Sheriff Howard Smith of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said the detectives are only doing what has to be done in order to put a case together and nail down a conviction — adding that there's nothing new or illegal about it.
However, County Supervisor Henry Connors Jr. said it's time to put a stop to on-the-clock tickle time.
"The bottom line is, while we want to shut down places of ill repute, I don't think we want to promote ill moral behavior among our law enforcement officials," he said.
Many analysts have expressed shock at the sheriff's defense of the "necessary" kneading.
"I can't believe the sheriff is still defending this policy, I promise you, he won't be defending it much longer," NBC12 legal analyst Steven Benjamin said.
