When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.
