It is illegal, however the CMPD Vice and Narcotics Unit has only 10 detectives for the whole city/county and they have to cover a whole range of crimes from narcotics to gambling to prostitution. Street level prostitution is policed fairly heavily by not only Vice but the Patrol Divisions as well. These call-girl/escort services are not policed regularly. Enforcement is Infrequent at best.

Wow! I am shocked to see these "escorts" put photos and phone numbers online. I thought this was a 'secret' business but I guess not! You would think these lovely men and women would be an easy bust for police. After reading old cop's comment- it is does not give me warm fuzzies knowing we only have 10 narcotics officers in Charlotte. I look at the arrest records everyday and we have a HUGE problem with drugs in Charlotte. I would say 50-60% of the arrests involve one drug charge or another... Thanks for the info stargazer.

I think we would all be okay if Vice worried less about gambling and concentrated on drugs and prostitution. By the way, I am NOT saying Vice focuses solely on gambling. I'm just saying I wouldn't mind if it was pretty low on the priority list and drugs and prostitution were at the top. ;D

Yes Vice is way understaffed.But to be in VICE requires alot.Imagine if your job requried you to hide your face and protect your family.Would you put your own family in harms way.
Alot of crimes they rank.Drug traffic and other major crimes take up alot of time.Its just like Palm reading there is not enough umph in the department to deal with it.

Are you sure this is not the plot to a movie starring, Dolly Parton and Burt Reyolds, in which the town is shocked, YES SHOCKED, that a house of prostitution has been operating for 100 years or so right in the middle of town? The best part is when the politicians sing "Oh, how I love to dance a little side step, now you see me, now you don't, and then I'm gone. Oh how I love to do a little side step and then lead the people on!" And by the way I am available to dance at Bridal Showers for 5$ an hour and 25 cents a mile to and from your location. Tips Optional. You must pay in advance as most girls do not pay me or even let me in the door when I arrive. See my profile on www.oldmarriedguywhothinkshestillhasit.com
