Ok, say you are advertising yourself on Craigslist for prostitution in the erotic services section. A cop?

no, they do not have to tell you jack. \n\nThey get away with it because there are far too many of them to keep busting.  The fuzz can't keep up with it.

It's not normally legal to advertise sexual services.\n\nThe use of sexual imagery in advertising considered "a sure thing" in the advertising industry.  It prevents overpaid ad execs having to think too much.

my hats off tou you for making law enforcement your career path. I really respect you folks. to answer you question, I think it depends on the guy. Some of us guys are very shallow and some just plain ignorant etc.you could be a cop a ceo or a vip... doesnt really matter. what matters is who you are not what you do.

Perhaps you should ask your arresting officer.

They can do it because "Craigslist" is not responsible and no law enforcement agency has jurisdiction over crimes committed in "cyber space."  Our concepts of jurisdiction have not yet evolved to encompass acts done where there is no location for the action.  The F.B.I. could probably prosecute, but it is not worth the effort since they would have to find a way to PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt what "100 roses" really meant and what services were really being offered.

First you need to get drunk, strip naked and hit a cop.  This will let them know you mean business.
