Interesting hooker scene

I'm from out of town and I must say Dallas has a rather unique vibe concerning working girls. I seen a few standing on the sidewalk near Baby Dolls and by the Walnut Inn, but the most interesting scene was at the Paris Bookstore on Harry Hines. I pulled into the parking lot and saw three ladies laughing right by the door, and then I drive towards the middle of the lot and see about 7 or 8 girls in various stripper outfits trying to flag me down while a black female cop was standing about 40 feet away and staring at me with her pistola on the hip LOL. I didn't want to risk anything so I didn't stop to talk to the girls. At the end of the lot, I see a small group of people in normal dress sitting on a truck tailgate while a working girl in black thong and bikini top was talking to them, as if it were a normal hangout kind of thing. I drove away just kinda chuckling at what I just saw. Is all of Dallas like this or just this certain redlight district part of town? I've been to many other cities in the eastern U.S. but never seen a hooker scene like this. Closest thing I can think of is some hookers walking on Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando but even that has dried up for the most part. Overall, I think it's kinda cool that Dallas has a progressive mindset about sex work, which I think should be legalized nationwide as long as proper licensing and disease-screening is part of it.

Dude - progressive? Johns getting arrested is a felony AND the cops focus on the Johns instead of the girl’s because of this.

No way it's a felony

As of 2021 - Solicitation of prostitution is a felony

It happens in every major city across the US. It’s more prominent in Dallas because the city only allows strip clubs to operate in that specific area. It’s usually more spread out. In Austin you have 12th street, Houston you have old Spanish trail ect. Undercover police are all over Harry Hines btw. You can get an arrested for loitering in a high prostitute area if police think you’re a John Doe. Be careful
