Not sure what you mean by hookers being exploited by cops, unless you mean arresting them for breaking the law.

Shake downs for bribes and "services". I'd expect that any
legalization and regulation would be at the state and local level, not
federal, just as it is now.

Oh, you have personal knowledge of those shakedowns? I've seen such on TV, but
that is make-believe. To think that it is a meaningful thing, you have to think that
most cops are dirty. I'm not there with you.

Sometimes life imitates art and sometimes it's the other way around.
Where ever there is big money being made outside the law with things
like drugs, gambling or prostitution, there is probably some sort of
corruption going on that is allows it to take place.

I'll have to take your word on it. I have no experience, looks like you do? Meanwhile, I'm interested on your comment on this:

"The feds turned over mental health services to the states. How'd that work out?
So the pimp has to get a business license, some kind of "office", keep records and get a bookkeeper, have yearly audits, provide the girls with the required bennies that legitimate businesses do, pay taxes, meet state and fed guidelines, etc."

So it would be another unfunded federal mandate on the states to fund/enforce according to your idea (like the failed mental health thing), unless we're all going to federally fund legal hookers? What keeps the pimps in line? You have to admit the whole idea is a joke. Like Joe/Kammy. A non-funny joke.

I don't have any experience with cops, bribes or illegal activities
but such things make the news fairly frequently so they must be going
on. Nor do I advocate for or against prostitution. No one has ever
been able to stop it however, just like illegal drugs and gambling.
There is already legal prostitution in Nevada and a number of European
countries but I have no idea how they manage or regulate it - doesn't
seem to be a big problem however as long as people are not being
trafficed.

The prostitutes must have a clean bill of health from a doctor. They are checked
by the police. In Holland, they can park their 'campers' in the autobahn
cloverleafs.
