Apparently Port St. Lucie, Florida has eliminated all violent crime. That's why they have all this manpower to waste use on this:
Here's a warning from St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara to prostitutes, pimps and their customers using the popular Craigslist.org Web site to set up illegal "dates" in St. Lucie County: You may wind up going to jail.
...
Port St. Lucie police detectives used agency surveillance equipment to provide technical support to St. Lucie County deputies in the operation. "This is another example of our agencies working together on criminal cases," Mascara said.
Love this quote:
"In the past few years, we have arrested hundreds of sexual predators using Internet chat rooms to try to exploit children sexually," Mascara said. "The recent operation of Internet-based prostitution is another example of the illegal use of the Internet for sexual exploitation. Whether people arrange for prostitution on street corners or over the Internet, it's still prostitution, and it's still illegal."
Yes, because exploiting children sexually and adults mutually consenting to a business relationship that happens to involve sex are exactly the same thing. Except, you know - not.
