Police in the US are using police women to act as decoys as prostitutes to catch guys.?
Do readers think that this is right and moral. ?. My personal view is that they are encouraging non criminals to commit a crime. A sting is ok if you catch known ciminals but this makes no sence at all and a complete waste of public money.

I agree...really prostitutes aren't really a threat anyway...better if the fem cops strapped their guns and went after the dangerous criminals...
Got caught,huh?...
Sounds good. Confident women attract certain type of men.
well, yes but policewomen have been doing this before they started that sting operation so now they are getting paid double
It is to catch the men who are paying the prostitutes for their services. They arent encouraging the men to do it..the men should have sense enough not to pay a hooker in the first place!!
no... because a a john, or a someone who regularly uses the services of a prostitue, would be the only one to fall for a setup like that. besides, the woman doesnt actually do anything. all they do is sweet talk and find the creeps on the streets.
anyone who trys to get a prostitute was gonna try and find one in the first place, they set up stings where prostitution is known to go down.
besides they've been doing this for many, many years.
I have no problem with it. Often we also find drugs, people with felony warrants etc. If you aren't using the hooker, you wouldn't get caught by the fake hooker.
My suggestion is don't screw around. If you do decide to screw around don't do it with prostitutes. Most of the things police do is a wast of the publics money. Look at the war on drugs.
I like your answer Sandman. Your probaly right about getting caught. They have been doing that for years. Go to the chicken ranch and you wont get caught.
They've been doing it as long as I remember, and no, I don't think it's any more immoral than seeking out a prostitute to begin with. The people who seek flesh for hire ARE criminals in California, and nobody is encouraging them, unless you consider the "little head" to be the encourager.
I don't believe this is anything new. As far as I know, the police have posed as felons for a long time now, so as to catch real criminals. The only people who will be caught are those with criminal intentions because honest people have nothing to do with the vice trade. I suppose a person who wants to use the trade would be offended, but that's tough.
If you are not trying to hire a prostitute, you A. won't be in the area where the decoy officers are, and B. won't stop your car and ask the decoy officer if she wants to "party."
How would you like to be the wife of one of these "non-criminals" and discover you are HIV positive because your husband uses prostitutes?
A person would not go there unless they were already predisposed to doing so. Most people will avoid going to places where prostitutes are prevalent, unless of course they are searching for one. The undercover cops can only say certain things to a person of interest, things that have to be within the entrapment rules. I much rather have police out there doing something about the problem. I have had a prostitute do business near one of our homes in the middle of broad daylight - near a school - tell me that is right and moral? She wouldn't be doing that if certain men weren't there to encourage the behavior.
A woman cop posing as a prostitute cannot legally proposition a man to be her John. That is called entrapment. He has to approach and proposition her for it to be legal. In that sense she is not encouraging anyone to do anything. If you know of a police woman doing this, She is breaking the law.
I'm so glad someone finally came up with this question. Revenue!! Money makes the world go round. I like to watch Cops. When they have an episode about busting Johns I think"Why?" Who got hurt? Why do it? Revenue!! I often wonder if
our brave men and women in uniform think the same way. Busting Johns, you should be so proud.
Well, what about cops that infiltrate crime organizations, like a drug mafia, isn't the same as a female cop pretending to be a prostitute? No, they're not "non criminals" commiting a crime, its' part of their job. I agree with Sandman as well, you must know why, although there's nothing wrong with visiting a prostitue, hey, it's your money, just be careful next time.
Personally, I think prostitution should be legal and regulated.
That said, both the woman and the man are engaged in illegal behavior by law so it's fair.
The same could be said about sexual predators who are caught in sting operations.
