TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- State Representative Bob Allen was arrested Wednesday for allegedly soliciting an undercover officer. The representative for Brevard County was arrested at a Titusville park.

According to police, Allen was arrested at 3:30pm at Veteran's Park along Broad Street in Titusville. Officers with the Titusville Police Department's Crime Suppression Unit noticed a car, Allen's leased Toyota Avalon, going back and forth near the park.

Three undercover officers, police said, watched him go into the bathroom three times. One of the undercover officers then went into the bathroom and into a stall. Allen allegedly started talking to the officer through the door of the stall.

Police said Allen offered the officer $20 for oral sex. When the undercover officer and Allen left the bathroom, officers arrested Allen. According to police, they did not know at the time that he was a state legislator.

Would they have arrested him if they did know he was a state legislator?

What is up with all these "incidents"? Why do these folks think they can get away with this immoral and illegal behavior? Why do they commit these illegal acts? Why do politicians think they are above the law? From Barney Frank allowing a male prostitution ring to be operated from his home by his boyfriend to Bill Clinton getting a Lewinsky in the White House, this goes on and on. Oh for a moral politician.
