And what is the definition of a "high-crime" area? Is the definition so specific that one can go a find it on a map? Are the exact blocks and sides of the street listed?

Also, if a police cruiser is driving by and sees someone waving his arms, how does he know that that person was convicted of a prostitution offense in the last two years?

Once he goes up to the person he might be able to look up the info on his computer, but then he might need to arrest the guy and bring him downtown and hold him until the info is retrieved.

This is way too vague and silly and slippery.

"This is way too vague and silly and slippery."

Well, the best way to test this to your satisfaction is to go there and do one or more of the following:

1. Beckon passers-by with conversation.

2. Attempt to stop traffic by waving your arms.

3. Circle an area in a vehicle.

4. Try to stop pedestrians.

5. Ask a potential prostitute if she is a police officer.

Now, if you try this, be sure to have someone videotaping the whole incident so we can see it on O'Reilly.
