More police absurdity, this time from the Hawaii 5-0 Vice Squad:
Let me see if I can explain the position of the Hawaii police: it's against department policy for undercover police to have sex with prostitutes. However, if they do it then they will do it responsibly. Therefore it's of the utmost importance that they are allowed to have sex with prostitutes so that they can put a stop to sex with prostitutes.
The exemption has recently been hotly debated in the HI legislature, where the House of Representatives upheld it due to pressure from the police. The HI Senate doesn't see it quite the same way, however. After intense, closed door sessions the police and the chair of the judiciary and labor committee have reached an agreement: should the bill pass there will be no more sex with prostitutes for the police.
So don't worry, guys: you can still get a handjob before making the arrest!

Honolulu police officers have urged lawmakers to keep an exemption in state law that allows undercover officers to have sex with prostitutes during investigations, touching off a heated debate. Authorities say they need the legal protection to catch lawbreakers in the act. Critics, including human trafficking experts and other police, say it's unnecessary and could further victimize sex workers, many of whom have been forced into the trade. |

“There are other parts of the exemption that will remain and that includes sexual contact,” Sen. Hee said. |
