Sadly, most deranged people always seem to believe that they know how they would act under a certain circumstance, yet surprise themselves when they act in accordance with their nature. The law, by all attempts wishes to govern and condemn by denying human nature, yet refuse to own up when they act according to their own. We do not voluntarily pay to support hypocrisy; expecting ethical and beneficial judiciaries. It does not appear that such abilities even fall within the nature of law as we know it, so law forms a line. Outrage is ALWAYS warranted.

The problem is that by creating any type of scenario that offers a
opportunity that an individual would not normally come across IS
entrapment. Unless that individual wound NORMALLY go out of their way to
find such an opportunity it's a crime perpetrated by LAW, and hence law
needs answer for it's actions. Since no in law believes they are
responsible to law, the law is acting criminal whenever and wherever it
can.

My ex-husband was a firefighter and exposed himself to all of our neighbors. In my opinion that is just what fireman do. Nothing suprising there.

Wow, how nice of the cops to teach us "life lessons" on taxpayer money.
You mean, if a pretty young thing comes up and chats me up
I better run and hide? Whew! Thanks. I used to think it was better to
stick around and chat and enjoy the possibillities.

I agree with you all, I know someone who is in that park anywhere from 5 to 6 days a week and saw the whole thing go down. The funny Part is that they are still wasting the taxpayers money by having undercover cars in the park. I can spot the under cover car easily and that means so can the real pervs. I feel that the columbus police deptartment is in the wrong and need to pay for the wrong doing that they did.

Good point; ultimately men and women aren't equal in every single tiny respect, or we'd all have co-ed toilets and showers, etc. Topless women are a huge excitement factor, even in liberal europe or canada (most porn focuses on that along with the other stuff). Chances are, half the men are staring pretty hard at topless women where allowed, just for you ladies to ponder if considering it...

Let me get something straight. It's legal for a woman to go topless in Columbus. It's probably also legal for a couple to kiss and embrace in public in Columbus. So is it legal for a man to caress the naked breasts of a topless woman? Or does touching them cross a line?

After all, if the reason going topless is legal is because it is discriminatory, then they are claiming that there is no difference between a topless man or topless woman. If she can rub his chest in public, then he can probably rub hers.

This is a clear-cut case of entrapment as the woman ASKED him to commit a crime, he didn't do it on his own volition. By asking him to expose Mr. Happy, she also committed a crime: criminal solicitation (a felony). Without her direct illegal solicitation, no crime would have taken place. This is not crime prevention, it's crime invention. That makes it entrapment.

Why is it that the police can commit crimes like criminal solicitation, a violation of their pledge to uphold the law, without repercussions? If it is illegal for me to solicit someone to commit a crime, how can it be legal for the police to do the same? You can't uphold the law by breaking it, even with the best of intentions like getting criminals off the street. When we allow the police to freely commit the very crimes they are suppose to enforce, the concept of law enforcement itself is destroyed.

I'm actually much more interested in thr woman. How did the cops find her and what's her phone number?

Sounds like it was set up specifically to catch a straight man in the act.

As a former Columbus resident, I'm pretty sure Berliner Park (near German Village) is a gay cruising area. I'm guessing most complaints to police were about gay public sex. After all, the story says, "based on video footage taken by cops who were targeting men having sex or masturbating in the park".

"Any two-bit, ambulance-chaser, maggot lawyer should be able to make mince meat out of this charge, flip it to a major lawsuit with 80% contingency fees, and retire."

I agree, a good lawyer should be able to get this man off quickly.

and is the park any "cleaner" for this bust? i doubt it. This guy was not part of the problem they were allegedly trying to solve. A waste of time and taxpayer dollars.

The fireman's behavior is shameful but so is the police's. I think that the fireman should find out the name of the prostitute that solicited him and his defense should be to publish her name. Her children and grandchildren down to the fourth generation should know that she was a prostitute. The chief of police is her pimp and his children and grandchildren should also know that he was a pimp or better yet a whoremonger.

Sounds more like Playboy Channel's "Totally Busted" to me.

Can I legally walk down the streets of Columbus with my breasts exposed?(okay, the guy probably would have giggled and kept walking or would have given me the name of a plastic surgeon)

Breasts are considered "junk" ,just as was the man's privates...This is over the top, and I am thinking highly unethical if not illegal, all in the name of cleaning a park up...

Get a room, dude! And it sounds like the Columbus Police Department has way too much time on its hands. Maybe the City Council should revisit the Department's staffing levels?

Garrison should not have done what he did .
Having said that we have a Mayor and city govt that is HeJJ and gone over the left field fence.
The police chief is as old as dirt and about as effective as Geroge Carlin is couth .
That city resources were spent on this sting is not a surprise.
Mayor Coleman is a 'progressive' and insists that Columbus is a "safe" city and that we need to do more to combat "global warming." In short the man is delusional .

True, its just a bit awkward that the cops are using nudity and sexual comeones to target people for showing their naughty bits.

I would think those partaking of the right to expose themselves in public might find it a wee bit hypocritcal using their nudity to get someone busted for for exposing themselves.

Flensor - Contrary to your stmt. Canada's federal and provincial legislatures do make the laws. In court cases involving discrimination suits for example, the Courts decision impacts and implores Parliament to adjust the laws accordingly. This is a weighty issue now in Canada with the propensity of groups to access so-called human rights commissions and the courts. Parliaments are bound by these rulings to in fact rewrite the laws. Is it different in the USA?

Are you trying to tell me you CAN'T whip out Mr. Happy in a public park?
