Prostitution the sale of sexual activity for money or goods of value (i. e. drugs) Many strip club employees limit their activity to dancing and taking off their clothes. Prostitution itself is legal, but all activities involved with it are illegal. Transporting or directing another person to a place within which acts of sex for payment occur. Keeping, living in, being found in or allowing a place to be used for this purpose: procuring and living off the avails of prostitution. In other words, it is illegal to engage in activities that facilitate prostitution or to be in a house of prostitution. Police in canada go undercover to catch prostitutes. In 2007, a small group of lawyers and sex workers challenged prostitutions laws, they argued that the laws contribute to violence against prostitutes and thus the harm caused by the laws outweigh the benefits to society. The law against communication precents sex workers from screening potentially violent clients.
