Police Prostitutes

The latest furore concerning the Police woman turned prostitute reveals the huge double standard that exists now in New Zealand society. Police bosses deemed the woman's secondary employment as "incompatible with policing". Why? If prostitution is now legal, then the right to be employed as a prostitute should be no different than the selling of any personal services. All personal services, from cosmetic surgeon to masseur, shoeshining to podiatry, would seem to be captured by this incompatibility. Surely this is a significant breach of the police woman's rights to be employed in a legally sanctioned place of work?

Or maybe its not just the policewoman who has no clothes...

In no way is prostituion a normal industry. All you have to do is visit a few dark streets in Auckland and watch as the men and women working, of their faces on P, get taken away by men and women in Mecs and BMW's for a good time! Wonder how many politicians own cars like that. Sorry, but this issue really hacks me off!!
