Greenville County, SC's persecution of the Platinum Plus Gentleman's Club has helped clue me in that I could have been getting paid to go to strip club's all of these years. Greenville took $26,000 of "forfeited" money was I believe the way it was listed and gave to undercover officers over the course of the year long investigation to spend on alcohol, lap dances, and some private time in the VIP room. Greenville County threw the book at the club and the girls that worked there. The charges varied from prostitution to exposure and performing illegal sex acts.
Greenville County spent over $100,000 in their prosecution of Platinum Plus including $80,000 in legal fees. One of the lawyer's watched ten hours worth of lap dance video in order to try to find examples of wrong doing. The first dancer on trial one a unanimous verdict in being acquitted. Her lawyer kicked the prosecution's ass and shredded their case. Platinum Plus has been fined $100,000 and a representative in the prosecutor's office described the situation as "almost a win."
It is now coming out that the officers were drunk (at taxpayer expense although the money was labeled as "forfeited"), committed sex acts of their own, and acted sleazier than the worst of the customers. I wonder if they are going to be fired or put on trial or even charged with the smallest of infractions?
I want to start my own Strip Club Investigative Task Force so I can investigate all of the wrong doings. Let the officers go back to fighting real crime and have a go at all of the unsolved murders, assaults, and robberies. Let me and my expert team investigate the dark underworld of the strip clubs and I promise we will get to the bottom of this.
