Yeah,that’s working out swell with marijuana.
This prostitution law promises to simultaneously crack down on human trafficking and underage protitution, but actually incentivizes both, while increasing law enforcement costs of sorting out who’s guilty of what.
You’re right, people are still gonna do it. But when quality of life/nuisance crimes are arrestable offenses, it deters most people altogether, while forcing those “who’ll do it anyway” to hide behind closed doors and stay on the run, or at least operate only in crime-ridden neighborhoods.
Legalizing it means law abiding conservatives who pay high dollar to live in safer neighborhoods now have no recourse, no basis upon which to call the cops. It’s legal! And now we’re the bigots, the haters, harassing the poor girls—and trannies— servicing customers next door, or in parked cars, and inviting our teenage sons to stop by!
I don’t want legally permitted & emboldened prostitutes opening up shop on my block, any more than I want stoners toking and shooting up at my door. I don’t want ANY of this around my kids. Do you?
The “people are gonna do it anyway, so let’s encourage more people to do it” argument is why we have 60 million dead babies, and the general moral disintegration that surrounds abortion; it’s why our cities are coming apart at the seams, and it’s getting harder to find a safe, sane place to live.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to unleash a rant on you. But the “let’s just regulate & tax it” trope is a common one that most folks don’t think through to its consequences.
False. Hog rendering is legal, yet the law doesn't (typically) permit it in neighborhoods.
