A sting is catching you committing a crime you clearly intended to commit.
Not that this hasn't been discussed thousands of times already on this forum, in every state and city, but it isn't entrapment for them to trick you or lie to you. They can do that, whenever they want.
Stay safe.

That is why I will only pay after services are rendered. Believe me I have taken many a long drive and then have.
The woman refuse the intended encounter. I turn and leave and go onto the next one.

Guilty or not they will publicly embarass you with an arrest on an "alleged" charge that you will be required to defend yourself on. Your name will appear in the paper on the alleged charge but if you are cleared of any wrong doing you will nevr see that in print.
Be safe. Be wary. Be sure.

Like SpermSac said, Uncle LEO doesn't care either way, even if nothing is discussed they'll bust you just for showing up. They got their arrest, that's all that matters to them. The truth is that the majority of sex for a fee cases get thrown out if you actually take it to trial, but most panic and take a plea bargain at arraignment. It doesn't help that most have a [I]public pretender[/I] who encourages them to do so, because they don't want to waste their time going to trial.
The only way to avoid getting arrested is to not meet with Aunt LEO. Don't do incalls with girls without reviews, stick to outcalls they're safer.
Stay safe, and happy hunting.
BROCKTON – Police arrested 16 people, including an 18-year-old woman, in a prostitution sting Thursday as part of a recent crackdown in the city.
Nine women and seven men were all charged with sexual conduct for a fee, Brockton police Lt. Kenneth LeGrice said.
Six of those arrested were from Brockton. The others were from Taunton, East Bridgewater, Randolph, Foxboro, Halifax, Milton, Hyannis, Somerset, Providence and Pawtucket, are. I.
The sting targeted both men and women, and undercover officers were used during the operation.
Male officers, working undercover, drove cars to target suspected prostitutes in undisclosed parts of the city. Female officers walked the streets until they were approached by men.
Police also used a city hotel where officers waited to make arrests once a crime had been committed, LeGrice said.
The locations of the sting and the name of the hotel were withheld by police because making that information public may affect future investigations, LeGrice said.
Before the sting, fake advertisements were placed online by police on a website called [URL]BackPage.com[/URL], a free website for classified ads similar to [URL]CraigsList.com[/URL].
The operation was part of Brockton Mayor Bill Carpenter's quality of life initiative in the city to crack down on drug dealing, prostitution and other street-level crimes.
It comes after another prostitution sting on Nov. 20, when six people were arrested and one man, who had his 1-year-old son in the car, was issued a summons to appear in court.
"On the heels of the sting that we just did a couple weeks ago, this is part of an ongoing commitment from the chief and myself to proactively go after street-level quality-of-life issues," Carpenter said. "It will discourage prostitution across the city because the customers that come from out of the city will realize that if they come to Brockton they will get arrested. That's part of the message we're trying to send is don't come here to Brockton for this stuff, don't come to Brockton. ".
Police are now investigating whether any of the women arrested could be involved in human trafficking, LeGrice said. Six of the women arrested were from outside Brockton, including two who were from out of state.
"We'll follow up to see if we have any concerns that human trafficking may be involved – individuals that are being forced into this lifestyle and not by their choice," LeGrice said.
"There can be signs. If a young girl is showing any signs of any injury or things like that, their demeanor in how they're dealing with people, if they're skittish or nervous. People in these situations can come across violence. How did they get there? How were they dropped off? Those sort of things," LeGrice said.

[blue]I looked, big words, easy to beat. Use a VPN every time you post. They can't just have your pics, you can say "I have no idea who posted them, I didn't do it." If they can't tie the posts to you personally there's nothing they can do. Sounds like a honey trap, using buzz words, to attract capital to build something you can do with Goggle Image Search.

"Sex trafficking will end only when men stop buying sex".
This will never ever happen till payment for sex is legalized, & I do not believe legalization will happen here in the USA, with Nevada the current exception.
Legalization is the only logical long term solution to sex trafficking, just as legalization of alcohol was to prohibition.
People will never stop paying for what they want no matter how many laws are made & what the punishment or ramification are, it's like shoveling shit against the tide.
I know I may take shit for this but human & sex trafficking happen every day all over the world including here in the USA.
The other deterrent is the billions of dollars involved, from over inflated LE budgets, which the taxpayers pay for to every other low life parasite trying live off what others generate.
Want to stop it, legalize it, & while it won't totally stop it will reduce trafficking significantly.
As for the exploitation of minors & forcing sex work against a persons will, well public execution with a bullet to the back of the head may work.
There will be & are opposing views & I'm no expert, just my 2¢ on how I see things.

BIG Data is a big buzz kill. We all do this on a small scale when researching you next meet. These guys just commit the data to an everlasting searchable database.
In light of the fact that the TOR browser has now been shown as traceable, that SSL tunnels for major banks and other websites have been flawed for years you have to realize that privacy is a facade.
The data collection points are hard to identify and more numerous everyday. I think the usefulness of the product for LE is that it creates a compelling trail for a judge or jury to follow linking you to a crime.
These guys in the article can track, pictures, tattoos, phone numbers, web-site hits, email addresses, location data based on any of several sources, certain phrases, computer profiles, time of use, IP addresses used, and more.
Then they can combine it with government access to Cell phone data, police records, public records, GPS tracking, image location data, facial recognition, EZPass logs, On-Star GPS, credit card use.
Who knows how many databases like p411 and T-E-are, USAG they have already compromised.
Big Brother is able to get your entire email file from most ISP's if they want it. All the fully encrypted anonymous email servers are off-shore and the claims of "fully encrypted" are impossible to verify.
Being off the grid is damn near impossible. They already know who you are or at the very least they know your habits.

Those brothels in Nevada, wow, they charge a lot! And the ladies aren't able to go indie. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a brothel and give up a cut of my money. Anyway the newest article about the lawsuit in California. It's worth a shot for them. Who knew that legalization of marijuana and gay marriage was possible. So maybe we are on the way to see prostitution decriminalized. At least someone in California is trying to do something about changing the laws for consensual adults activities. Here's a toast for sex! Everything that has to do with sex should be decriminalized by now if it's between consensual adults!
