This just sounds like made up bullshit. Where did this happen, what newspaper are you citing? When someone says "I heard about this crazy thing that's unbelievable,"...I don't believe it.
LMAO!![:D] I couldn't have said it better myself. I was thinking much the same thing... Such as:
1. What news publication printed the article?
2. When was the article printed?
3. Is there a web-site maintained by the publication?
4. If so, mind sharing the link?
5. What State did this supposedly take place in?
6. What the hell was the warrant issued for?
There's just too much information missing, and much too leeway afforded these alleged police officers to give it much weight, so far as ringing true in my mind.
If they had a warrant for one thing, they can't just trump up shit and arrest for something the warrant wasn't about. They have (in so far as my knowledge of police procedure, which, granted, I'm not a cop, but I've dealt with enough and as a US citizen, do know my rights) to actually be able to "prove" everything out the way that it needs to be proven in a court of law. They can't just go on "Oh, well this neighbor says such and such, and therefore, just by way of hear-say, it must be true. Let's arrest those perverted pimps!"... *cough*bullshit*cough*
For one, even if they see something illegal, technically they can do nothing about it, till they come back with an arrest or search and seizure warrant for that particular illegality. IF it's in someones home. And they came there for something else.
The probable cause that they achieve by seeing it, first hand, might by-pass that, however, so there's my disclaimer, and I'm admitting that probable cause could have given them a go-ahead to search for something else, but according to the article, (allegedly) they found nothing illegal, and only turned up something sexually deviant (and mayhaps per chance, not even illegal) in the comment of the neighbor... So there wasn't a search warrant issued for anything other than whatever they were looking for, and that, they obviously didn't find (probably drugs)... Owning porn isn't illegal, so long as you are old enough by your states legal code (usually 18 in the US...).
This is also, mind you, all speculation from reading what I've read as well...
As far as I'm concerned, I don't think the cops should have made an arrest at all. I mean, that's idiotic, it's like me asking a woman "Hey, wanna come back to my place and make a kinky fuck video? I'll give you a copy too, so you can enjoy it later." And getting arrested for prostitution... OR soliciting. Sure, I (allegedly) offered to give her a copy of a produced video... Sure it (allegedly) had sex on it... Sure it might be of (allegedly) some sort of monetary value... But the concept and intent was (factually) not to pay her for it... And intent (factually), is largely what makes up that which is criminal, and therefore arrestable. The idea wasn't prostitution or paying (except maybe in my participation and her enjoyment) for the act.
Unless it's enforcable that they can't have threesome sex in that state, I don't see where the prosecutions basis is going to be. It certainly doesn't appear to be "prostitution". It also certainly doesn't have much to stand on with one persons "hear-say" as probable testimony. I won't be surprised if the (alleged) police officers don't end up getting slapped for false arrest, among whatever other charges might accrue from falsifying charges etc.
The idea that they're charged at all is outrageous (if that is allegedly the case) considering that if the cops only have one persons spit about the matter and they've no hard evidence, or even circumstantial... I mean come on... Someone saying "he did this, or she did that" is never grounds for an arrest... Simply investigation into the matter. And even then, police still would need to get hard evidence... As in "witness the illegal transgression" first hand. So far as I can tell, there isn't even any evidence that could be considered circumstantial.
I think this is so much bullshit, but hey... Dirty pigs do what dirty pigs do. And I'm not the overall authority on authority... LOL...
Peace.
