Illinois: Police Sued Over Car Seizures
A car wash owner is suing Stone Park, Illinois police for seizing the
cars of innocent customers for cash.

<...>

According to the suit, an undercover female officer would approach male
patrons of the The Blue Dolphin Car Wash saying, "I'll do anything" and
"how much would you give me for..." Even after rejecting the approach,
the customers would be pulled over, ticketed, and their cars seized for
solicitation of a prostitute.

"It's the same story, over and over again, from every single person,"
said attorney Blake Horwitz who will argue the case.

I imagine so. Every inmate I've ever talked to is innocent too.

Apparently most of the customers requested that the female officer
"wax my car".

There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can
result in a fully-depreciated one.

This looks like the best opportunity yet to send some "We make sh.t up in order
to do arrests" cops to jail for their antics. Hopefully will happen.

I think the people who were scammed should be allowed to blow away the
cops as part of the a.sholes punishment. At a minimum they should be
allowed to cut off the cops teeny weeny dicks.

Maybe I'm spending too much time reading Fark, but, for some reason, I
read that as "[a]ccording to the slut ..."
