The principle of police arresting prostitutes is to catch the current situation.

"Pay attention to the current situation when whoring" is a common rule of the national police, and it is also the only feasible proof method under the current legal system.

Relevant laws

According to Article 66 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment: "Anyone who engages in prostitution or whoring shall be detained for more than 10 days and less than 15 days, and may be fined less than 5,000 yuan; If the circumstances are minor, they shall be detained for less than five days or fined less than 500 yuan. "

Article 21 If an actor who violates the administration of public security is under any of the following circumstances and should be punished by administrative detention according to this Law, he shall not be punished by administrative detention:

(a) has reached the age of fourteen but under the age of sixteen;

(2) Having reached the age of 16 but under the age of 18, violating the administration of public security for the first time;

(three) more than seventy years of age;

(four) pregnant or nursing a baby under one year old.

If there are other illegal acts in prostitution cases, such as there is evidence that the relevant personnel may be suspected of forced prostitution, according to the actual situation of the case, the police can trace the WeChat scan code records, but it is absolutely impossible to determine that the parties constitute prostitution only by WeChat scan code records.

Prostitution is only a public security violation, and it does not involve crime. Therefore, the police should not act excessively when enforcing the law, and should not violently resist the law against the law enforcement police, so as not to commit the crime of obstructing official duties.

Article 277 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "Whoever obstructs state functionaries from performing their duties according to law by violence or threats shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or a fine. Whoever violently attacks the people's police who perform their duties according to law shall be given a heavier punishment in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph. "
