The Cop Myth is a pervasive and dangerous legal fallacy believed by many a novice Client. It dictates that if a client asks an Escort "Are you a police officer?", an undercover officer conducting a Sting Operation is legally obligated to tell the truth. This is entirely false. Undercover law enforcement can and will lie about their identity. Relying on this myth instead of conducting proper Screening routinely leads to arrests in criminalized jurisdictions.
