Listen, this is all very funny and cool. However, does anyone find it weird to think that our tax dollars are paying a police officer to dress up in lingerie and post ads for sex on the internet in hopes of luring people in for arrest?
Wouldn’t this money be better spent providing housing, food, and social support to women actually in the business of selling themselves?
Depends. Does it actually protect kids on the internet from potential rapes or muggings? If so, then I’d love to see the cost to apprehend vs statistical decreases for these particular instances. If it’s helpful and cost for safety is right then I’m for it.
they do this really often with drugs, it’s a really trivial way to get arrests, it’s a bit weird that they’re doing it for prostitution, I guess its probably related to the funny anti trans pastor existing, considering they probably live in a highly conservative area, so maybe police just kinda do this shit when bored?
oh, i guess it could be maybe for human/sex trafficking.
I have a very formative memory of watching Cops, and in the (had to have been mid-90s episode), the cops were doing an undercover sting. In that they were pretending to be dealers hanging out on a corner, literally selling dime bags of weed to just regular people and then busting them around the corner.
Even as a kid, I was disgusted. I could not believe that they not only had nothing better to do, but thought this would be a “badass operation” to put on national TV.
I was s child and I immediately thought of several better ways of spending their time… I mean shit, swap out weed for heroin.
Still stupid, still fucked up, but at least it’s heroin? I don’t know… That shit changed me.
I think sex-work should be decriminalized. But I doubt any cop is taking photos for these sites. Probably just a guy posting stock pics of attractive women and monitoring the emails. But yes, providing social services would be best. However, taking a hateful bigot down from a position of power is also a service to humanity. That’s not what they set out to do, but it happened and we can all be grateful that he lost his congregation.
It’s legal in my country and there’s far less trouble than if it would be illegal. The ones that work under an employer get the same worker protections as other industries. Public prostitution is kept in a few areas that got permits and escort services can be found online without any shady business. Doctors can continuously test them for STDs without having to report them, keeping them and their customers safe. And this whole ordeal isn’t even something “the common people” find weird or anything, it’s just something a few people make use of. So I really do not understand why it would ever be illegal.
It seems some people think they have the right choose what another adult can do with their own body.
I’m also pro drugs btw, as long as all other laws and common decency is respected.

Yeah but conservatives are whiney morons and somehow still have a lot of political power.

However, I bet it isn’t.
Is it weird that I’m picturing Officer Wiggum from the Simpsons?
I immediately thought of Sgt Yates from the South Park episode where this exact scenario happened.

Well now I am too.
No, it’s necessary

He’s the sort that demands this be a crime.
Feels like karma in a few ways.

It must be really nice living in a sane country. Maybe one-day…
It’s great the sex workers are looked after, but in a regulated system, shouldn’t the clients have to have STD tests too?
Well over here treating an STD is cheap and having one is not really looked down upon. So we don’t have much people running around with them.
Absolutely. Sex work is work and sex workers should be able to feel safe in their jobs like anyone else.
However watching hypocritical “Christians” fall from grace after disgusting sermons is a good consolation prize until society wakes up about sex work.
