...or even touch it was what one person told me. If it is a female undercover LE, she will not do it and you can just leave.
But it is obsoleteadvice, pointless and doesn't work because cops are allowed to lie and will do almost anything to keep up the facade. They may even have immunity agreements for certain misdemeanors committed while undercover.
Also, in the modern age, they will have all the info they need from texts and there will usually be no female officer involved. Possibly one may be on hand in case someone calls the line. As soon as you get to the motel room, six meathead cops will tackle you to the ground, confiscate your phone to confirm the messages, arrest you, process you, and in NYS probably issue you an appearance ticket as it is a misdemeanor.
Then setup for the next guy.
I've done A LOT of research on stings, mostly watching YT videos and reading articles from around the US. Some of the police departments love to brag about how they get these guys, especially Grady Judd down in Florida. Use that to your advantage. lol
An escort agent I watched on YT even claimed that in Las Vegas, male cops will have sex with the escort and then pull out his badge and arrest her, which I am skeptical about as I cannot see that holding up in court if she has a somewhat competent lawyer.
