subscription required to read Scott Maxwell op:
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?

Because, the next question is, was she available for special requests?

We're beyond Jeb corruption. We're in Rick Scott Land now.
