Should prostitution be legal?

Yeah, this is the thing. In some European countries, it's supposed to be illegal, but the police themselves actually turn a blind eye.

On a stag do in Czech, we jokingly asked some police officers where the nearest brothel was. They gave us detailed instructions how to get there and even the name of a taxi driver who would take us there. And it's supposed to be illegal?

Seems a massively pointless thing to ban it. It achieves fuck all, and all it does is ignore the problems with prostitution rather than actually facing them and potentially saving peoples lives by making it safer.

Well, besides making it safe, governments should actually focus on ending the huge amount of human trafficking that is involved in the prostitution business.
The greatest part that is "illegal" about the prostitution business is there. Not just that, but forced prostitution and etc. is part of it, although there are many who do it willingly, they still have to cope with low quality living conditions.
