DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A Daytona Beach police officer was reprimanded for associating with a prostitute and calling her 82 times over a three-month period. Officer Thomas Lopez said he called prostitute Tara Price to collect information from her for his cases and he wants to appeal the reprimand.

Investigators said Lopez violated a departmental rule that states that police officers are not supposed to associate socially with known criminals. But Lopez said he was confused by the reprimand.

"We talk to criminals all day long," he said.

Investigation reports showed Lopez called Price from his personal cell phone and mostly while off-duty.

Price accused Lopez of having sex with her four times while he was on duty and providing her with crack cocaine as payment, but those allegations were unfounded.

Lopez has been with the police department for almost two years.

1. 81 times we can handle, but 82

2. If prostitution were legal, like it should be, this would be a non-issue,

which is all it shoudl be.

Come on America, grow up -

5. Or strippers instead of doughnuts,

none of them would be fat and all of them would be in far better condition... happier too.
