As Prostitues Turn to Craigslist, Law Enforcement Takes Notice

Date: 09/06/07

People just don't get it do they? Ever since technology got better, the internet came in, people don't see how easy it is to get caught. Nassau police department just caught eight women in a prostitution sting. I feel people have the desire to engage in sexual activities that they don't fear the law. They are so trustworthy of those on the opposite screen. Craigslist is known for ads and job listings. But now it's being taking advantage by escort services which always means so much more.

They have made multiple arrests. For over a year now, they have been closely focusing on ads posted on Craigslist. They even post false ads trying to catch those involve. It has been tracked down in Seattle, Florida & California.

As big as Craigslist is, law enforcements are accusing the website of holding a prostitution ring. President, Jim Buckmaster saying he shouldn't be held responsible because he cannot monitor the site 24/7. Although he has 24 members on staff, they cannot focus on every listing. I agree & disagree at the same time because listings go up and out every hour. At the same time maybe someone should just focus on that particular category.

These ads are making prostitutions easier. They can set up hotels and those who agree to this are in it just for the money. Especially those coming to Long Island knowing there is money there. Law enforcements are trying to put a stop to this illegal operations. Not so long ago, Senator of Idaho, Larry Craig pleaded guilty to attempt to have sexual activity in a restroom at an airport. As many complaints have been said, they began to investigate. There was a specific signal you give in the stall and he happened to signal a undercover cop. As much as he denied the charges, engaging in any sexual conduct in public is illegal. He decided to resigned as senator.

Prostitution is quick and easy money. Those who sell themselves are putting their lives in great danger. Even though enforcements have tighten on prostitution, how many men or women can they put away? There will never be an end to this.
