Folks;
This has been a week of bizzare news about womenfolks.
We started it in Kenya, where the male-dominated Parliament passed a law that effectively permits men to marry as many wives as they want. Allan said Amen to that!
Next, came the news from Mombazique that the Parliament down south has voted to retain a particularly cruel law that lets rapists go free if they marry their victims!
Now, to cap off the week, we have cops in Honolulu, Hawaii, asking for legal protection to sleep with prostitutes in the course of investigating, well....prostitution!
Imagine narcotics squad asking for a similar exemption to snort cocaine and shoot heroine in the course of drug investigations! As I said, this has been a week of bizzzare news.

Honolulu Cops Want Permission To Sleep With Hookers
Honolulu police officers want to maintain a legal exemption allowing them to have sex with prostitutes without breaking the law.
The cops claim hooking up with hookers in "undercover" work may be necessary in crime investigations.
Perhaps giving a new meaning to "lei," a law is pending in the Hawaii legislature that will keep the exemption in place for officers who are or claim to be acting in the course or scope of their duties.
From a regulatory viewpoint, evidently they want to have legally safe sex, but only if or when it is actually necessary.
A bill in the state legislature that increases prostitution penalties for Johns and pimps initially eliminated the legal permission for cops to get busy with hookers on duty. The sex exemption was put back in the legislation, however, after law enforcement officials came forward and testified in favor of the provision. The measure containing the hooker exemption for cops has already passed the state House and is on the way to the state senate for consideration.
The exemption is obviously controversial but apparently state lawmakers are on board. "Authorities say they need the legal protection to catch lawbreakers in the act. Critics, including human trafficking experts and other police, say it's unnecessary and can further victimize sex workers, many of whom have been forced into the trade. Police haven't said how often — or even if — they use the provision. But when they asked legislators to preserve it, they made assurances that internal policies and procedures are in place to prevent officers from taking advantage of it."
Police misconduct investigations are apparently confidential in the state of Hawaii, so it's unknown if any cop has been disciplined for violating the parameters involved with sexual encounters with prostitutes.
