Can cops legally have sex with hoes in order to bust them in RI and MA?
[QUOTE=DaveDarlings;6372868]Well there's dna evidence but of course that would be collected by the cop's colleagues, hahaha. Looks like a Times article about 4 days after KOF's link says the law was repealed. Common sense finally prevailed.[/QUOTE]In my opinion, common sense will only finally prevail when ALL laws used to harass, intimidate, and fuck over prostitutes and their clients are repealed. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for our esteemed RI and MA barristers to cite the current actual statutes and the appropriate court cases in OUR local communities. Come on, counselors, it's your job to have easy access to that data. Please just post it already! 🥴.

[QUOTE=JohannJohann;6371947]I'm sure some officers take advantage of the job, but I can't see that being legal in any capacity. Isn't prostitution what they're trying to prosecute in the first place? I bet if evidence was provided by a sex worker (photos, video, physical evidence, etc.), there would be some legal ramifications for the police. At least the case would probably be thrown out of court.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Bobs YourUncle;6372724]Thinking out loud here. But if this did happen (and I have no reason to disbelieve it) then a cop could say no I didn't she offered and I busted her. No matter what the girl says she won't be believed since she was busted anyway and she'll have zero evidence unless she secretly recorded it and even at that she's busted anyway and the cop gets what a reprimand? Good call KOF.[/QUOTE]

Here's is a quote from the above link, below. But I'm STILL waiting for some RI and MA lawyer / mongers to step up to the plate, and cite the actual court records and statutes! FWIFA, yes?
"Of the 1,716 misdemeanor charging documents for prostitution, loitering for the purpose of prostitution, massaging without a license, and pandering provided by police departments, fifty five included allegations, which were sometimes blacked out but still easily understood, that POLICE ENGAGED IN SEXUAL CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT BEFORE ARRESTING THEM. In most of these cases, consent for the sexual contact was gained by the police officer fraudulently claiming that he was not a police officer and / or fraudulently agreeing to pay for the sexual contact. [The caps are mine, for emphasis of the most important point.--KOF]
Marginalized workers were over represented in these fifty five cases: one seemed to be a trafficking victim (compared to. 6% of the total misdemeanor cases), six were immigrants (compared to. 8% of the total misdemeanor cases), and five were drug users (compared to 4. 8% of the total misdemeanor cases). Cases with sexual contact involved the Providence Police Department (49), Pawtucket Police Department (6), Homeland Security (2), and a sex trafficking task force (3). “.
This is indeed why I often use the term, “Thugs with badges”.
