This article caught my eye because I've posted about this guy before. Although then it was only because I thought the headline and a bit of the story was funny. Now I'm just a little worried.
Police have spent £170,000 of public money trying to prosecute a strippergram for playing an officer as part of his act. Stuart Kennedy, who performs under the stage name of Sergeant Eros, was last week cleared in court for the 22nd time. The case collapsed after the Crown Office dropped the charges against him.

Since March 2007, the 25-year-old genetics student from Aberdeen University has been arrested six times and spent 123 hours in custody, without police securing a single conviction. Grampian Police have incurred the wrath of the public over the accumulated police, court and legal aid costs now mounting to an estimated £170,000.

Assistant Chief Constable of Grampian Police, Colin Menzies, said his force had a duty to investigate all reports of alleged criminal behaviour.
Wow. Okay so obviously the guy could change his stripper outfit and this would be over. Why would he do that, though, if it's not illegal and the ladies like it? The police need to keep an eye out for things like this because there are dangerous people out there who impersonate police officers so they can do terrible things. But this is getting ridiculous and it seems like they need to back off.
