The charge is the same for the prostitute and the john — soliciting prostitution. Maybe they contest it, maybe they don’t. Probably they’re fined. And then, said Harpham, the prostitutes go back to work.

“They’ve got to make their fine money,” he said. “That’s the way the whole system is. You rob a bank and you get out and you rob a bank again.”

And thus it has always been, and shall be, apparently, on Third Street.

Basically, if there is a hot looking hooker down there, she is definitely a cop. The real hookers haven’t got a set of teeth between them.

Sweet, someone else’s morality imposed on me cause “cops are training”. Could they maybe “train” some meth stings. Or is that too dangerous since it involves real criminals instead of just horny guys?

Figure out your priorities next time your bored… and just maybe more people will begin to respect the police.
