Another Bucs employee arrested

PrintJust when I thought we could get through a couple of weeks without this happening. This time, a certain Brian Weiss was arrested. It's no surprise if you've never heard of him before: he appears to have been the team's Luxury Suite Sales Manager. I write 'have been', because according to Pro Football Talk the Bucs have already 'parted ways with' (read: fired immediately) the man in question. And rightfully so, this wasn't a DUI he was arrested for, it was a sex sting operation that got him booked. And it wasn't just a count of soliciting a prostitute - supposedly, he was coming to a vacation home to have sex with girls ranging 9 to 14 in age. If the allegations are true, he along with other defendants could face 25 years.
So, let's see. That's one marijuana possession count for Alex Magee, one DUI for Coordinator of Pro Scouting Shelton Quarles, one DUI for Personal Assistent to the Head Coach Jay Kaiser, one Assault With a Deadly Weapon for Aqib Talib and one count of attempted child sexual abuse for (now former) Luxury Suite Sales Manager Brian Weiss. The Bucs are sure keeping busy.
At least they fired this one.

Since the Jessica Lundsford tragedy Florida Sheriffs seem to be running these stings a lot. It’s tough to potentially put yourself on the wrong side of this argument, but I find this tactic to be extremely unethical of the police. They are not baiting the trap and seeing who walks into it, but activily seeking out and encouraging targets to come to whatever the location is. Then they get arrested just for showing up and their name and face is splashed all over the news before there’s even a trial. The cops get good press out of it and no one wants to argue against it. I believe this is a different sherrif than the big one in, Citrus I think?, last year? The cops brought their own cameras to that one and had video of all the suspects on the news that very night.
It's how the cops work
They do the same thing with prostitution stings, drug stings etc.
Though let’s not turn this into a political discussion.
This is more of a discussion on...
How you give you franchise a permanent black eye in one off-season. What a public relations nightmare. Perhaps we are now the “New Era Raiders” for hiring and subsequently displaying the social bad boys of the NFL.
Provocative…

Unethical by the police?
I personally would not get baited into anything of the kind… so the intent of the “targets” is clear. If you are not soliciting what the immoral and unethical cops are “baiting” you with – you should have no problems.
… and yes, you are choosing the wrong side of this argument.

Yeah...
When you are baited in with 9-14 year old girls I don’t see how this ends well. It’s not like the police invited him on a fishing trip and all of a sudden girls showed up from below deck to surprise him…
Lockout, PLEASE END!
Cock my 40 glock and my partna just bought a replica
Now Asians sayin they don’t keep no cash in they register
We run from red & blue lights to get that green
But whoever got that white is winnin like Charlie Sheen
And fire him they should
Smoking a joint – probably shouldn’t be illegal. Wouldn’t hurt anyone
DUI – I’m anti drinking and driving – it is wrong and dangerous, but it happens.
The Aqib thing? That’s his sister he was defending correct? I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt til he’s seen his date in court.
Soliciting sex with underage girls? If he’s guilty, I hope they bury him
