1. The Case Of The Clever Pimp
1
The man was either demented or was just pretending to be one.
In a professionally conducted sting ray operation, he had been caught, carrying out a very high scale prostitution ring.
He was the chief of this ring, but this was no ordinary pimp. His clientele ranged from rich businessmen to the very wealthy, or at least that was what his modus operandi suggested. The stakeout over the last few days had yielded evidence of clients arriving and going in flashy high priced cars into a five-star hotel, in town.
It had all begun on a Saturday, two weeks back, when the CID headquarters had received a tip off on the prostitution ring, by anonymous mail. A raid was immediately planned and a sting task force was set in motion. The hotel was monitored and the man apprehended with enough evidence for a conviction.
At the opportune time officers had raided the room and arrested the girl and the pimp, who had dropped her here, as he was leaving the hotel.
It was well planned and the raid had gone off well, but now, there was a problem. This man had refused to talk or answer any questions. He just kept repeating one sentence, namely that, he wanted to meet the Head of Prosecution within the next 48 hours and that he would only speak with him.
Chief Inspector Saeed, under whom this case was assigned, opened the scanty file, pertaining to this case, which was lying on his table. He quickly read through the details about the anonymous letter that had arrived at CID headquarters a few days back and the subsequent sting operation and its results.
Yesterday, the operation had gone into effect. No sooner than the man had entered the hotel, a team of plain clothes policemen had surrounded t...

Hanif shook off the police officer’s grasp upon his shoulder with a shrug, and stood up calmly, holding his hands in front of him, he allowed himself to be handcuffed and walked towards the door.
“Mr. Balushi, I do not know if you have taken any note of what I have said, but I urge you to please be serious about our meeting, and call the number now, because consequences will really be dire if you don’t,” Hanif said at the door and left.
Balushi felt a chill creeping up his spine. He could not figure out whether the chill was from fear or from curiosity or from dealing with, what he now believed to be a completely stupid if not insane man.
He stared at the piece of paper for a long time, and then reasoned that maybe he should report this matter to his boss. Picking up the piece of paper he ventured out of the room.
Anderson along with fellow police officer Henry Tavarez was busted for “flaking” four men (i.e. in this case planting cocaine) in a Queens bar, NY in 2008 in order to help his partner, who had a low of buy-and-bust arrest record and thus was in jeopardy of losing his undercover job, and be assigned to regular patrol, which he did not welcome.
Once the motel manager confirmed that a Summer Twilligear had rented room 114, Deputy Shanks, Sergeant Walls, Deputy Galloway, Deputy Phifer, and Deputy Timms went to the hotel to see whether this “Gunner Crapser” was the wanted man, and to attempt a “knock and talk” as a way to gain consent to search the room and look for signs of methamphetamine activity (FindLaw, 2007, Factual and Procedural Background section, para. 4). All of the officers were in uniform with their guns visible besides Deputy Timms who was in plain clothes with a concealed weapon.
The Army CID sent a new, inexperienced investigator named William Ivory to investigate the scene. Ivory decided after looking around the house that MacDonald made up the story of the killers. He also persuaded everyone that he was the culprit. This meant that everyone in Ivory’s chain...

Undercover officers were placed in areas within Spokane were prostitution was known to an issue. It was on the night of November 20th, 1998 that police finally had a suspect. Yates was pulled-over by police after he picked up a prostitute. Note that he was driving a Honda Civic and not a white Corvette in this encounter. During this incident the police were unable to arrest either of the two because they said that Yates had come to pick her up to take her home. Yates was off the hook for now. It wasn’t until nearly a year later in the fall of 1999 when Yates was connected to the
The men are then taken to the police station and booked for investigation. The next day the men were
“He was found in his desk chair, according to Chief Rosco. We called the police when he wasn't home, around, quarter past one, I think. They called us to tell us he was dead around two, and that's when I called you. Also, he was killed with scissors on his desk, oddly enough,” I nodded at the information. I asked if the police could get Mr. Bone`s assistant, since all the workers were present. James Blue soon came, and I started to interrogate him. He seemed nervous, fidgeting, but I could tell he wasn't guilty, just nervous.
Shortly after Reineke and Wilson’s arrest, Deonnia Sky Allen, 25, of Glendale, Ariz., and Jamie Lynn Knight, 35, of Avondale, Ariz., were charged with one count of each using a computer to advertise prostitution, and receiving or concealing money made from prostitution.
Capone publicly admitted how he had gained his fortune. He said that he makes his money by supplying a public demand. If he breaks the law, his customers who number hundreds of the best people in Chicago, are as guilty as he is. The only difference is that he sells and they buy. Everyone calls him a racketeer, he calls himself a businessman."
These two officers took bribes and never reported known about a brothel that took in over a million dollars a year. 16 women working as prostitutes for the brothel were believed to have paid thousands of dollars to come to the United States from South Korea. The worst part is the officers accepted only small bribes for their silence. Discounted services were what one officers price was and several hundred dollars was the other (Rashbaum&O’Donnell, 2006). 16 women’s lives were effected on a daily bases because these officers turned their heads a sex-trafficking
The heavy door slammed shut behind the malicious killers back. His presence began to fill the room with a chill ambiance as if his own heart was made of pure ice. A policeman had one hand in the middle of his back, and another nervously fiddling the handle of his gun. The policeman guided him to a chair that screeched as it dragged against the tile floor. Across from him was a highly renowned detective from New York. He had never lost a case in his past investigations, and he doesn’t plan to in this investigation. The two stared at each other trying to figure out what the other was thinking. Lucky for the detective, he was trained to do this very thing. For centuries, scientists, investigators, and doctors have been trying to understand how
Undercover storefront or sting operations are undercover tactics used by law enforcement to catch suspected criminals. The defining feature these types of operations is aimed at the elimination of wholesale property, where law enforcement facilitates operational roles (i.e. buyer or sellers of illegal goods or services) to collect evidence and apprehend criminal offenders (Lushbaugh, C. A. and Weston, P. B. (2012). Despite some disadvantages, most stings draw positive benefits by upholding the transparency of the course of justice; however, they also render some disadvantages.
 3 years later, the proof of his innocence appeared. Yet, the high-ranking officers refused to open the cased.
Many white-collar offenders may start off as trustworthy, respected businessmen/women in their workplace. Motivated by greed and power, these highly skilled people will use cunning and deceit to earn what they want from innocent people. Some people are very well known through their illegal white collar activities that are brought to light.
