Good news for prostitutes

[ding]

Good news for prostitutes. They will no longer be prosecuted for selling sex.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office announced Wednesday that it would no longer prosecute prostitution and unlicensed massage, putting the weight of one of the most high-profile law enforcement offices in the United States behind the growing movement to change the criminal justice system’s approach to sex work.

The office will continue to prosecute other crimes related to prostitution, including patronizing sex workers, promoting prostitution and sex trafficking, and said that its policy would not stop it from bringing other charges that stem from prostitution-related arrests.

That means, in effect, that the office will continue to prosecute pimps and sex traffickers, as well as people who pay for sex, continuing to fight those who exploit or otherwise profit from prostitution without punishing the people who for decades have borne the brunt of law enforcement’s attention.

So... pimps and johns are shit outta luck.

Going to be hella-hard to make any prostitution related arrests if hookers can't be prosecuted. Just exactly how do they think they will make a case exactly?

 

[Manonthestreet]

IRS though will prosecute for non-reporting

 

[fncceo]

To be fair, criminalization of sexual activity amounts to restraint of trade.

But touching, grabbing, fondling, groping, and sniffing toddlers and pre-teens is perfectly legal now!!

So sayeth the POTUS!!!

Well you just said they will prosecute "promoting" prostitution. So will they prosecute for standing on the street corner, or running ads, but not the actual act?

Like most liberal ideas it really makes no sense

Prostitutes have their ups and downs, but mostly their business is looking up. The better business is, the more somebody goes in the hole.

No. That's the pimp they will be after. So vice cops are out of a job.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

BUT...............

If the cops now have to ASK for their permission to arrest them, they surely won't say "yes"!!!!

So it's a win/win for the old pimparoonies and his ho-ho's.

 

[ding]

Right, the only guy who will get "screwed" (pun intended) is the John. Lady vice cops can pose as hookers and bust the Johns who solicit them. Of course the Johns will wise up and won't ask for sex but will wait for the "hooker" to solicit business. So either way, vice cops are done. They might as well legalize it because they have effectively legalized it without having to face voter retribution.

Did you guys hear about the prostitute that was raped?

The offender was charged with theft.

dude that was hilarous...thank, you

Prostitution should be decriminalized.

Why is it Big Gubmint's business to tell people whom they can and can't have sex with?

. . . so hypothetically then. . .

It would be legal for the GOP to contract out to have everyone in the Biden administration assassinated because;

"Why is it Big Gubmint's business to tell people whom they can and can't," do business with?

. . . but it would only be illegal for the assassin to actually do the deed?




. . . because, the government should NOT be in the business of worrying about moral failings, whether it be the exploitation of young female & male workers, or the improper hiring of subcontractors. . . ethics, in your view, are not the government's business, is that right?

Little girl: mommy, I want to grow up to be a prostitute.

Mom: That's good, honey. Just don't be a pimp because that would be illegal.

 

[ding]

How about if the pimps were women? Would that be ok?

I'd trust a whore to be honest a WHOLE LOT quicker than I would a politician of any party. At least she works for a living...
