I must be naive or something. This is the second time one has been cracked down on in an area I pass every day and I never knew it existed.

(Glad he's not my husband! I sure wouldn't want to lose my job being married to someone like that!)
But then, if men suffer worse financial casulaties with the economic downturn, from whence are they getting the funds to pay these women, who allegedly are not as badly affected?

Unless, perhaps, there is a happy hour in this business also.

Sure. You're not looking for the services being offered, so it never appears on your radar.

The same, for me, with drugs. I'm not buying, so I could care less.

The polices' time would be better spent on tracking down violent criminals and drunk drivers.

What happens to the guys that get caught with the ladies? You never hear about them in the news.

Does make you wonder if the following conversation goes on at the precinct.

Sarge: Did you arrest them yet?
Cop: Well Sarge, we need more evidence so we'll have to go back there a few more times and make sure that they're giving out more than just a massage.
Sarge: Look, you've been on the force for 20 years now. How is that you can spot a drug dealer without even being 200 feet near him yet you can't figure out that a massage place is giving out more than just massages after 50 visits.
Cop: I just want to make sure I'm not arresting innocent people.
Sarge: Fine, but only one more time and then make your decision.

Just like Nassau County PD runs "prostitution stings" targetting hookers who advertise on craigslist, they never seek to arrest the johns.
