style”, if you will), and she was lying down, resting on her elbow, and raised her foot to rest it on his shoulder.

MISLEADING HEADLINE ALERT!

A man who pulls out Mr. Wiggles on the invitation of a topless, adult woman is not a pervert. He may be drunk, he may be stupid, he may be fuddled with lust ... but the natural, non-perverse, outcome is for adult men to be eager for sex with adult women.

From the article: "They do not need to manipulate a situation where temptation may overcome even people who would normally never think of committing a crime."

I see the problem. Every single state in the union has countless sanctions for things like a traffic cop at speed trap. That sanction doesn't even involve an act of will, just an obvious act of government greed. So WTF, at least the government has found a willful act.

The police need to be careful. Pretty soon there are going to be people who will be trying to flush out would-be “police brutalizers”. And it will all be caught on tape and become very expensive for the cities and officers.

Of all places, Columbus, Ohio is the last place where I would've thought that was legal.

It is legal in a lot of places. It just isn't a well known. And even the places where it is explicitly illegal, people have had success challenging it since a woman can ask the judge why it is illegal for a woman to remove her shirt but it isn't illegal for a man to remove his shirt. Additionally, many of the places where it is illegal have clauses that state "for the purpose of sexual gratification" or something similar. Obviously topless sunbathing wouldn't meet that clause. But perverts flashing in public would.

According to a recent Ohio appellate case, State v. Bowshier, 2007 -Ohio- 5364 (Ohio App. Dist.2 10/05/2007, entrapment requires two elements: “the criminal design originates with the officials of the government” — check — “and they implant in the mind of an innocent person the disposition to commit the alleged offense and induce its commission in order to prosecute” — check. Sure seems like entrapment to me.

NOTICE: I am NOT your lawyer, and this is NOT legal advice. Do not act or forebear from acting based on the information in this post!

Only the prosecutor and police force should be embarrassed.

It would have been something if the firefighter was a cop and arrested her on the spot after she asked him to unzip.

Also, if this is entrapment, I hope he seeks criminal charges and civil remedies under one of my favorite clubs when I read such jaw-dropping stories, 18 USC 242, Violation of Civil Rights Under Color of Law (normal police and gov’t immunity does NOT apply).

“However it seems that topless sunbathing attracts perverts and makes me wonder why it’s legal.”

Ever been to Europe? Not just topless is allowed all over the place, but the whole kit.

They don’t seem to have huge problems with perverts over there, either, I’m not sure why.
