Prostitution in Ocean City??
Isn't that a little like selling sand on the beach?
One or two cocktails and a conversation at any bar in OC will assure you'll be doing the horizontal tango right after last call.

DHS? Thats a joke should nt they be protecting our borders? I depise this new progressive term for HOOKERS. Human trafficing really. Are they americans (hookers) or illegals(human trafficers) ? there lies the rub and maybe why DHS is involved?

Settle down, idiots. This heroin epidemic needs to be stopped in any way possible. Didn't anyone read, "intent to distribute" in the report? So what if the trigger was for hooking, heroin got stopped.

Actually yes these 10$ heroin hoes do wreak havoc wherever they go. First off there is always a dealer nearby so as soon as they earn enough $'s they can buy their drug of choice quickly. Secondly they do steal because business isn't always good. Thirdly they take pees and craps in people's yards and use hoses on private property to wash themselves off after servicing 'clients.' So to anyone who thinks they aren't hurting a thing and are harmless be sure to invite them to your neighborhood to conduct their business before ever offering up your uninformed opinion again.
