It wouldn't be if it were legal and the women in question had access to legal recourses to protect themselves from exploitation.

The only way that MIGHT be achieved is if the "transactions" are all recorded. I don't think that the typical John would want that.

I don't see how that follows.

Simply making sex workers not criminals means that they can go to the police when someone hits them or steals from them.

Making sex work something that can legally happen in safe locations, decreases the risks that sex workers face.

Without video evidence, it becomes "he said, she said". If I were a sex worker, I'd want the video evidence.
