InterracialPickups - Anna de Ville - JANUARY 8 2016

Detective Rico Strong is having a challenging Friday afternoon as he prepares to process his last arrest of the week. He has apprehended a sex worker named Anna DeVille on Figueroa Avenue near LAX. As he speaks with a colleague, Strong learns about an unofficial practice within the department that involves making deals with arrested individuals. Rather than following standard procedures of recording confessions, he contemplates an unethical arrangement that involves personal favors in exchange for expunging the hooker's previous arrests. This decision is presented as one that would generate significant discussion among his peers. The scenario highlights a troubling aspect of law enforcement conduct.
