New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is demonstrating one of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives, on the one hand, and libertarians on the other.
Kraft was recently caught in a sting operation allegedly involving the payment of money to people in a Florida massage parlor in exchange for a sex act. Florida officials say that they have videotape evidence of the crime. They have charged Kraft with the criminal offense of “soliciting a prostitute.”
Although Kraft initially pled not guilty, indications are that he intends to accept a plea bargain entailing a deferred adjudication. The agreement would require him to admit guilt, perform 100 hours of community service, pay court costs, and attend a class on the dangers of prosecution. In return, he would receive a “deferred adjudication,” which means that he’ll never be convicted of the crime so long as he fulfills the terms of the agreement.
Meanwhile, Kraft has issued a public statement expressing deep remorse: “I am truly sorry. I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard.”
Two questions naturally arise: First, why is this a criminal offense? Second, don’t cops have better things to do than setting up sting operations in massage parlors?
Let’s start with the libertarian position. Libertarians hold that a genuinely free society is one in which people are free to do whatever they want, so long as their conduct doesn’t involve the initiation of force or fraud against another person. A short description of the principle states that a person should be free to do whatever is peaceful...........https://www.fff.org/2019/03/26/why-is-prostitution-a-crime/
