First, let me say this... I in no way condone prostitution, ever, at any time.
Arlington has said that they want to establish a "no prostitute zone" around the new Jerry World Cowboys stadium, the Ballpark and Six Flags area, specifically to keep the prostitutes away from these high profile tourist attractions.
Is it just me... or isn't prostitution supposed to be illegal in virtually all areas of all cities in Texas?
The police say they want a new law saying they can arrest pro's and their john's anywhere around this area. Is it just me... but can't they do that anyway, if they have reason to believe they are engaging in illegal activities.
On closer examination, it seems they want a law that says they can arrest any prostitue found in this area, even if they are not soliciting or humping someone in the parking lot. I assume the cops are saying they want to be able pick up known pro's that they see in these areas without any evidence of an ongoing crime. Is it just me... or does this sound a little hinky, arresting someone just 'cause they are in your neighborhood and you don't like who they are or what they do?
And there is also the question of are they going to limit this to real, known pro's or just anyone the cops take a dislike to. Looks like one more too for the cops to throw people in jail and/or bust heads without any real reasonable cause.
But, maybe it's just me...
