→Street walkers
===Street walkers===
Soliciting (i.e talking to and trying to book) prostitutes on the street is illegal. This is generally not tightly enforced in the UK, and in a few places (a zone in Leeds) it is legal.
It used to be that law enforcement needed to prove persistence or nuisance. That is not true today based on laws pased in 2003 and amended in 2009. Soliciting is a 'summary-only offence' which means 'A criminal offence which is normally tried in a magistrates' court and which is generally considered to be less serious than other types of offences.'
