Why is prostitution illegal? --Frank Carroll, Arlington, Virginia



Because hookers are a nuisance, that's why. Always around when you don't want them, and never there when you do.

Prostitution isn't a felony. In most U.S. jurisdictions it's a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and a short stretch in jail. In parts of Nevada, it isn't even that--prostitution is legal, though regulated.

Fine, you say. But why should prostitution be considered any kind of crime? The victims aren't complaining. Why should the rest of us care?
The usual explanation is that criminalization of prostitution is a product of the moralizing impulse in American politics. As with other victimless crimes such as gambling and drug use, our antiprostitution laws largely date from the Progressive era around the turn of the 20th century. This period also produced reforms such as the pure food and drugs laws and antitrust regulation.

Many Progressive leaders were educated, articulate members of the middle class that had emerged during the economic expansion following the Civil War. No longer was it necessary to accept social ills as inevitable, they felt. If we apply scientific methods and can-do attitude to our problems, we can eradicate them altogether.

In many respects the Progressive project was a great success. Today everybody is grateful that we have pure food laws and antitrust regulation. (Well, maybe Bill Gates isn't.) The legacy of the antiprostitution campaign is perhaps a little less positive.

In the 19th century prostitution, while not always legal, was tolerated in most of the world as a necessary evil. Enlightened opinion--enlightened male opinion, anyway--held that hey, boys will be boys, and men will be animals. The best we can do is regulate prostitution, including health inspections, licensing of brothels, etc.

But in English-speaking countries the regulatory impulse was countered by growing sentiment that prostitution was evil, period, and ought to be suppressed. Middle-class women played a leading role in the antiprostitution movement, arguing that prostitution threatened family life. Sympathetic journalists suggested that prostitutes were the principal carriers of venereal disease, then thought to be rampant. (Prior to the advent of effective treatment in the early 20th century, VD was certainly no trivial matter.)
The abolitionists ultimately carried the day. Before 1900 most legislation dealing with prostitution sought merely to control it. After World War I, usually considered the end of the Progressive era, the goal was to stamp it out.

Officially, that's been the aim ever since. But let's face it. Nobody really expects prostitution to go away, and it's hard to believe anyone ever did. They just don't want it in their back yards.

Laws are rarely repealed, they are fixed by adding....you guessed it, more laws.

It will be tough to ever get things like porn, prostitution or even marijuana ever made totally legal at the federal level. Few if any politicians will take the heat of endorsing either action.

All are victimless crimes, all have been around forever and will exist whether legal or not. But logic does not apply.

That's because many of those politicians are too busy breaking those laws they endorse or wrote to get votes!

Ok dragging this back on topic...

It isnt the camera that makes it "legal" its the model release. Technically I do not pay the girls to have sex, I pay them to sign their copyright of that performance over to me. Its a fine legal line and outside of Cali its a very gray area of the law, but thats how it was explained to me and thats how I explain it to whomever I am shooting.

And in reality its true, without that signed model release transferring that copyright to me, they don't get paid. If you dont understand how a performer owns a copyright of the performance as well as the photographer /videographer sharing that copyright then you need to brush up on that part of the law. Essentially without one signing their copyright over to the other, either via a model release or a photographers release neither one can use the content without the consent of the other.

For this reason I dont pay the performers and they dont sign the release until after the scene is shot.
