In a 2008 ruling, U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver banned enforcement of the ordinance with an injunction, saying Cave Creek provided "no evidence that traffic safety is endangered by day laborers soliciting employment from vehicle occupants."

So does that mean prostitutes can now solicit "employment" from vehicle occupants? Anything less is discriminatory..after all don't they have a right to free speech and equal protection under law?

I don't see how they're different, they're both illegal but only prostitution laws are enforced? What about prostitutes "rights" to work?

Can't wait to hear the spin on this one.

They are a lot more fun to roust and arrest...so they have a harder time of it...

Exactly! Illegal invaders are allowed to get away with loitering and illegally soliciting work, while prostitutes are arrested for the same act!
