Great use of police resources. Forget going after real criminals.
It's funny how liberal/progressive the US is with respect to gay marriage and yet prostitution is still illegal. The US have it both ways.

Leaving aside how fucking immoral prostitution stings are... Isn't announcing this shit before the fact just going to make their sting less likely to actually catch anyone?

I've represented hookers and johns in an American city. Escorts almost never get arrested. Street prostitution is a nuisance, it attracts addicts and thieves. Women get harassed on the street. Used condoms are left on the street for kids to play with as balloons, along with needles.
There is a rational reason to prosecute street prostitutes and johns. Hookers were usually treated leniently, first offenses were dismissed. If the arrests continued, probation and any incarceration was addressed to the drug problems of 99% of street girls.
I brought a motion to stop police publicity of the arrest of an accused john I represented once upon a time. Can't remember the legal basis, it was some privacy or equal protection issue I think.
Part of the argument was they weren't taking the same measures for serious felons like robbers and stabbers.

Police using social media...so then let's get some live feeds of dash cams up on facebook.
Maybe not the top-tier detectives, but a low level street guy doing a beat. Transparency, right?
