Stone Park, IL

A class action complaint has been filed against the city claiming an undercover prostitution solicitation scheme has trapped innocent men. Male customers at the Blue Dolphin Car Wash, where the sting operation went down, claim their civil rights have been violated and they have been falsely apprehended. Men would pull into the car wash and an undercover female officer would approach, saying "I'll do anything" and "how much would you give me for ...." After an exchange lasting no more than 30 seconds the innocent car wash customers rebuff the Stone Park officer and then drive off. Afterwards, the car wash customer is pulled over by Stone Park Officers who impound the cars for $500 plus storage fees. Later the car wash customer gets a ticket for solicitation and is summoned to a quasi-criminal hearing.
