There is no guarantee from never being arrested from a rotten cop. Luckily the vast majority are not. But what we are talking about were safeguards.
We are talking about being in a job that is illegal. Therefore the only sure fire way NOT to get arrested is to retire. But then again a rotten cop could still arrest you for prostitution.
For prostitution to happen an AGREEMENT to exchange services for goods needs to have transpired. No sex needs to have taken place. I challenge you to find a department that condones their officers having sex with ladies.
What I was addressing was your point to a "False Sense of Security". I think we can agree that unless you personally know someone or can trust a provider that vouches for a client that anything further is in fact a false sense of security from being arrested.
Below is what one woman did to protect herself from being falsely accused. She taped the conversation. Do with it what you will.

A Houston Police Department vice officer appeared in court this morning after being arrested during the weekend on two charges of tampering with a government record in connection with a prostitution arrest.
Samuel Anthony Roccaforte, 57, is accused of arresting a woman for prostitution and filing a false police record about what the 45-year-old said in her bedroom.
The woman, whose prostitution charges have been dropped, protested being arrested for offering sex in exchange for money.
On tape, the officer can be heard saying, “Well, you did, you know you did, I know you did. There's no audio, there's no video. It's gonna be my word against yours and who do you think they're going to believe?” according to court records

Or "by entering this site, you agree that you're not associated with law enforcement." Wouldn't that be a great trick for everyone cooking meth and growing weed, a little sign posted on their front door saying "cops not welcome?"

Agreed and that is why I agreed with your statement about having a false sense of security being the worst thing one can have. Below you will see how having a DL means nothing about a client being who he says he is. If any ladies think that a vice officer can not also have fake jobs with what appear to be perfectly good phone numbers and references.......then we are again back to that false sense of security. And that brings us back to what I think is the best safeguard. Which is do not discuss money or activities, again read what the lady in the above link protected herself by doing.

Alias licenses are issued in a fictitious name, allowing officers in undercover investigations to possess a valid Texas driver's license using a phony name and address. The Texas Transportation Code,
Section 521.452, spells out how the
Texas Department of Public Safety can issue so-called "alias driver's licenses" for any officer who is working on undercover investigations. It requires a written letter from the police department that employs the officer

Well there you go folks, 90% the women in North America and half in Europe are already employing the best defense against LE!
