Nude scandals, toll scandals, prostitute scandals

Earlier this week, the Sentinel reported that an Orlando Police lieutenant — one who specialized in prostitution arrests — had been accused taking nearly $10,000 from a prostitute who said she paid the money "to protect her from getting arrested."

To most people, this looks like a problem. Not, however, to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

After reviewing the woman's complaints — including bank records that showed 17 deposits, totaling $9,500 into an account belonging to Lt. Samuel Riggi — the FDLE concluded: "These allegations do not warrant criminal investigation by FDLE at this time."

Um ... what? A cop whose job is to police sex workers is accused of getting paid by a sex worker — and having regular sex with her to boot. And the state doesn't think that's worth investigating?

1. Nice to be a crooked cop

Get paid for not doing his job. Throw on a $10k bonus and free sex. Then when caught, it doesn't warrant an investigation. Heck, he can shoot people dead and probably get away with it.

2. I wonder if this decision was made before or after Rick Scott got rid of the

FDLE chief.

4. Given the facts you've stated here, IMO, it looks like a criminal investigation should be done.

5. In Florida investigations are a hit or miss.

That's because many of our criminal justice departments don't even begin to move unless they get a request from a political figure. I think the FDLE is like that. No political pressure, no investigation.
