Posts: 3255As Bad As Tax Revenues Are These Days
I'll bet Prostitution is being considered for legalisation. Most likely it's not the Cash Cow Marijuana is. But it's possibly decent enough for taxation revenue.

Posts: 214There's a lot of grey areas on both sides of the argument.
Stings used to almost always target the women, but there was backlash, some of it well thought out, that it was just leading to a bunch of young, poor, addicted women getting saddled with fines they'd never pay and court appearances they'd never make with no effort at all to help them out of their situations. So to make enforcement sound more societally beneficial, the focus shifted to 'end the demand' and shaming men caught trying to hobby. It still didn't do anything to help the women that might want help, but at least stopped portraying them as the criminals. In the last few years, the 'trafficking' angle is almost always used, since that's pretty widely agreed on as a universal evil. But as you already mentioned, its much more likely a girl is being victimized or exploited by a local pimp or 'handler' (or even an agency from some of the posts in those threads) than a 'Law and Order' stereotyped trafficker funneling busloads of underage girls in from other countries.
On our side of things, we do need to stop projecting the image of the nice, independent girl just trying to pay her way through college onto every provider that throws up an ad, because unfortunately the truth behind the scenes is a lot of times much sadder. If we ever want to see this legalized, then both sides need to be there, both the free market and removal of criminalization, and support for low-income, addicted, or exploited girls that want help.

Posts: 209If it was me I wouldn't.
If I encountered an ongoing sting there is no way I would post it here or anywhere. Obstruction of Justice or "Interfering with a police investigation" by posting it on the internet when the police have my name would not be worth the risk.

But there's a lot of Puritanism or whatever you want to call it, driving the enforcement as well.
And then there's the people living whee it's happening, especially with streetwalkers. I wouldn't want that happening in front of my house. But a mile away? Sure, LOL. Of course, the people living there feel the same way.
Also, agreed on the erroneous conflation of consensual escorting with "trafficking". I think most or nearly all of us here will avoid situations involving pimps or other coercive setups. That shit is disgusting
