Kobak no stranger to police

This is how the Philadelphia Daily News summed up Kobak's life in 1996:

He was a loner, teased in school, laughed at as a weirdo, who sought escape in fantasies about police work and firefighting.

His friends were limited to a skimpy cast of fellow pariahs. He was unpopular with girls. He lived in a world of crackling police and fire scanners, and rock and reggae music, which he played loudly and late from his home, annoying neighbors on a posh section of the Main Line.

He talked about joining police forces and fire companies, but apparently was not accepted, if he applied at all.

He harbored grudges against people he imagined had done him harm and retaliated by phoning in false fire alarms at their houses.

Kobak's propensity for impersonating public servants was part of what linked him to the murder of Aimee Willard, 22, an All-America athlete who was raped and beaten to death in June 1996. Local papers reported he attached red and blue flashing lights and sirens to the roof of his van and sometimes pulled over fellow motorists. The Inquirer reported investigators guessed the killer may have gotten Willard to pull her car over by pretending to be a police officer.

But the Kobak family hired Dennis Cogan, whose Web site says he's been listed as one of the best lawyers in America, and Kobak was exonerated. DNA evidence pointed to another man.

Ahh the joys of living in Mexico where prostitution is legal, they already think all gringos are crazy and most anything can be upheld in a court if you have the money. Here it's legal to force female employees to wear short dresses, no panties and not complain when pinched. We see ads for jobs that require a specific age, women only and a good figure, and no one thinks they are illegal.

Dunno about that the cops turn a blind eye to it just like drunk driving... But legal NO

For those who dont understand, slave contracts are NOT legal nore enforceable.  If you are asked to do something illegal by your Master, and you are against it, then you are under no obligation to follow those demands.  A Master canNOT order a slave to engage in sex with children, commit armed robbery, or smoke crack.  These are illegal acts and outside the bounds of safe, sane, and consensual.

A slave contract can tighten the bond between Master/slave in spirit only.  Personally I do not use them because they have no positive outcome in court and can only come back and bite one in the ass if one is jilted enough to call in the authorities.

And remember, just because something is consensual, that does not make it legal (for all you pretend Doms who feel that physical abuse is part of the BDSM arena).
