I still fail to understand why prostitution is illegal - it is a victimless crime, afterall.

Sure, trading gas for sex sounds pretty low, but I'm sure many of us have paid much much more for sex, just in more conventional was (i.e. dates).

This is exactly how underground economies work in tough times. By the end of the year they could be trading disease free tomatoes for sex here in the U.S.

I don't know what's worse, the actual act of trading gas for sex, or the fact that police resources were used in a "sting". It's good to know that police have time to waste on victimless crimes instead of going after REAL criminals.

I'm on the side of legalizing and regulating prostitution as they do in Nevada. To me, it just sounds like a barter deal.

I don't see why its illegal... and though it can't be taxed now thats because it's illegal... just set up legal brothels and have them taxed there though i shouldn't be posting on this topic

at the very least one of the other gifts should be a free car wash.

Especially if the illegal act was done in the car.

Then again, that might actually call for a carpet shampooing...

So, we all like Sex right????
If you can get a $100 gas card AND have sex you should be punished!
People who have sex for anything other than procreation are abominations.

Why couldn't he just give her $100?

I use cash when I'm at the pump.
