I think it might be more common than we think it is. They have needs and wants just like the rest of us. Now I am sure they probably have to worry more about discretion because the ramifications could be more severe if caught. It would not surprise me if there were lurkers or even register members on here that are LE but not "on the job" sort to speak. That is just my opinion of course and I could be totally wrong.

The girl asked what we all did and one big mouth said that all six of us were cops and handed me his badge under the table. He bet that she would have to disrobe if we were all cops. She said she knew I wasn't LE; you should have seen her face when I pulled out the other guys badge. She quit undressing when I told her it was a joke, but the five officers were disappointed because they wanted her to go through with it.
Not my style to lie to someone to get a peek, or more. When working around them, I learned, you can't trust a cop for anything.
