Mongers like us see this from what I'll call the good side of the tracks which are amps and inde girls who are cool with selling themselves. But we turn a blind eye to the bad side which are girls beaten and forced to sell themselves.
These laws are meant to protect them and if some disruption of our world is the collateral damage so be it .
Yes I suspect that as you say there is "the bad side which are girls beaten and forced to sell themselves." I suspect that it is more on the very low end of sex work perhaps involving pimps.
Whoever, consider the cases where the certain DA's with an agenda are exploiting the law to go after the voluntary exchange of sex for money. They go after the low hanging fruit and not the pimps and traffickers, IMHO.
For example the
Flush the Johns busts which were made at hotels and over 100 guys had their photos published in the press. The justification for this was to quote DA K. Rice, "Anyone who thinks this is a victimless crime has not met a sex worker. There are victims, and the johns are the ones who are exploiting them,"
This is NOT an example of "if some disruption of our world is the collateral damage"
