" Prince Georges county police continues with winter break crackdown so far 18 prostitutes have been busted in January 2015.
31. Baltimore county police busted 3 johns in Towson area on 1/15/2015
32. 15 johns busted at Double Tree 1515 Rhode Island Avenue NW hotel in internet backpage sting by Washington, DC police on 1/16/2015."

Our hypocritical puritanical culture. If they want to imprison people, start with W, who collapsed the Mideast and thereby ignited a terrorist caliphate insurgency throughout the world.

pure nonsense - the animals have been attacking us since Jeffersons days ( ". . . shores of Tripoli" reference i Marine Corps hymm).  Blame W while O (POTUS - Pussy of the US) hides behind his desk.  Weakness invites aggression and O reeks of it.

regardless of our geopolitical views. Let's agree on that.

low class providers and their pimps, that use underage girls and police are reacting to complaints because they have no discretion.

yup, we probably agree on other stuff too!  

no apologies needed, the GOP have sold out to these religious nuts to win elections. Greg Anthony was a Republican and many hobbyist are but still vote for "family value"  candidates who keep pressuring local police to do these types of stings in the name of ending human trafficking. Hell David Vitter, Senator from Louisiana was a hobbyist, he should introduce a bill legalizing the hobby

as women being forced against their will to work in the business.  

getting busted. i know it happens but LE correctly concentrates resources mostly on younger ladies with pimps,drugs.

board is more appropriate. Anyway I guess we are all speculating until there are definitive reports as to whether this arrest related to an ad or a streetwalker, and there certainly is room for argument that streetwalking in some neighborhoods is unacceptable.

no apologies were offered.  

And the provider was purportedly from an "elite" agency. Granted, he was an inviting target due to his status.

if we have not learned from the DC Madam that agencies are almost as dangerous as BP, that is what exposed Vitter and Spitzor

all men hound for pussy that is what wealth and power gives you but I don't sell out to the Jesus freaks but i hold my fire for another board

Remember that prostitution laws are done for political reasons. It is done to give  the impression that the police are doing something about crime. It is also done to go after political opponents. I saw a youtube video that this guy was bashing Obama during the 2008 election. I would not be surprised if they were watching him and set up a sting when they knew he would be in town. A lot of stuff does not get reported until someone famous gets busted (Government official, clergy, Celebrities).

someone wanted revenge.

I know this doesn't account for the busts in DC and Maryland, but Virginia is entering another election year. Most counties will elect boards of supervisors, school boards, commonwealth's attorneys and sheriffs in 2015. Primaries are in June; the general election is in November. Both houses of the General Assembly are also up for election in 2015.

He was a PG county insider. The interesting thing here is these agencies are not located in one central area. Obviously DC and PG co. are adjacent to one another, although DC is separate from MD. I recall reading in the MD budget a few years ago of federal monies being allocated for this exact purpose. Use it or lose, they are using it.

but they could be anywhere.

I know high-class providers with pimps. You would be surprised.

I've never thought that LE or policy thought that people were too stupid to what is best for them. I've been of the position that policy did not care what is best for you. The rules are the rules, perhaps you are too stupid to what is best for you, and refuse to accept responsibility for your own actions?

Which begs for the regulation, taxation, and mandatory work load for the ladies.

I'd say decriminalize SW in commercial neighborhoods only, however the modern obsession with mixed use properties kills the idea before it can be mentioned.

Taxing the hobby??? Hell no!

There are Madames in the business, the court system can not legally discriminate between male and female perpetrators.

It was an online ad. Couple things a cop told me about stings.  

The law is a reflection of the collective value of our community

When it occurs to politicians how much cash they can make from behaviors that they are now on the stump calling "reprehensible," they have their spin doctors massage it from "reprehensible" to "choice" or "lifestyle," and a hefty tax and business incentives for their friends follow.

Perhaps but I think more often than not that view of politics and statutory law is a naive one.

Corrupt, hypocritical politicians, arrogant LE and judges (Are there any other kind?) want to deprive us of hobbying enjoyment. Spitzer cracked down hard on prostitution because he didn't want New Yorkers to have fun and enjoy some of the pleasures of life. When he was caught red handed with a provider, it became obvious that from his perspective, hobbying is only for the elite such as him.

You assume that you might even be a thought in ES/selfish corrupt hypocritical politician's/arrogant LE and judge's head. More than likely you or anyone else is not.
