Internet Hookers

Illegal use of ... hands

Illegal use of the hands, at least in the NFL, will get you 10 yards from the spot of the infraction.
On the streets of New Orleans however, a similar violation will garner the offender a summons to appear in court, or, in some cases, not even a warning.
In 'Hookers follow workers dollars' The Times-Picayune details the increasing New Orleans sex trade serving contractors and laborers in town for the rebuilding effort.
''Though police are making more arrests for prostitution than before Hurricane Katrina, Scott said quantifying such results is difficult because undercover officers often can't develop conclusive evidence to make a clear-cut prostitution case. It often takes a transfer of cash, "getting naked with them" and clear evidence that the prostitute wants to trade a sexual favor for cash and not just because "she thinks you're hot," Deputy Chief James Scott, commander of the Police Department's Intelligence Division said.''
Many arrested on solicitation-related charges receive summonses instead of jail time. And even when a suspected lady or gentleman of the evening is collared, they're often let loose just minutes later due to the strain on the storm-battered justice system. The 'Big Easy' is really just that, it appears
And, in this modern age, where cell phones, computers and email are the norm, many prostitutes are scheduling their assignations online.
''Prostitutes in this Wild West-like new New Orleans have stepped up their game, Scott said, moving away from street solicitation and onto a more advanced means of selling their wares: the Internet. Prostitutes hand prospective clients a card with an e-mail or Web-site address where they can make 'dates.' ''
