and yeah, I do consider prostitutes to be untrustworthy...especially where money is involved. If they are willing to let some guy pee on them for a fiver, I can't imagine lying thru their teeth is gonna really be that much of a leap out of their moral comfort zone...

In the case of prostitution, I'm more inclined to agree. Prostitution is a crime, and I don't believe that politicians should be allowed to get away with any crime.

prostitution is not a crime everywhere. It is legal in some parts of the US as well as some countries in Europe. In Germany they belong to a union and have full union benefits and health care.

Being a prostitute in a country where it is illegal, does not make a prostitute the best sort of witness. Due to the criminal nature of her/his occupation and the fact that they continue in their occupation for whatever reason, clearly flouting the law, it stands to reason that many people would doubt their word out of hand seeing as they have already demonstrated an ethical/moral flexibility, a disdain for what society considers correct behavior and a willingness to put their bodies and health at risk for low monetary gain. Why would slandering someone for money be a problem for such a person, one might imagine.
Now, prostitutes can be witnesses. No one doubts that they can tell the truth and truly report what they saw, just like any other person. It's just that they don't come across as credible in a court of law for all the above reasons, especially if they're also known drug/alcohol abusers.
