104 men pictured in 'wall of shame' after they were arrested for soliciting prostitutes

10. Yeah, but that wouldn't get as much publicity as ridiculous stunts like this.

In my home county, our local sheriff's department actually lured a couple of prostitutes from out of state to a truck stop and then arrested them a few years ago. I don't know how it turned out, but I don't see how that could be anything but entrapment. The sheriff was roundly ridiculed because he seemed more concerned about luring in prostitutes that fighting actual crimes. He didn't run for re-election last year because the general consensus was that he was a jackass and didn't have a chance of winning.

My other problem with this "wall of shame" is that, judging by the disclaimer, most of these men haven't been convicted of anything yet. Aren't we supposed to wait until after the trial (or guilty plea or whatever) before we start publicly shaming people for the deadly serious crime of visiting prostitutes?

Back to your other point, though, yeah I agree. Legalize it, regulate it, tax it. Pretty much the same way I feel about drugs.

Now I prepare myself for the usual evisceration that comes with the suggestion that patronizing a prostitute should be anything less than a capital offense.
