That's silly. If I were in law enforcement I would _use_ erotic services ads as a way to prosecute those involved. Something like Craigslist would be an asset for me.

I think there is some tricky business regarding entrapment and that sting operations have only met limited success. If I were in law enforcement, I'd feel stupid wasting my time investigating violations of a law as ill-conceived as anti-prostitution legislation. How many unsolved rapes, murders and robberies are there out there? There shouldn't be a penny wasted on something this trivial until those are taken care of - and girls forced into prostitution is a totally different issue which would be largely addressed with legalization.
This isn't being driven by law enforcement. It's being driven by elected Attorneys General.
The idea is not to stop crime, it's to look like you're stopping crime.
