When the temperature drops so does business.  It is just too damn cold for the hookers to be strutting their stuff and showing skin on Cleveland Avenue in Ft. Myers.  As a practical matter, most prostitution now is strictly an Internet sex crime affair.  Although Craig's list has made an effort to clean up solicitation, the oldest profession still is alive and well, although probably infected.

It is not too cold for the police to be running their sex stings from a warm office sitting behind a computer.  After all, that is easier than chasing some dangerous armed criminal.  Let's see, chat with a hooker or chase a robber?  That's a no brainer for the vice squad.  As an experienced and seasoned criminal defense lawyer, I have seen it all.  Sex for money should not be a crime.  It is the oldest profession for a reason.  In some of the more civilized countries prostitution is legal as it well should be here.  The fact is, most prostitutes are addicts supporting their drug habit.  Many are HIV positive and having sex with them could be a life altering event.  Think twice before pulling over and picking up one of these girls (if they really are a girl). Life is short, don't make it shorter.
