DoingIt: Wow. The SW busts fit with Tuesday as being "Vice Day" in Cincinnati.
It certainly looks like a street sweep. Tuesday has long been the day LE picks up street workers (and ignorant mongers).
Are there records of exactly where the arrests were made? And how do long-time SWs get arrested? Surely they know how NOT to be entrapped by LE. Of course, LE can and does use quasi-legal tricks (or blatantly illegal actions?). Mongers know (or should) how to avoid explicitly offering $ for service. Shouldn't it be easy for an SW to have their LE-dar tuned to entrapment?
When will the public see that "public safety" is better served by spending LE monies than to hassle street workers? Are we now safer? And gun-toting drug boys? Still active. Sorry--drug violence stems from laws of prohibition, not from girls on the street.
[QUOTE=Doingitmyway;1262547]Judging by the consecutive female pics on cincymugshots, I would say there was a bust somewhere? I haven't checked the news yet.[/QUOTE]

In Germany, they tax SWs, and provide "consummation areas"
Germans are WAY ahead of Cincinnati and all other US cities. And they are adding to their tax coffers in the process. SWs must deposit about $8 to get a ticket which allows them to walk the streets:

Here is the BBC article on the subject:

Also, in Bonn, there are erected wooden cubicles,"consummation areas" to provide a little privacy for a car date. Dunno what the fee for these is:

With Cincinnati's deep German roots, what do you think the chances are that we will see these facilities anytime soon in our fair city?
