How can prostitution be arrestable? Other than an actual sting involving an officer, the exchange of money wouldn't be witnessed in almost all cases. So it's just two strangers having sex?

No. The expression you looking for is “proof beyond a reasonable doubt”. What you wrote is proof beyond any doubt, which is not the legal standard.

Also, please take a look at Florida Chapter 796, or if you were concerned about another location, look at the state or local laws for that location. You will probably see that actually engaging in the act of sex is one of several ways that you could violate prostitution laws.
