This has been happening for years in Montgomery, AL & Pensacola, FL and other cities. In at least one case I know of, the defense attorney (the only attorney in town who will take such a client) has made hundreds of thousands of dollars off these "sting" operations. More disturbing than that is the historical parallel to the rise of fascism it reeks of...no, it's not about sexual morality, it's about something quite different.

Consider how it works. A handsome undercover cop dressed in plain clothes makes eye contact with a suspect and licks his lips, winks, &/or nods, grabbing his own crotch provocatively. The suspect approaches the cop and the cop suggests sex and -boom- the suspect is arrested.
