Yes. You have raised a very important question. Criminalization of sex work also provides strong powers for law enforcement to conduct racial profiling. We have so many Asian sex workers who are being arrested. The police say that when they go on the Internet, they search for the Asian section, so they are being targeted because they are Asian. There is the assumption that they are victims, which leads to their arrest.
Also, because of the conflation of sex work and trafficking, any sex worker working for or helping other sex workers will be arrested. It is criminalized. It's very clear that this law gives lots of power to law enforcement to target the sex worker. Police cannot be trained, because this law is designed to target sex workers. Thank you.
