A police sting in Syracuse, NY went weird when the prostitute asked the john if he was a cop and he said no.

Now this might sound pretty standard at this point, but you see, the john really was a cop, and the prostitute, well, she may not have been a prostitute but she also was no cop.

The fake prostitute was charged with first-degree criminal impersonation, prostitution (since she’d offered sex) and fifth-degree conspiracy.
