Prostitution question (Theoretical)

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?Fl

I know I am going to get ripped by this post, however I would still like the opinions of the legal pros. on this site. Keep in mind I have never been in contact nor do I have ever plan on being in contact with a prostitue. Heck, I have never even seen one except on the show 'Cops"

Here goes...

Statement:
* If a person approaches an undercover officer posing as a prostitute and offers money for sexual favors or accepts sexual favors for money the person will be arrested and/or cited...True statement??

Question:
If a person approaches an undercover officer posing as a prostitute and the officer proposes sexual favors for money, the person says "I will not pay you for sexual favors, however I can lend you some money if you need to borrow it, but you will have to pay me back the same amount I lend you. But I would still like to have sex with you because I think your attractive"...Is a legal crime being commited in this highly unlikey situation being that the person did not technically offer or agree to pay money for sexual favors??

I understand the underline motive here is "Sex for money" and the person would probably not convince a judge of the above statement, most likely leading to a conviction. However, like I said I am just looking for the opinions and comments from our legal pros. here at 'Freeadvice.com'

I have prepared myself for a few comments I am probably going to receive.

Future comments:

* "Go try it and tell us what happens"...Answer - No, I would probably have to drive to Miami or Downtown Fort Lauderdale and that is too far of a drive. Besides, I can't afford it.

* " You have tried it or you know someone who has"....Answer - No I haven't, (please refer to the opening statement) nor have I ever known anyone (to my knowledge) that has approached a prostituite or has been a prostitute.

* "You have no life"....Answer - Very true, since I closed my company 7 months ago I do nothing but work and play on the computer. Once in a while my wife and I go out to dinner and/or a movie and on Saturdays we watch 'Cops'

No ... the correct phrasing would be: " ... MAY be arrested and/or cited ..."

If a person approaches an undercover officer posing as a prostitute and the officer proposes sexual favors for money, the person says "I will not pay you for sexual favors, however I can lendyou some money if you need to borrow it, but you will have to pay me back the same amount I lend you.

Sexual favors are being provided in exchange for a monetary benefit. You would go to jail. Even if you were a loan officer at a bank, I doubt that this argument would do anything but amuse the courtroom.

My response:

Have you guys ever thought of "roll playing"?

Have your wife dress up all smutty, and slutty, wearing fish-net stockings, a mini skirt, and an open blouse. Then, put her on a street corner on Main Street. Drive by, and play your "offer and acceptance" games.

Use your imagination!

dan148, I hope you won't mind my hitchiking on your post but my question is so close to yours that I thought it might be best to ask it here rather than start a whole new thread.

If an undercover cop asks a prostitute what she charges for a specific activity and she says "For you it's free". Has she done anything that he can arrest her for?

It depends on your state law. If soliciting for sex is a crime, then, "Yes", she can be arrested.

Many people have tried these little dodges ... it's "free" but when the act is complete, the prostitute suggests a "tip", or "cab fare". They don't fly.

CdwJava - Thanks for that input.

BlondeIntel - I don't mind at all

I am always liable - What can I say, your replies always amuse me...I think that's why I continue to read on this forum.

My response:

Thanks for the publicity and for reading. That's my intent, to keep people interested, amused, informed, and coming back!

Although I don't always agree to the way you present some of your replies, the truth is that your replies are oddly enough 'Reality' And it's unfortunate that some of the people that post here can't read "Between the lines", If you will!!!
Even though I laugh most of the time at your replies I still have feelings towards some of the "Posters" But I understand the relevance and signifigance of your replies. However, if every "poster" saw things the way I do than this forum probably wouldn't be as interesting as it is now.
So, I leave you with this...KEEP IT UP

Surprisingly, that's what Mrs. Liable said to me last night!

Most of the people that come here are as dumb as a bucket of rocks, and have no common sense. They whine, moan, bitch, and scream. And the rest couldn't put a coherent sentence together if their lives depended upon it.

I just read 7 pages of your posts, your statement above is 100% correct. It is unbelievable that some of these people actually post this stuff. My favorite one (so far... I still have 500 more pages to go through) is:
"If I sell my car do my speeding tickets go away"

You have got to be kidding me!!! That one had to either be a joke or someone who didn't get past elementary school.
Hey, If sell the bat I used to beat the hell out of my neighbor..do my charges get dropped???

By the way, I proposed to my wife that we try "Roll Playing" as you recommended. She wasn't to fond of the whole prostitute thing but there are other possibilities
Gotta keep reading now..

My response:

On December 15, 2004, I'm holding our annual "Most Stupid Post" contest. There are already a number of past posts for consideration, and we STILL have 5 months left before December!

I'll be posting the various posts after Thanksgiving for everyone to read and vote on. Then, on December 15, 2004, the Grand Prize will be awarded - - a brand new 2005 Corvette! Of course, there will be no engine or transmission because that's the way people from Georgia and Alabama like their cars - - ready to be placed on blocks in their driveways!

So, keep reading and watching!

I can't wait for that, I will surely enjoy reading those...
Well, It's Saturday night..gotta get ready for 'Cops' and see the same idiots that post on this forum on the show. And then start "Roll playing"

[CdwJava]

Keep your eyes open ... you might see me on there from an episode long, long ago. Oh ... I should probably point out, I'll be one of the guys in uniform - not standing in front of the trailer.

I know you just quoted IAAL on that, but does "roll playing" have anything to do with dressing up as the Pillsbury Dough Boy? Or perhaps you prefer a "dinner roll"? It's interesting because the rest of us I think prefer nurses, librarians or school teachers when we "role" play

Point taken!!! However the pillsbury dough boy isn't a bad idea
