Sex Tax Meters

It would look absurd on first place while hearing about sex tax meters. Yes, you are right. Germany has introduced 'sex tax meters'. The German city of Bonn has implemented "sex tax" meters for street prostitutes in an attempt to tax the oldest profession of the world.

In Bonn, prostitution is legal between 8.15pm to 6am, Monday to Sunday. Prostitutes who are working on the streets of West German capital will now have to buy a ticket from converted roadside vending machines before starting their working day.

A night's ticket will set a sex worker back £5.30, irrespective of the number of clients they have. If a police officer catches a sex worker violating this law; they will be fined or banned from working.

German government has taken a wise step towards strengthening economy. Don't you think so? What about India???
