So, are you opposed to a national defense with intelligence operatives who deceive our enemies? As for myself, I'm glad they "lie" to the enemy.
As with any group of people, there are ethical and unethical cops. There are those who get in this field for the right reasons and wrong reasons. Hopefully the former in both cases outweighs the latter. Personally, I believe it does.
Lewis, prostitution is not a victims crime. Lives are destroyed. Spirits are crushed. There is a black market trade to supply the girls that johns create a demand for. I don't care to be part of a society that turns its head and says it will always happen.

Should we just talk to child molesters too? Where do we draw the line between going out and being wittnesses and administering justice? By all means, go out and talk to these people. They need help. But if they get caught by the cops, then too bad - they broke the law, now pay the time. And of course I agree with rehab etc.Okay we are not all going to agree. I have been out there and involved with this type of stuff. I am living proof that Jesus can heal a chronic alcoholic and a chronic drug addict. And a ferocious womanizer. Who traded drugs and cash for sex or just plain free sex. I am living proof that Jesus works. When I tell my stories to the addicts and prostitutes I get their attention, why ? Because they know that I was just like them and found a way out. It makes Jesus very attractive. Jailing them does not change them a change in the heart and mind does. For years I ran around Philadelphia and Georgia doing wrong, even after I was saved, but then I surrendered and when I did that, letting God know that the woman and the drugs was to big for me, a change came. Man can't change anything as far as humans go, but God can. I noticed that the addicts and prostitutes and the alcoholics and the homosexuals rather see and hear someone who has overcome, rather than someone who has never been through what we have been through. There is a cop who got a award last year, why because he talks to the people and only arrests people if he has to. He makes friends and tries to help the addicts and the prostitutes, because he knows that jail is not always the answer. He gets involved with the community this makes him a hero.
I have run into many cops that don't care if you live or die.
That was an interesting article. I don't disagree that police generally engage in deception, and I think some deception to bring justice is ok. Some obviously is not. But, if you are innocent, you don't really have to worry. Of course there are some cases where corrupt cops are involved, and an innocent person is prosecuted. Sometimes this can happen even with a good cop.Policemen are trained to lie, even a "small lie" is a lie, and a liar is a liar no matter who they are.
Truth or Consequences
Police lie. It's part of their job. They lie to suspects and others in hopes of obtaining evidence. These investigative lies cover a wide web of deception - a web that can get tangled. Some investigative lies are legal, some are not, and some generate significant disagreement amongst courts, prosecutors, the public and officers themselves.
There are serious consequences here. Officers can:
•Be sanctioned by the courts.
•Be sued.
•Be disciplined in the job.
•Lose the public's confidence.
•Have evidence suppressed, a case dismissed and a criminal freed.
Proper training in this complex arena is critical.

My point is that I would like to see justice being administered. If that involves a little deception on the cops' side, then I don't mind that. A good deal of these criminals are involved in much bigger deception anyway.
You know what I don't like? A society that empowers criminals.Liars are liars, and when we give them reign we deserve what comes next, and so ques sera sera. Let me warn you though, you're not gonna like it.

i would go into a rant on the tsa but i wont.well most of the cops here know me from me and others working on their assigned car. they see me on or off duty and will talk to me. one of them is a close friend in my church.Jason man can do evil everywhere and he does. Sometimes you don't know the heart of a man until he does something. We have some very good law officers out here. And you have some evil ones and that is a given. And it is not a wise thing to think that there isn't. It gets proved all the time, somewhere in the USA every week some cops get in trouble for something.
Yeah you are right, don't do the crime. But when you are a drug addict or some of these women that have no education, they are going to do what it takes.
And this has to do with "Sting operations" in what way???
The LAW is the LAW, and if you BREAK the LAW, you're a CRIMINAL, and there's a penalty to be paid, and whether you get nailed in a "Sting", or "Fair and square" - isn't important one way or the other.
