I agree with iloveyourpost. This is a little too harsh. If they're gonna lock someone in a pillory and throw tomatoes at them, why not start with real criminals, or, at least, convicted drunk drivers? At least these six look like they pay taxes.

Lightfoot,you are entitled to your oppinion, but you are wrong on the bait car criticizm. I wonder if people really know what entrapment is? When you have a rash of cars being stolen and set a bait car out and a few get arrested, then the reports of stolen cars go down..I think it worked, but that is just my opinion.

So I guess that Wake Forest is a better place to live now when those six terrible men have been taken off the street and been humiliated. Personally I would rather see killers, drug dealers, thieves, rapists and child molesters getting caught in stings and arrested.

Or take a cheaper trip to Nevada. Take in a show and a, uh, what rhymes with "show"? :)

Entrapping people in victim-less crimes with a fake prostitution scam? What a waste of time, taxpayer money, and resources. There's not enough real crime out there for them to fight, so they create their own virtual crimes to entice people in? Legalize prostitution and regulate/tax it. Cops should be out catching REAL criminals, not trying to create their own via prostitute sting operations.

The same goes toward those bait car scams. They can't catch the real car thieves, so they setup a bait car to entice people to steal it so they can make an arrest. Another pathetic waste of money.

Time to cut the police budget, they obviously have too much money and free time dreaming up garbage like this! How many textbooks could this "sting" money have purchased?

Everybody knows we have real problems in this country. Cops make themselves look like imbeciles when they do something like this and then brag about it as if they are cleaning up the streets like real cops.

If you know this before you get to these stores, why not call 911 and tell them? You can't expect them to post an officer at EVERY corner...that will never happen..and hey they are probably handling another call that you have no idea about so it will take time for them to respond...

The police already know the spots, they are there everyday...the same ones. I'm not about to babysit these officers, for such an easy target, and a small enough area for a handful officers to do something about it.

"Nationwide growing trend of prostitution." Really? It's the world's OLDEST profession. It's been around a long time and is not going away.

Well, at least they're doing something useful instead of sitting on Heritage Lake Rd with radar guns.

The same way they set this prostitution sting up, why they want set up the drug dealers that hang around these corner stores, on Martin St, Bragg St, Carver St,(just to name a few) every single day? I drive cabs for the City of Raleigh, and when I pull up to the stores with a customer in my cab, drug dealers are running to the car, breaking their necks to sell their drugs. Police can't tell me they have a hard time catching these drug dealers, when they are making it obvious, to what they are doing.
