I'll say thanks for the post, but this part in the story cracked me up:
To insure the safety of the decoy undercover officers, about a dozen policemen and women are assigned to the anti-prostitution exercise.
Meanwhile, the top stories below the article were links to stories of murder and hit and run accidents. Glad they can spare the resources to nail "Johns". Not like they'll stop other crimes or crack down on gangs. Much better to nail consenting adults claiming it's a "gateway" offense to robbery and the spreading of disease.
Added to the growing list of reasons I want to one day retire in another country.
