Well that was interesting. I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of the population centers in Central NY. My client was charged with having something you're not supposed to have. I'm pleased to report that the case was dismissed (thanks, of course, to my fine legal work ... and a good judge, reasonable prosecutor, and some well-written laws).
Anyway, the circumstances were interesting. Client approached a woman on the street and invited her for a drink at a bar. She declined. He then asked if she'd like to try an illicit substance. She agreed, and then arrested him. She was an undercover cop, posing as a prostitute. I should note here that there's no indication my client made any attempt to seek sexual contact with our intrepid police officer.
When I was in Court, the lawyer next to me had a similar case where a different woman cop from the same police force was also posing undercover when his client offered her a substance about which the laws of the State of New York are not quite as tolerant.
What is going on in Central NY where so many women cops are doing undercover work posing as prostitutes? I've been handling criminal defense in Albany Schenectady Troy etc. for over three years now and haven't even seen one case like this. It's my impression that there is a fair amount of prostitution going on here, but maybe Central New York has us beat on this industry.
Word to the wise - don't have sex with prostitutes. So many reasons why this is a bad idea. Following the great Joycelyn Elders (our former Surgeon General) I have to suggest that sex with a prostitute can't be that much better than masturbation.

Move to Toronto! On a Saturday night you can't tell the real call girls from the female cops who populate the bars. If the cop doesn't like you, she'll say you prop'd her and threaten to bust you. It really pisses the hookers off ! Lighten up bud. You have a lot to learn, and it isn't about law. For humanity, I'll take a nice hooker over a female cop any day. I have nothing to do with either on the sex level, but the lady cops are getting even for all the men who've told them they aren't interested. Also, the cops show far more of their bodies than the hookers. They just aren't nice women: I really think they are a version of female predators cloaked with authority. Its not pleasant, but thats the way it is.
