The New Jersey ACLU is slamming the city's police department for a sting operation that netted 13 prostitution-related arrests this weekend, arguing that the department is wasting its time targeting "consenting" adults.
The arrests, according to a lengthy statement from ACLU-NJ Executive Director Udi Ofer, "raise concerns yet again about Newark's embrace of failed and destructive 'Broken Windows' policing strategies." "Using our criminal justice system to harass, arrest and incarcerate consenting adults who agree to exchange sex for money is a poor use of the NPD's limited resources," he said.

It’s against the city code.
Go directly to hell, and don’t collect $200 dollars.

Next up they’ll want all bank robbers and shoplifters to not be arrested. But they’ll scream bloody murder if their house was invaded by some perp they wanted to have let free.

How do they know all the girls are consenting. ACLU supports human trafficking now.

It’s illegal only because government can’t tax it.

Shouldn’t they be picketing the NJ Legislature in Trenton? Demanding that they change the law?

The ACLU can F off. This may be the only opportunity some of these girls—yes girls— have to get away from the pimps who are trafficking them around. Often police departments offer a way out for these girls who may have been kidnapped, tricked, or coerced into prostitution and have not say in the acts they are forced into.

Wouldn’t solicitation in Newark involve a very good chance of getting a date with the wrong plumbing?

Most prostitution in Nevada is of the illegal variety.
Which makes sense.

The problem with public prostitution is not that it's an exchange of sex for money it is that it is sex act done in public. The private exchange of sex for money is amiably arranged at wholesale levels everyday on the Internet and even in many wedding chapels. What, after all, is a prenuptial agreement?
Any city does have a legitimate interest in patrolling its streets and in engaging in what is known as "broken Windows" law-enforcement because it is a demonstrably effective way to reduce crime at all levels.
In Germany prostitution is legal, relatively disease-free, relatively free of white slavery and in most locations (Homburg, for example, excepted) conducted off the streets. The German system is better by every test except those which appeal to hypocrites

Lawyers and whores. What else is there to say?
