    Waste of time trying stop world's oldest profession. This is a natural phenomenon and not such a curse on society. Better for police to concentrate on drugs and other crimes which unnatural in the world.

    When there is demand, there will be supply. Simple economics. We cannot reduce demand in this age of mass consumption. Ha, Ha, Ha

    How about these useless cops providing the service themselves ? They could earn some extra money, without having to hide behind trees to catch errant drivers.
