Read the article. They targeted and arrested Johns too.Looks like the cops were targeting men who were targeting underage girls. Surly they have more to do than go after adults in consenting activities.
Why? It won't hold up in court. Waste of Judge's time. Underage prostitution case will stick in court plus makes better headlines in the news. But I still be careful and I stay away from BP.Read the article. They targeted and arrested Johns too.

Det.-Sgt. Casey said he’s not concerned about detailing exactly how police caught these men because he considers it a “warning” to the men who hire prostitutes.It seems like a sensible application of the new laws. If the police use the laws to target men seeking under age prostitutes, then I think its a good use of resources. If any man is texting with a girl on backpage and the girl identifies herself as under 18, this should only have one ending - abort mission! For men seeking underage girls, they get what they deserve. I'm guessing there is enough work in tracking down these types of johns that it would be surprising if the hunt expanded beyond this scope. If johns start getting busted for seeing well reviewed providers that are of legal age, then I will reconsider my opinion.
The whole Bill C-36 is entrapment and won't survive the first constitutional challenge.okay so if I'm in the room, before I hand over any money, if I ask the girl to flash her boobs, would an undercover cop flash her boobs? would this be a way to determine if the girl is a cop? It's my understanding a cop would never flash her boobs, is this correct? If she did, that would be entrapment, and cops in Canada cannot use entrapment.

People are going to jail because of this law now.
Scary stuff.
Yes, it's targeting guys who would be OK with seeing someone under 18 (based on previous articles, it's not clear if these guys were specifically looking for someone underage.. or were just simply thinking with their cocks when their brains should have been telling them to abort). But will LE stop there?
Oh boy. Djedi, ur drama.... It was a direct punishment for seeking underage girls. Not for seeing an sp of age. Sheesh.okay so if I'm in the room, before I hand over any money, if I ask the girl to flash her boobs, would an undercover cop flash her boobs? would this be a way to determine if the girl is a cop?

Entrapment is most certainly legal in Canada.
I've heard this before Glam, but I don't see the average guy doing so. Not only for the cost involved, but the associated publicity.The whole Bill C-36 is entrapment and won't survive the first constitutional challenge.
As far as I know, there's no Canadian written law specifically allowing entrapment by law enforcement. It might not have been successfully used as a defence in prostitution cases but it has not yet been used as challenge against c36.MPA is correct, entrapment is legally accepted in Canada.
