Check That Hooker’s License! May 16, 2008
Posted by Michael in News.trackback
Amsterdam hookers have been a major source of traffic at IB (see Top Posts on sidebar, where the Hookers Union post has been a fixture), so I thought we should keep abreast of current news. The Amsterdam crackdown on prostitution continues:
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Clients of prostitutes in the Netherlands may soon need to check for a sex licence. The Dutch cabinet said on Friday it wanted to crack down harder on the country’s sex industry, in particular unlicensed sex operators, as part of efforts to combat human trafficking.
“That is why the cabinet wants to make it an offence to use the services of a sex operator without a licence or a non-registered independent prostitute,” the government said in a statement .
Prostitutes have plied their trade in the narrow alleys of the old centre of Amsterdam for centuries. While they used to attract sailors and merchants in the city’s heyday as the heart of a global trading empire, they are now a huge tourist draw.

Require a license, then dont make any licenses available.
