Milton, I am sorry to hear about those incidents that you've experienced. However, I cannot say that I'm not surprised by them.

I'm thinking that "profiling" is no longer an accurate term. Perhaps a better term to use in its place is "assuming". We know what ultimately happens when someone does that.

Speaking of female cops dressing as prostitutes... that is certainly entrapment in my book. In fact, it stands to reason that a man accused of soliciting prostitution, when in reality he was soliciting a female cop, could and should not be charged, since he was in fact committing no crime. That is, the crime of soliciting prostitution presumes that the person being solicited is a prostitute in the first place.

Then again, as I've said before, cops aren't after justice... they're after our money. And they obviously can never get enough of it.
