[@David-zj3bp]

@dingytv538 Right? I did a little research and S12 EP3 came out in September 1999. Today we have more snatch & grabs and the other crimes you mentioned. The younger generation is taking over. A lot of them don't want to work, they don't have good work ethic (work to get paid, put in the hours). I say some because there are young people who go to school, study, and work. However there are some young adults and grown ups who for some reason believe they can get away with certain things. And that they're "owed" certain things in life. I was always taught if I want something, go to work, save up and if you still wanna buy it, buy it. Don't catch a record & get in a trouble with law enforcement or with stealing other people's property. As far as prostitution, they have a vice squad and that's all they do. Set up decoys to catch the Johns. If someone really wants a pro they should save up, take a vacation, and travel to a country where it's legal or where they look the other way.

[@nategreatgames78]

Consenting and desperate aren’t the same thing. Those girls don’t want to be out there doing that, they think they got no choice and are influenced by threats, going hungry or feeding their habit

[@scottkahn7670]

Creating a crime scene/entrapment should be against federal laws. The law only has the right to maintain laws, not create them if "business is slow." Secondly, the intent to break the law for drugs or prostitution should never be a crime unless the money has been delivered and the job description has been explained. The cop said its guys like the motor biker who are to blame and not the prostitutes even though you see them in loads off the street but then cops never arrest them because they use them for different purposes sadly
