Grady Judd Sheriff Of Polk County And The Abuse Of Power

Charging that Craigslist remains a "one-stop shop for all your prostitution needs," Polk County Florida sheriff Grady Judd yesterday announced the arrest of 28 women who allegedly advertised sexual services on the popular on-line classifieds site. Dubbed "Operation Hot Date," the undercover police action also netted several pimps who worked with the alleged hookers, said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

It would be a good thing for police resources to be used to capture criminals, unfortunately, the only criminal here is Sheriff Grady Judd.  This is an abuse of Power issue that seems to plague his term as Polk county Sheriff.  Judd "cleaned up" the smut industry in Polk county years ago by eliminating all of the XXX rated video stores and strip clubs, I mean ALL of them.  He was abusing his power to intimidate, threaten, and browbeat people.  Violating peoples constitutional rights without any court precedent makes his department corrupt since it is controled by the Religous Right in Polk County.  That was not good enough for Grady Judd, he is now going after the internet.  Even though web host servers are located in other State, because they send their signals into Polk county that makes them in violation of his laws, and the Christian Right, not the laws that the courts have imposed.

None of the women he arrested are from Polk County.  They are mostly from Tampa and Orlando and out of State.  He used the internet to beam his emails out of his County to entrap these women.  He is out of control  There is more

The women, pictured in the mug shots on the following pages, offered a variety of sexual acts carrying prices between $125 and $800. Two of the alleged hookers who arrived for appointments with undercover officers were pregnant, and a third arrived with fur-lined handcuffs. In announcing the sweep, Judd criticized Craigslist for "facilitating prostitution" and deriving proceeds from the illegal act, since the site charges for the placement of the adult ads. Judd added that he wanted to press charges against the web site, which has previously pledged to law enforcement agencies that it would crack down on ads promoting prostitution.

Now, he is going to track down the men who's phone numbers are listed on these women's cell phone. Does that mean he is going after Tampa Cab Drivers.  Many of these women have MY NUMBER and use the taxi service to get where they are going.  IS GRady Judd going to contact me? 

He can go to Hell. 

Unfortunately, most of these women will plead out for reduced sentences.  Too bad.  The ones that actually go to Court would win.

Gady Judd exhibits classic symptoms of a man that was sexually abused as a young lad in a homosexual way.  Grady Judd may have performed gay sex when he was young, and a way to purge himself from sin is to go after sinners.

The one on the bottom right looks familiar. So does the one of the top left. I have no idea why.

This guy is a long way from being camera shy, most area sheriff's have spokes person's but not ole Grady, he is on the tube more then any TV star.

His office is out of control, if you need any proof of that just look at the guy who shot a cop and got 49 shots in return.

Now I won't begin to condone shooting a cop, but Grady and his crew where judge, jury and executioner, rolled into 1, and as I remember no one got into any trouble over this.

One of these days we will be hearing about ole Grady closing his county jail's and putting the convict's in tent's, just like his good buddy in Arizona does. Tom

Why would these "ladies" have your phone number, to hear you tell it you aren't getting any fares anyway. Not enough to keep you off of the street. I guess you know for sure that Grady was abused as a youngster. I think the whole friggin country is missing the boat, have the ladies of the night be conroled by the state, have a medical check up monthly. Pay income taxes for money earned. Than they wouldn't need "pimps", who beat them for not bringing in enough money. Than Judd wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
