Comments on Advance Indiana™: Was IMPD Ordered Not To Investigate Phil Hinkle?

Let see, man who WRITEs the LAW violates it. With most if not all politicians felling the LAW they write does not apply to them, maybe when politicians break the LAW they write they should have to be arrested. Maybe if politicians were held to what they write they would be a little more careful what they write. What happened to "Equality under the Law" except the guys who write it? How about when politicians get caught and convicted they lose their Congressional pension, Congressional health, and all the free things they gave themselves. All they keep is Social Security, and Medicare, the same plan normal Americans get. We could solve the budget problems if we just cut off this crap.

They are forced to ignore THOUSANDS of ILLEGAL ALIENS in this city. Why should they worry about this. Especially since no one has filed a complaint.

Well, we at least know it involved getting naked, words used by Hinkle in his e-mails to Gibson. The hustler claims Hinkle actually got naked while he was in the hotel room. It's fine with me if they don't waste their times on these sorts of crimes, but that is not the case. IMPD goes out and conducts stings on people to bust them in the act. Why ignore cases like this involving a public official if you're going to use police resources to bust average joes?

Proving that prostitution took place would be a difficult thing. Although the intent was clear to virtually everyone, there wasn't an explicit offer to exchange money for sex. "spending time", "suga daddy" etc. doesn't make the cut.

Unless the 18 yo is pressing charges, it's really unlikely that anything could come of the any of the other potentially criminal acts - even if he did, realistically what would be the outcome for a person with no prior record? Virtually nothing but embarrassment.

Look, this is a political issue and probably not a criminal issue unless there's a lot more to it. I would be angry if IMPD was using their limited resources to do what the voters should do.

I suppose some people, Paul, feel the same way Democrats in Congress felt about Anthony Weiner hanging around after his social media scandal unfolded. Weiner's transgressions didn't appear to include any violations of the law, unlike Hinkle's. It seems the facts in Hinkle's case are much more serious than they were in Weiner's case.

Marc,

Hinkle would be replaced by someone who is handpicked by Marion County GOP Chairman Kyle Walker and other GOP insiders. I don't know why anyone would want that to happen.
