Houston Police Vice Cops Caught On Camera Having Good Time at Gentlemen’s Club With Your Tax Money

Houston, Texas

Anyone familiar with Houston will know, from all the headlines lately, that city officials have been focusing a lot of attention to on a particular gentlemen’s club. According to police, Treasures, the Galleria-area cabaret, is a haven for crime that needs frequent police attention.

Houston vice cops have certainly been offering that personal, frequent attention to the popular nightspot. In fact, so much attention, that surveillance video has been captured of the officers eagerly “investigating” the club atmosphere.

"They're in there drinking beer, having a good time and getting dances from pretty girls," said attorney Casey Wallace, who represents Treasures.

The video in question depicts a Houston police Sergeant letting his fingers wander while getting a private dance. The Sergeant can also be seen kissing the breasts of the dancer in public.

In the September 2009 video, the sergeant’s partner also is seen groping another dancer on the same night.

In fact, police records show during their investigation, the two cops over two days, bought alcohol and table dances totaling $850 of taxpayer money.

According to the police report, there is a very good reason: “In order to keep from looking suspicious.”

And what was the result of the two-day operation?

“(There was) not a single arrest, not a single criminal charge, nothing but some officers inside having a good time in Treasures," Wallace claimed.

Police records reveal similar visits to the club. In April, three undercover officers got table dances, and "observed numerous sexually-oriented business violations,” but chose not to make any arrests. They did write "investigation to continue.” Three days later, the same cops went in again, and again they got table dances and observed violations. But again, no arrests were made. And again they determined, “investigation to continue."

And then there’s a case in May, where undercover cops came to the club and officers negotiated for two dancers "to engage in oral sex with each other.” But instead of arresting them immediately, the cops "observed the suspects" doing the sex act and "waited for this to be completed."

By the way, the two officers in the video have since been transferred to other divisions. Go figure.
