A Philadelphia woman is on trial for offering three-ways and anal sex for tickets to an undercover cop who she met through Craigslist. The officer who set up the sting was hunting for "blondes" on the site.

Cops are people, too. They drive drunk with weapons and swerve across mountain roads at 7 o'clock in the morning just like the rest of us. And this on-duty Colorado trooper was cuffed and stuffed, just like an average Joe.

In your sober Thursday media column: another round of layoffs hits BusinessWeek, Sulzberger Jr. goes to court, a cop fired for helping a drunk newsman, and Adam Nagourney may be headed to LA.

The police officer who shot and killed the crazed chimp attacking a Connecticut woman last year has been plagued with PTSD ever since, envisioning the victim—"She had no face." He sings sad tunes on YouTube. Heartbreaking, the whole thing.

One of the biggest problems in Jefferson Parish is drinking and driving. So one would think the main responsibility of the police department would be to stop those DUIs. Not if there are rats in the canal that need shootin'!

On Steven Seagal: Lawman, Steven chases after a perp, loses him, thinks he finds him, barges into the wrong house, and recklessly uses his gun only to lose him again. Be glad you don't live in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Though the plan has been scuttled, Mayor Bloomberg was apparently going to send some detectives from the NYPD Gang Unit down to his weekend home, to help the local police out. (BTW, his weekend home is his mansion in Bermuda.)

Doesn't he need a search warrant for this?

Steven Seagal: Lawman combines a really really boring episode of Cops with a washed up, overweight, out of work actor. Even with his fat suit on, he's bound to get recognized by the people he arrests. And it is awkwaaaard.

The alleged cop killer pardoned by Mike Huckabee was killed by Seattle cops this morning.

Cops investigating union corruption raided the New York Times' printing plant this morning [NYT].

Hint: When pulling away, always make sure you're in drive... and not in reverse.

America's only state-licensed medical marijuana dealer is a non-profit dispensary working out of New Mexico. If you've ever experienced the purchasing of diesel-grade weed in a less-than-desirable situation, you can relate to Abby Goodnough's entirely fascinating New York Times report.

Fantastic news, minorities: A new Taser that boasts three times as many shots! Elsewhere in law enforcement matters: "Taser-hit man bursts into flames." Creepy masochistic employee indoctrination vid below!

After Barack Obama said Cambridge cops "stupidly" arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates on the front porch of his own home, the police said they "deeply resent the implication" anyone would think they're racists. Maybe clue this Cambridge cop in.
