Answer 1

Once again seeing some totally wrong answers.  It is only entrapment if an Officer entices you to commit a crime you would not normally participate in.  So if an Officer approaches you (out of the blue) and says she is a prostitute and she'll do some sexual act for a certain price and you agree you could make a case for entrapment.  If, however, you try to solicit the Officer then you have no complaint of entrapment.  Also, an Officer does not have to identify his/herself if asked.  Furthermore, it is not entrapment if you ask an Officer if she is an Officer and then solicit her after she tells you she isn't one-that would be asinine.

Entrapment defenses are very risky.  You have to first admit that you were committing a crime and then try to convince the judge you were entrapped.  So if your entrapment defense doesn't work your in trouble because you've already admitted guilt.

I would suggest you either go some place where prostitution is legal if you insist on paying for it.  Or do what many of us have done, go some place and meet a woman and buy her a drink, talk to her, get to know her.........It's perfectly legal to have s*x with a woman without paying her.

Answer 2

They pose as prostitutes, and if there is an offer of money for s*x, then there is a bust and it is perfectly legal.

Answer 3

If your one of those losers who has to pay to get laid, you'll just have to take your chances.

Answer 4

hook up ???  these girls are selling their bodies you slime bag

Answer 5

You're right! It should be entrapment. But increasingly we live in a police state so they do pretty much whatever the h**l they want.  

Answer 6

if you ask a prostitute if she is a law enforcement officer, she doesn't have to say yes, but if she says no, and then you offer money for s*x, it's entrapment if she arrests you.

Answer 7

all police departments can work undercover,they can do whatever to arrest these stupid people
