America's Finest!I don't know what my favorite part of this article is, the quote "their hearts were in the right place" (as well as other body parts) or the law that says police officers can have sex if they are in a dangerous or "life-threatening situation."

Like if a terrorist wont release hostages unless a cop beats him in an all-out sexathon?

That rule makes it nice and easy. Just get some girl to say "I'm dying for [insert euphemism for sex here]..." Bang! Lifesaving situation, indeed!

You know, this might just be the best story to use for recruiting young men into the police force.
"You get paid to use a gun and receive oral sex from women? Where do I sign up?"

"Ma'am, we'll let you have sex with us, just put down the gun."

Skipping the issue of entrapment here I'm very curious as to why an officer would even get into a situation he could have avoided that could result in getting a STD.

A prostitute's mouth is hardly the cleanest place in the world and many STDs are lifelong and some kill. I hope their wives or girlfriends were consulted beforehand but something tells me they weren't.

Prostitution is such a small potato in the big book of crimes I find it very unconvincing that these men risked STDs just for the bust.

I didn't think it was legal to expose yourself if you were a cop. In fact I'm pretty sure of it. Seems kinda fishy.
