Cops need to shoo prostitutes away

As the weather is getting hotter, and the days longer, I’ve noticed more prostitutes are out on Evergreen Way in Everett.

They are usually out all year, off and on, but more so in the summer. And it’s quite obvious the way they’re dressed. Short shorts, cleavage and eyeing the cars passing by. I’m tired of it!

Every year the police say they are doing stings, and cracking down on them, etc. But the same girls are always out, and police are always driving on Evergreen passing them. Like it’s no big deal. I thought it was a big deal. Maybe not a top priority, but I doubt police officers are all busy all the time. It only would take a few minutes to pull over and shoo off the prostitutes. Maybe they won’t return if they’ve been warned. Better than nothing. Isn’t the rate of sexually transmitted disease high enough already?
