I don't know. You are the one telling the story. I'll assume you are telling the truth.

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.

My former boss loaned me her vehicle so I could watch her children for a few months. They recently got into daycare. She threatened me through text that she would report it stolen since I wouldnt watch her kids Monday due to illness. Is that illegal?

Sounds like you probably should return the car and find a new friend.

I need to talk to a cop not to submit a crime but to see if this is a crime or to much punishment for my age.

Can the police stop cars with young kids in the front seat to tell them that it is not safe even though in NYS it is not illegal? This is a major problem where I live. Kids as young as 6 commonly sit in the front seat.

Asked by Jo about 11 years ago

No. A police officer may not forcibly detain someone without reasonable suspicion of an illegal act.

Your example would be akin to police officers stopping someone because they had a Big Mac and you believe fast food isn't healthy. Police officers have enough to do just enforcing criminal laws. They should not play nanny too.
