I don't have an issue with legal age sex workers that want to do that as a job. I don't have an issue with "pimps" that act as managers. I do have an issue with human trafficking. I do take issue with minors being forced into sex work. And I take issue with any sort of abuse, physical or mental. Bills need to get paid. And if it is a 90 year old, smelly ass dude, that sucks. But if the money still pays those bills, the sex worker should be able to decide whether or not it's worth it. The police can and should investigate any human trafficking. The new law was designed to let the police and prosecutors focus on the issues that really matter, exactly like human trafficking, and stop arresting or harassing the sex workers themselves. If they wanted to cooperate, they would. But if a ho gets beat up, that ho might end up dead if she talks to the police. The cops can figure it out, put it all together without the sex workers, and arrest those forcing them into it. Police should talk to prosecutors, so they're all in the same page, and make the right busts, to make them safer too. Put the pimps away, if that's what it takes. Make the right arrests, file the right charges, get the right people. Then, and only then, can anything change. Arresting or harassing the victims is kinda an asshole move. There's a place everywhere you avoid if possible, especially at night, unless you're looking for sex and have some money. It's the same everywhere. As long as a market exists for a product, someone will supply it. Legal or not. It seems both parties see the same problems, want to make a real change, but they have different methods. When any law takes effect, there will be an adjustment period. Once the dust settles, and everybody knows wtf is going on, then everyone will adjust and figure out how to do things in this new normal.
