Hawaii is known for being a laid back, chill, island-vibes state, but even we were surprised to hear last week that apparently Hawaiian cops are allowed to bang down with the hookers they are attempting to arrest.

Or should I say, were allowed to. According to Time, the bizarre law that allowed cops to have intercourse with prostitutes “in the course of investigations.”

Via Time:

“The law was put in place in the 1970s to protect police from prosecution after undercover prostitution stings, but concerns that police may be abusing the exemption and raping prostitutes had advocates lobbying for a change. After a heated debate over the necessity of the law made national news late last week, supporters of the exemption agreed to throw in the towel on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.”

Hilariously, the advocates of the exemption claim that it is important to catching the criminals because if only “verbal confirmation” is needed to arrest a prostitute, the women will be have a sure-fire way to ensure they don’t end up in jail.

“Officials said that prostitutes would try to “cop check” potential Johns by forcing themselves on the officers sexually, expecting that cops would not be able to go through with a sexual encounter.”

It’s like the ol’ “if you’re a cop you have to tell me” drug dealer move, except in this case they think a lady of the night would grab their dick and be like “if you’re a cop you have to stop me.” SURE, GUYS. SURE.

Needless to say, the Aloha state is now under the same rules as everyone else. I have a feeling prostitution stings are gonna be a whole lot less frequent from now on.
