Don't be fooled - Be safe!
Please be sure to read the entire article at the bottom of this page. It's filled with so much valuable information about cops identifying themselves.
I see TONS of silly working girls who are unaware of the laws, in particular, the entrapment laws. Cops can pretty much do whatever they want in order to arrest you. They can fuck you on Monday, then come back and arrest you on Tuesday. Don't be fooled!
Q: Do cops always have to identify themselves when asked?
A: No. A common misconception is that people can identify an undercover officer by asking if they're a cop. The officers can legally say no.
This happened earlier this month when the Seattle police Vice Unit conducted a prostitution sting near the West Precinct. Officers were wearing plain clothes and driving regular vehicles. In at least two of the incidents, the alleged prostitutes asked an undercover officer if he was a cop. The officer said no. They agreed to a sex act for $40 and were arrested. One of those was found to have a Department of Corrections warrant for escape.
"How could you possibly do undercover work if you didn't lie under certain circumstances?" police spokesman Jeff Kappel said, adding officers also lie in some scenarios to protect officer safety. In some undercover operations, officers pose as utility workers, mail carriers or package delivery people. Police also lie in some interrogation scenarios and can do so legally. But officers can't lie to get you to commit a crime you wouldn't otherwise commit. That's entrapment, spelled out in section 12A.04.109 of the Seattle Municipal Code: SMC 12A.04.190 Entrapment.
A. In any prosecution for a crime, it is a defense that: 1. The criminal design originated in the mind of law enforcement officials, or any person acting under their discretion; and 2. The actor was lured or induced to commit a crime which the actor had not otherwise intended to commit. B. The defense of entrapment is not established by a showing only that law enforcement officials merely afforded the actor an opportunity to commit a crime.
