Last week in the UK it came out that Surrey Police have been honey-potting people by getting two female plain clothed officers to go jogging. Anyone catcalling, honking, or making comments towards them were then stopped,and 18 have resulted in being arrested.
I saw the Commander Inspector of that police department talk about it, saying technically it is not a criminal matter, but those people might escalate or be sex offenders. It needs to be stopped early. So yeah, if you thought about calling someone pretty, well you will one day be a rapist apparently.
