You misunderstand. Soliciting merely means the act of trying to procure sex for money.
They don't need a sting for that. They just sit someone near a red light district and roll every car that pulls up and let's known sex workers get in their car.
Edit: not saying any of that is right though. It certainly feels like punching down... And if anything, it encourages some far more dangerous practices, particularly for sex workers.
So, you can get arrested for being in a particular place, or giving a ride to a particular person, regardless of your actions or intent?
Always has been meme
Again, you misunderstand. They arrest you because of your actions and specifically because of the intent.
The actions aren't illegal and they can't know your intent.
