Title: *German City Unveils "Prostitute Meter - Streetwalkers get a nightly permit* Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on August 31, 2011, 05:17:43 PM http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/weird/German-City-Unveils-Prostitute-Meter-128804868.html
Quote Streetwalkers in the German city of Bonn must pay these meters for a nightly permit. Prostitution is legal in Germany, but collecting taxes from streetwalkers requires some creative efforts. In Bonn, officials have unveiled a meter that prostitutes must pay roughly $8 into each night to get a nightly permit to practice the world's oldest profession. Freelance sex workers get an automated ticket, much like a parking slip, according to Der Spiegel. Officials say taxing prostitutes who work out of fixed locations is simple, but streetwalkers could easily avoid duties. BUFAS, a sex worker advocacy group, called the flat fee unfair.

And how many employees with Germany's version of the IRS line up to do audits of these workers?
