Surveillance video that could shed light on a scandal involving Republican State Representative Phil Hinkle does not exist.
The JW Marriott's head of security said its surveillance system hasn't been working for at least 31 days, though.That should be reassuring to guests who pay more than $200 a night to stay at the hotel that fashions itself as a "Fresh Take On Luxury." Now does anyone actually believe it is possible that this brand spanking new hotel's surveillance system has been out of operation for the past month? Not that it would matter if there was surveillance video available. The hotel's security tells Fox 59 News that nobody from IMPD has requested surveillance video or any other evidence regarding the Hinkle affair. That's because orders came from the top not to investigate the potential crimes both 18-year-old Kameryn Gibson and the 64-year-old Hinkle accused the other of committing, notwithstanding IMPD's insistence that there is no crime to investigate. If there is no crime to investigate, then IMPD should immediately drop all of the charges against persons it boasted of arresting for prostitution no more than a week before the Star broke the Hinkle scandal.
Next question: When will someone in the media ask Hinkle who paid for his hotel room that night? If he says he paid for it himself, demand he produce a receipt for the room charge. Let's see if Hinkle, other state lawmakers or city councilors report receiving as a gift free accommodations at the JW Marriott.
UPDATE: A Star editorial today calls on Hinkle to resign his office. It reads, in part:
Hinkle argues that he broke no law. That is debatable. And at the least, he certainly brushed the edge of illegality, risking his reputation, credibility and effectiveness as a lawmaker in the process. Whatever forces made him do it, he gambled what he could not afford to lose, and he lost. He should call an end to the damage he has inflicted on himself, his family and his constituents, and step aside.

I had a case where I was going to prove my client was across town and not the one who committed the crime. I went to a drug store, a car wash and a restaurant. They were all low budget operations adn they all had video of my client.
So we're supposed to believe that the luxury JW Marriott didn't have surveillance video?
Somebody at the JW Marriott has some 'splainin' to do!
A hotel at that price point without surveillance is hard to imagine!
