OK, a “free” “republic” is one in which police responding to a complaint of illegal activity who arrive on the scene and see apparent evidence of the validity of the complaint must allow any of the participants to immediately leave.
No investigation is allowed.
Come on, I hope we can agree that people with such a view understand neither ‘free’ nor ‘republic’.
“...of illegal activity who arrive on the scene and see apparent evidence of the validity of the complaint must allow any of the participants to immediately leave.”
And not make them accountable for their illegal actions?
When did that become part of a “free” “republic”?
There was no complaint in this case. Two cops just decided she was probably a prostitute. No Probable Cause.

2 people kissing passionately is an illegal act? Where do you live?

If you think kissing passionately is potentially illegal and thus rises to “probable cause” then there is nothing “free” about the “republic” where you live.
Certainly the police can investigate according to the level of the LEGITIMATE Probable Cause they have, and in a true "Free Republic", unbiased courts closely monitor the types, levels and validity of Probable Cause.
A complaint of "prostitution" would be rendered moot by verbal identification of husband and wife, a complaint of "having sex in public (if illegal)" would not be moot, and would need further investigation.
