Law Allows Hawaiian Police to Have Sex with Prostitutes

If police in Honolulu get their way, a law permitting them to have sex with prostitutes for the sake of investigation will remain in place.

According to NBC News, there's a state law that lets officers sleep with hookers during investigations. Police say they need the exemption to stay in place to help them do their jobs:

A bill was introduced to abolish the exemption, but police testimony led to its preservation. Many argue that this presents a rather obvious opportunity for misconduct, so why do state lawmakers feel that it's essential for cops to go the whole nine with prostitutes to do their jobs effectively? A revised proposal will go to a Senate committee today.
