The San Diego Police Department has one of the most active and aggressive vice units in the country. They dedicate their entire working hours to discovering and arresting those accused of violating California Penal Code sec. 647(b). Their tactics include sting operations, decoys and acting as both prostitutes and their clients. They are good at what they do and dedicated to their cause.
As you might imagine, most of these arrests stem from such operations. The courts have ruled that the police have wide latitude in how they may present themselves, what they can say to encourage someone to play along with their deception. Most importantly, the police DO NOT have to tell someone the truth if they are asked if they are law enforcement! They can lie about who they are, what they are doing and what they know about you. If you find yourself in such a situation, it is crucial to your defense that you contact us immediately!
