Prostitute accepts invite to meet inside police station
SALEM, Ore. -- Authorities say a 20-year-old Portland woman drove 50 miles to reach the man she thought was her client after being solicited for prostitution through phone and text messages.
But there was something unusual about the destination: It was the Salem Police Department.
Stranger still, police say the woman walked past several uniformed officers and clearly marked signs reading "Salem Police Department" before arriving at an unmarked door, where they say she attempted to contact the man she thought was her client.
Instead, she was arrested. The phone and text messages were part of a sting operation by Salem police detectives, who first identified the woman through a website.
The Jan. 11 arrest led to charges of prostitution and promoting prostitution for Christal D. Smith of Portland.
An attorney for Smith couldn't be found Thursday afternoon.

Why is it illegal though?

Because for some unknown reason you're supposed to take a woman out and buy her dinner before screwing her, not give her the money to buy her own.

Perhaps AIDS or super gonorrhea ?

Nope, it's been illegal since way before they emerged.
The Aus experience, legal prostitution and brothels, is that it reduces the incidence and spread of such diseases.
I've yet to see an clear arguement for its illegality.

It's illegal because it is to hard to put a tax on their income.
Oddly have you considdered the implercatious of taxing sex? Because it could lead to all acts of sex being taxed as it would be predjudice to only tax sex workers.
The question was asked by Peter Burner (I think)

That's like saying that you would have to pay tax on a meal your husband/wife prepared for you at home, because restaurant meals are taxed.

Look, if memory serves me correctly, (and it almost invariability does) all the serious minded folks on this board (and even the semi serious minded folks) agree that prostitution should be legalized..
We may disagree on how it should be implemented, but we agree on this central point.....
But all of that having been said, does that distract from the funny story of a prostitute who drove
50 miles, and then walked into a police station, with signs out front, saying "Police Station", past uniformed officers to attempt to complete her task....
Come on, that's funny...

Oh I found it hysterical;
"And how did you end up in the Hooker business miss?"
“Well the course for rocket surgeons had met its quota the year I applied."
