  Chicago

  On behalf of my city, I would like to apologize. We may have great sports teams, restaurants, and night life, but we also are very keen on electing criminals and retards. Again, we're all very, very sorry.

  Whores and Craigslist

  Police use of craigslist as a "easy" tool to fight prostitution would appear to be unsustainable.
  
  If the escort runs an ad in the erotic services section, they are an easy mark for the police.
  
  Even the dumbest escort would eventually realize that there is a high risk that their craigslist john was an undercover officer.
  
  Thus the escorts will realize that they should go back to posting in the "casual encounters" section of the site.
  
  And then from craigslist point of view, you are back to page one.

  Re: Whores and Craigslist

  Francis - Nobody claimed to be using Craiglist as the 'catchall' for all prostitution, nor did they say they were giving up standard or existing methods.
  
  This is simply a tool, which when combined with existing efforts, will help the police catch these people. Very myopic of you.

  Re: Whores and Craigslist

  Francis,
  
  Thats the whole reason why blaming Craigslist is stupid. If the took out the erotic services section (like some politicians think they should), then the prostitutes would move to "casual encounters" or just move to another site thats harder for the police to find.
  CL is not and should not be the only thing police use to crack down on prostitution. It should be one of many tools they use.
