Policeman arrested driving in fishnet tights
MONDAY , 10 MAY 2004
PARIS: A French policeman faces trial in a police court for driving under the influence after he was stopped at the wheel of his car drunk and wearing only a pair of fishnet tights, a prosecutor says.
The man admitted he was a part-time prostitute after fellow police chased him through the Bois de Boulogne, a wooded area on the outskirts of Paris reputed as a nighttime hangout of transsexual prostitutes, in the early hours of last Thursday.
The policeman said he needed the extra income. If convicted, he could lose his driver's licence and be fined.
Prosecutors said on Friday there was not enough evidence to try him for passive soliciting, which is punishable by prison in France.

It doesn't say whether he would remain in the police force. Perhaps he'll be transferred to the vice squad.
