When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.

Do the police handle illegal sites, videos on the internet? If so why are there so many sites and videos still up? Is there anything that I can do to stop these things from happening?

Asked by Azzy almost 11 years ago

Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet. Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases. For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay about 11 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement. Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.
