The Naperville PD goes after some crimes more than other PDs. For example, NPD does a great job of tracking down pedophiles and drunk drivers. One may get the wrong impression that the city is tainted, but the fact is that some cities are not as effective in terms of going after people who commit those types of crimes.

The above picture is deceiving! It's not like the pigs are standing on Naperville street corners being sluty!

And from the shape and size of the license plate, the photo was probably not taken in the USA but in Europe.

Prostitution should be legal. If both parties are adults and agree on the terms.

If there were no people willing to buy sex in Naperville, there would be no prostitution. The most effective use of law enforcement resources is to target johns (men who buy sex). Johns themselves say that if they faced consequences (it's a felony to buy sex in Illinois) they would stop buying sex. Learn more at http://www.enddemandillinois.org/

I'm making a big assumption here. This an opinion, you don't hve to hang me. If were a married guy seeking out sex, which I assume this is female prosititution, there are problems in the marriage. Both sides have legit Whether it is a person married with one with a low drive. BTW, I hear this from both sexes. There could be big money issues, again a two issue problem, and many more. Prositution should be legal. Perhaps the mob and pimps might be elimiated. The major problem here is they might become unionized. Yes, I'm in the boat of money problems and a person who only has sex for procreation purposes. An older car well kept should be no problem but I don't have money and it is not free. Until you split, a significant other is not in the picture.

I find it ironic that women fought so hard for equal rights and this is what some do with it. We should just go back to the way we were. This it's not empowerment. Have you seen what STDs can do? I think that men or women have been sucked into the idea that sex is just a hand shake. Look at our music, television, radio and internet to name a few. Girls look like tramps with balloons for breasts and must of their butt hanging out. woohoo! That's what i see in empowered women. I'm so sick of seeing people degrading themselves. It's so awesome that my daughters see all of these women for what to wear. I'm blessed that my girls have chosen to follow the greats in history.i taught them to think for themselves, it hasn't
always been easy hearing them talking about what their views are but it's what they think. I love empowering my children to question what they see and hear. It's women that raise children (and men). Let's see how they are doing. Hmmmm. Oh, that's right, we are talking about prostitution. We are doing really great! I'm so proud of us.

Down goes our rating of 56th best place to live for raising a wholesome family. We are raising prostitutes instead...right here in good old Naperville.

We were once the #1 place in America to raise children. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the Naperville Police Department.
