LEO's, what do you think ?
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - February 5, 2008 -- State police engaged in "outrageous" conduct when they paid an informant to have sex with employees of a spa on four separate occasions as part of a prostitution investigation, a judge has ruled.
State police investigating the Shiatsu Spa in North Whitehall Township paid the informant $180 and gave him money to pay for sexual acts in the spa in 2006.
"We conclude that the decision to send the citizen into Shiatsu Spa on four occasions for a smorgasbord of sexual activity violates the principles of fundamental fairness," Lehigh County Judge Robert L. Steinberg wrote.
Opens a whole new can of worms doesn't it. I feel this will be applied to all investigations of illegale activity, any "sting" operations but definately any thing drug related.

I suppose if you think about it is is unfair...to the rest of the guys in Allentown that didn't get an all expense paid ticket! 0 -
Unethical and immoral. The act does not have be committed for the crime to have occurred. In other words, once the deal was struck, money for sex, the crime of conspiracy to committ prostitution was committed. The fact that this informant actually engaged in the act and was paid to do so by the police is outrageous. A good defense lawyer could have the whole thing thrown out. You never see the decoys on COPS getting it on! 0 -

Bondai left on his own, after threatening to turn in (still not sure to who) everybody who disagreed with him, and sue a few others......0 -
No earthly reason to approve of this.
Patriot Act shenanigans for national security I'll swallow, to bust a massage parlor... never!0 -
Bondai was a nut-case.He came here looking for trouble, and got more than he could handle. If the FLEA needs volunteers to go check-out the Palm Beach "rub-n-suck" establishments. I am more than willing to volunteer.[;)] 0 -
