Basically these are nuisance laws so the police can clear an area but for all intents and purposes prostitution is legal. Really if prostitution isn't causing a nuisance then the police turn a blind eye to all the other offences they use to combat the nuisance it can cause, such as kerb crawling and women getting approached for sex.
