Prostitution Incompatible With Policework
From NZ Herald:
A policewoman who worked as a prostitute to ease financial difficulties has been censured, Deputy Commissioner Lyn Provost said today.
Apparently, prostitution is incompatible with policework, despite it now being legal in New Zealand. The argument the police are giving is that underground crime syndicates own a lot of the brothels and whatnot, and if a policewoman working as a prostitute was found out by this lot, they could possibly blackmail her into igoring certain criminal activites, etc.
Personally, I know what it’s like to live in Auckland and how expensive it can be – if you have the time and the energy to get a second job to help cover that, then by all means. I’m not sure there’s any legal reasoning why you should have to declare to your first job that you’re getting a second job (correct me if I’m wrong though). And if someone wants to take up prostitution as their secondary job, so be it – it shouldn’t be anybody’s business but their own.
Brings a whole new meaning to “Fuck the Police” though.

Better than ‘fucking with them’ I think. The story has had a reaction in the tiny northern town of Moenui
I love that last line about “fucking the police”!!
I am quite shocked though. I was not aware that NZ had made it legal and am amazed you guys have actually become the amsterdam of the southern hemisphere.
Bring on the sleeze!
Wow…I won’t be surprised if other nations also follow suit in time to come
