A U.S. district court judge has rejected an Illinois sheriff's bid to shut down Craigslist's erotic services category. You can't spank the website, the judge ruled, for the actions of some naughty, naughty prostitutes.
Law-abiding citizens, tremble in fear: the NYPD is no longer secretly patrolling the hooker ads on Craigslist. Are we safe without undercover cops trying to lure horny men into motel rooms and arrest them?
For vice squads, Craigslist personals, home to many a paid hookup, make prostitution busts as easy as buying a couch. So why is an Illinois lawman suing the website?
