It's the biggest reason for not becoming a cop. You have to enforce laws you do not agree with.
BTW, I believe you should support decriminalization of prostitution over legalization. Legalization implies tax and regulate (not good things). Decriminalization implies sex work as a job like any other job. If legalized I believe most would still operate outside the law. Like now in Nevada.

Hmmm yeah I guess I never really thought about decriminalization vs. legalization...good point!!! But, I don't think I really have a problem with taxes and regulations(reasonable regulations like obtaining and keeping a license). I would happily pay taxes if I were guaranteed some effing respect and protection by the government...one of my many many arguments, girls get hurt and they're either too scared to do anything legal about it or they do go to the authorities and they're dismissed because of what they do. Being a prostitute, sex worker, call girl, escort, hooker whatever anyone wants to call it does not make someone sub human or their life or safety any less valuable. Plus I'm hopeful enough to think that maybe if it were legalized and taxed it may solve some of the country's debt problems...yeah yeah I know I'm a dreamer. So yes in some ways if I were guaranteed protection etc I would happily pay taxes but as it stands, my government doesn't care or do a damn thing to help me in this endeavor so fuck em, I'm not giving them a penny
