If the testimony of an undercover officer is to be universally disregarded — it would leave an unprosecutable crime.

Maybe it should be an unprosecutable crime. I would imagine that there are serious crimes out there that the police should be working instead of wasting their time on a victimless crime.

Maybe so — but, that isn’t for the DA or the Cops to decide. The law is the law, and their job is to arrest and prosecute those that break it. If the law should be changed, then the legislature will have to change it.

Fundamentally, I see your point on legalization. What business is it of mine (or the governments) if a couple wants to exchange sex for cash (or whatever)? No harm, no foul. On the other hand, the law is what it is — and actively legalizing prostitution is tantamount to an endorsement, which I am not in favor of.
