This is so ludicrous and beyond the pale that it’s hard to come up with a way to defend it. Aside from the obvious entrapment issue, I would think the kind of guys who they think they’re going after are exactly the kind who wouldn’t approach a woman like this. The article also discusses other nutball ways of entrapping people into committing various ‘crimes.’ Glad I live in Vegas where our cops have more pressing issues like preventing people from feeding the homeless.
ABC News: Topless Woman Lured Perverts for Police
Robin Garrison, an off-duty 42-year-old firefighter, was walking in Berliner Park in Columbus, Ohio, in May when he saw a woman sunbathing topless under a tree.
He approached her and they started talking and getting comfortable, the woman smiling and resting her foot on his shoulder at one point.
Eventually, she asked to see Garrison’s penis; he unzipped his pants and complied.
Seconds later, undercover police officers pulled up in a van and arrested Garrison; he was later charged with public indecency, a misdemeanor, based on video footage taken by cops who were targeting men having sex or masturbating in the park. While topless sunbathing is legal in the city’s parks, exposing more than that is against the law.
