Dave Van Allen, head of the vice squad at Ontario's Peel Regional Police, said he has watched explicit ads for local prostitutes, bawdy houses and massage parlours proliferate on the site.

"It's getting worse," Det. Allen said.

These days, his five vice squad officers spend much of their time trolling through Craigslist's "erotic services" section, where pimps post graphic photos and rates for prostitutes, as well as their business hours.

"The photos posted are suggestive, the offerings are suggestive, even the play on words is suggestive in the narrative," Det. Allen says

Man, I wouldn't mind a job where I sit on my ass looking at ads from SPs, while taxpayers pay my salary. Time for a career change to LE. Looks like this was money well spent

The link doesn't have the article anymore. I was just wondering from anyone who read it if they are going after just scams like what rubmeister posted (that's basically what i got from the title of this thread), or are they also concerned with all the legitimate hos just trying to make an honest living?

Does that mean they don't have as much time for TERB?
