There's a Thin, Brown Line Separating Law and Order from Chaos and It's Called The Police Force. Blue Line? What Did I Say?

In X-rated testimony as graphic as a porno flick, a former dominatrix yesterday described a bizarre sexual encounter in the woods she claims to have had with a town police officer.

"He wanted to go to a motel in the Bronx where I would defecate on him, but I told him I was uncomfortable going to the Bronx," testified the dominatrix, Gina Pane, 31, buttoned up in an olive-gray suit with her black hair pulled back in a bun. . . .

The defense lawyer, Andrew Quinn, said Ward was interested only in recruiting Pane as an informant, having her set up a meeting with a cocaine dealer she knew so police could intercept him.

Quinn said the case would hinge on whose word was more credible - a police officer or a dominatrix.

Assistant District Attorney Gwendolyn Galef said, however, that Ward knew the rules about developing a confidential informant and broke them to gratify his own defecation fetish.

Among the evidence the prosecutor presented was the dominatrix's own feces, which was tested in a lab.

"Thats feces all right," said Dr. R. Quincy, M.E., reporting from the state forensics lab. "I'd stake my career on it."

Asst. D.A. Galef said, she agreed with the defense that this would come down to who was more credible, a police officer or a dominatrix, except Galef said, "a dominatrix or a skat-loving Barney Fife."

"We like our chances," said Galef.
