Check this out. Here in the Devil's Playground we encourage everyone to pursue their true calling. But she might have missed.

Seriously, what is the point of arresting this person?

Maybe because prostitution is illegal. I do agree that there are probably better ways to spend their time than chasing prostitutes. Do you think prostitution is a"victimless" crime? I have heard some people think that.

Yes, I do. Like seat belt and helmet laws, and many drug laws, anti-prostitution laws have only one function -- to bring in revenue for the city-county-state government. There are smarter and more lucrative ways to fill the coffers.

You know, despite my Christian beliefs.......well maybe, because of my Christian beliefs.....I have NO problem with prostitution....don't get me wrong, I think it is a very sad way for anyone to have to make a living....and I wished it didn't have to exist....but it is the oldest profession out there.....and it is a choice that is made by each individual, and it can only hurt those who make the choice to engage....the way it is now, it only enhances drug use and pimps....which SHOULD be punished to the fullest extent of the Law.......AGAIN, I'm not condoning the ACT, but IT is going to happen, despite the law......time has proved this, since the beginning.
