Be careful on those dating sites, more than one kind of bait-and-switch going on.

So it goes:

Undercover Officer: "Oh, you wanna have sex with my kid?" Intended Victim: "Hell, no- I'm not interested in that." Undercover Officer: "Well, f**k you- you're going to jail, anyway!" After that: "Hey, stop fighting me! STOP RESISTING!" Of course, even if someone doesn't fight with them, they have a tendancy to tack on a charge of resisting arrest and/or assaulting an officer as a general thing- especially if they want to get out of any charges of misconduct if they flip out & go after someone. It's like calling "Not it!" if they don't want to get into trouble. The same is true when they want to make someone look bad- the longer the list, the more the idea that "this one's a bad guy" is affirmed (and presenting something as truth CAN be enough to influence the situation).
