It's obvious none of these police officers served any time in the military.....Once you leave state side, this kind of activity is legal... I mean think about it. Who does it really hurt? Couldn't these police officers be used for more serious crimes? They probably have no crime in Ann Arundel county.

Prostitution should be a legal activity. As to the "street trade", it should be handled the same way we would deal with a fast food cart on the sidewalk without a licence - that and no more. The arguments for legalizing this activity are many, but one of the most compelling is getting rid of the pimps and increased protections of law for the sex workers themselves.
