Man calls Solihull police to complain about prostitute's looks

A man has been warned after he dialled 999 to complain about a prostitute's looks after meeting her.

West Midlands Police said they were contacted by the caller who said he "wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act".

The force said the call was received at about 19:30 BST on Tuesday complaining that the woman was not as attractive as she had claimed.

Officers have now sent the man a letter warning him about wasting police time.

West Midlands Police said the man had claimed he met the woman in a hotel car park.

"The caller claimed that the woman had made out she was better looking than she actually was and he wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act," a spokesperson for the force said.

You get what you pay for

Sex for money is in itself legal but publicly advertising or soliciting it isn't, and any sort of organisation (pimps, brothels, etc) involved will make it illegal. Apparently giving a prostitute a lift to the place where they're going to go about their work is illegal too for some reason. We have really stupid laws sometimes

Disgusting ;l

The law is really weird on prostitution. Although you're allowed to do it, you can't do it for any financial gain (I know ;l;l ) and you're not allowed to loiter on street corners, nor are you allowed to post little adverts in phone boxes anymore.

You're not allowed to go looking for prostitutes either.

Bloody hell, Government, just BAN IT.

[FlyingJesus]

No other way around it ought to be opened up so that it's safer
