These type police stings sort of creep me out. I don’t approve of prostitution but I don’t approve of these type stings either.
The officer in the video came across as this was something he enjoyed. What these people did is obviously wrong but something like this will destroy lives. Everyone of them are considered guilty until proven guilty or not guilty.
I think the Polk county sheriff is known for doing this type of thing.
They are just putting out the bait and NOBODY is being forced to take it.
When they do, it is NOT by accident. It’s not like they are being confronted in a real life situation where they may be coerced or pressured into making and unwise split second decision.
When it’s porn over the internet, they have time to think about and and make their decision of their own free will.
If they don’t want the consequences, they shouldn’t be engaging in that kind of stuff.
These folks taking the bait are doing something illegal. How else do you propose catching them? Would you prefer the sexual abuse of women, and probably children, continue?
Arresting the users in hopes that the dealers will go away... doesn’t work for sex crimes either.
