Topless Woman Lured Perverts in Police Sting

The discussion centers around the legal and ethical implications of entrapment in law enforcement, particularly in cases involving public nudity and the handling of lost property. Participants express concern over sting operations that seem designed to provoke individuals into committing crimes they might not otherwise engage in, such as exposing themselves in public or picking up lost wallets. The legality of toplessness is debated, with some arguing that laws should be equal for men and women, while others question the rationale behind such laws. The conversation highlights the perceived absurdity of law enforcement prioritizing these types of operations over more serious crimes, suggesting that such tactics do not effectively protect public safety but rather create unnecessary legal issues for otherwise law-abiding citizens. Overall, the thread critiques the role of police in setting up scenarios that lead to arrests, framing it as a misuse of resources and a failure to focus on preventing real crime.

Say that next time somebody steals your money. It wasn't wrong, according to the stealer's morality.

I was saying that morality is not a good defense in response to your comment that it couldn't be a crime since it was not immoral. You are now repeating the same argument that it's not wrong if the thief doesn't think it's immoral. I continue to find this a poor defense on the grounds that everyone's morality is relative to their own situation. That's why there are written laws since what is moral for this guy and what is moral for that gal is unwritten.

These things can come close the police even going one step closer to, say, even a undercover cop handing out money that was recovered from a robbery---then busting that person for having possession of money from a robbery. ---but, 'over tempting' just to get extra arrests and the cash flow from those arrests is terrible---it's mostly about the money for fines, etc. why I think some of that goes on.

I wonder of the guy who got busted could file a counter charge that the police are contributing to delinquency. But then that may only be illegal if it occurs with a minor.

Perhaps its not illegal for an adult to contribute to the delinquency of another adult?

Why do they CONFINE women who want to go topless just to the parks?
They don't! In Columbus, toplessness in public is legal!

Incidentally, CPD is claiming that this was not a sting operation, and the topless woman was not working for them.

It's legal to go topless anywhere in Ontario.

Flashing at concerts is legal.

What on Earth makes you think I'm conservative?

fine, i'll say "relatively conservative".

What from that makes you think I'm conservative? I'm fairly certain that nowhere in there did I express any of my own personal preferences, my intent was simply to describe the world as I think TV show producers see it. That has (or at least should have) nothing to do with how I see the world.

(Do I interpolate then that you have been thinking my personal preference is against interracial relationships on TV shows? That that would be a complete misunderstanding of the whole conversation.)

In the link you refer to yourself and the viewing audience as relatively conservative

No, I explicitly state a difference between myself and the viewing audience. Read it again, carefully:

("Heck, a heterogeneous relationship is a distraction to you?")

"Not to me, to the viewing audience, which is considered as relatively conservative by show writers."

I see what you're saying. The sentence looks (until clarification) like you meant it the other way.

The real point though, is that my personal opinions are irrelevant as it is an academic discussion. I might be anywhere on the bell curve, but it doesn't make hoot of difference, since what we were talking about was - not what you or I believe should be the case - but those who write the shows actually do. I only stated my personal viewpoint because you were asking the question as if is was personal, not academic.

If the woman wasn't working for them, why were the undercover cops there, why would the woman ask such an upfront question, and why were the cops able to hear the conversation and have a video of it?
