I heard in Michigan news about the sting operation in Kent County (Grand Rapids) in which undercover cops would approach men in parks and ask if they were interested in gay sex. The gay men would then be hauled in for indecent behavior, even though only words were exchanged.
They cops say they are making sure the parks remain family-friendly. And if the action is actually illegal, well, officers and their superiors are rarely reprimanded. Alas, the cost to the victims can be huge, including being placed on a Sex Offender Registry.
Timothy Kincaid of Box Turtle Bulletin is sick of it. Too much police brutality. Not enough accountability of the cops. Kincaid proposed a Police Brutality Offenders Registry. If you are surly at a citizen, if someone dies, if an officer claims an action that would land someone else in jail is "justifiable" they go on the Registry. People considering moving into an area can check the PBOR and decide if the rate of brutality is too high.
