My friend informed me of something... Is it true?!

[byaahmuch]

My friend just said that he was doing a essay in English about legal prositution in the world today. He was shocked to find out that "Canada has legal prositution as long as the prostitute does not advertise on the street" (I guess tell you her price).

He found an example of a prostitute being taken to court by an undercover police officer who had her on tape in public in downtown Toronto. On the tape, he asked "How much for just a lay?" and she replied "Come to my hotel room and we can go over prices there.". Right then, the judge said "Well, it looks like she knows the law officer" and all charges were dropped.

Anyone, maybe in the legal department, know if this is true? It seems so hard to believe right now. lol

According to Wikipedia, you are correct, but with several other restrictions:

Prostitution in Canada

Thats the same in England, you can be a Prostitute, but you can't tell anyone, so they get work through websites hosted outside of the UK.

not legally, that's why you can't tell anyone.

no, its legal, you just can't advatise, so you can use the loophole of advertising overseas, but if you go up to a random woman infront of a policeman offer her money for sex, its perfectly legal, as long as she dosnt offer it.

Ok maybe i was wrong but it is true that anyone who gets out of or is in their car and asks for any sexual services and offer money could be at some risk or have their car seized from them.

The hypocrisy. Glad I live in a country where it's legal, period.

yeah if it were legal you'd see it on billboards like this one....

 

[tommychains]

Has anyone "visited" a Canadian prostitute? The post and the wiki mentioned some restrictions, but I would guess that there would be understood places that you could pick-up a prostitute.
