Yeah funny that
if you get caught soliciting, you need a good solicitor to get off, erm, that's right, isn't it?

Re: Yeah funny that
Nope you have to accost a person (since 2003) for the purposes of prostitution. Just driving round Kings cross too afraid to ask is not sufficient which is why a number of our regulars haven't been banned from driving:lol .
Kerb-crawling -- accosting women in the street from a motor vehicle for the purposes of prostitution -- is banned by the Sexual Offences Act of 1985. Under legislation introduced this year, offenders can lose their driving licences for good.

Re: law
> I could not believe people can get done for "kerb crawling", I mean wtf, what kind of offence is that?
The reason kerb crawling is illegal is the amount of nuisance it causes people living in the area who have nothing to do with prostitution.Comment

Re: law
Years ago I was knocking about with a girl who used to work at the local police HQ you get into the most interesting discussions in the rest area over a game of pool.
The kerb crawling is the only time they can prove a crime is being committed , that is when it is agreed the money will change hands. Its not illegal to sell your body or buy another persons body for sex, it is illegal to do so in public.Comment
