THE MORALITY POLICE




“A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could.”  William Hazlitt

In 1968 a Fairfax County Police Captain assigned to the McLean, station was fined $100 for "encouraging the act of abortion”.  The cop sobbed went the fine was read by the judge.  He and two others were arrested in connection with the abortion-death of a police department stenographer named Ann Smith.  Smith, who was 30 years old, was four months pregnant when she died.  The cop contacted a businessman friend of his and asked if he could arrange “To help a girl who is in trouble” 
Again, the young woman died, the cop, the married father of two, who arranged for the abortion to be conducted by a hospital orderly, got off with a $100 fine and the son of bitch cried about it.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”  Jacques Anatole François Thibault

On May 8 1985, a stripper named Linda Barnett, who worked for a company called "Have Fun, Will Travel" was sent to a Tysons Corner Holiday Inn to entertain a group of men she believed were giving a bachelor party.  The man who made the appointment said that the bachelor party was for "kind of a wild bunch”
 The eight men she entertained for were Fairfax County cops with apparently nothing else to do.  The cops rented the room.  Provided themselves with snack and liquor and snacks “to look like a party” all at taxpayers’ expense. 
When Linda Barnett finished her performance, she said, the men "tried to get me to prostitute myself.”  She said she refused and they refused to pay her the $150 fee they had agreed too.  However, they did arrest Barnett on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure.  It took eight cops…with a budget….to arrest the five foot five inch naked lady.  The Fairfax County prosecutor dropped the charges.  The Board of supervisors said and did nothing.
