Prostitutes Complain About Police Peepers
Prostitutes in a Dutch city say their business is being ruined by policemen turning up to watch them have sex with clients.
Working girls in Groningen have complained to the mayor because they say embarrassed customers are being put off.
Prostitutes foundation De Straatmadelief said up to a dozen police cars have been parking near street sex zones so officers can watch them at work.
"Instead of focused inspections, they are coming and watching like monkeys," the foundation said in a written complaint handed to the mayor.
A spokesman for the group said. "If it is quiet in the city centre, dozens of cars come to the street sex zone to watch. But if the police are really needed when there is trouble, you don't see anyone."
The foundation wants Groningen Mayor Jacques Wallage to get police to cut down on the number of patrols to one per night instead of "up to a dozen an hour".
