They should prosecute the police officer for being a prostitute.

It is so stupid that prostitution is illegal. What happens between consenting adults is none of the government's business,.

If the prostitutes had to pay taxes you can bet your bottom dollar it would be legalized but how would the IRS know how many customers they really had. And who cares! They earn their money the hard way and I don't begrudge them at all. I think it's legal in Nevada though.

Run for office and get the law changed. Otherwise enforce the law.
