» How Can A Lawyer Help Me in a Sex Crime Case? Prostitution is one of those legal issues that creates an intense debate and will likely remain an issue in America for years to come. On the one hand, many feel prostitution is a victimless crime, only made dangerous as a result of its unregulated status and the fact that prostitutes cannot turn to authorities for help when exposed to violence or other criminal acts. Others feel that the prostitutes themselves are often the victims, and point to human trafficking, slavery, and violence against prostitutes as proof of that point. Regardless of which side of the debate one takes, there are still a number of factual and legal considerations when it comes to prostitution in the United States. Identification/Entrapment
One of the most common myths is that an undercover police officer has to admit to being a police officer if asked directly while posing as either a prostitute or a “John.” This is a myth, for obvious reasons. Cops never have to identify themselves or tell the truth in any situation.
