OKLAHOMA CITY – "Hey! I know. Let’s make Walmart register every tube top and short-shorts it sells because those are the clothes that hookers wear! Yeah, that’ll put a stop to ’em."

That’s just one of the spirited reader comments that appeared online in response to a story in the Tulsa Times about an Oklahoma judge who ordered a truck stop owner to crack down on ‘lot lizards.’

Reader responses, — from truckers, four-wheelers and who knows who – – are as interesting if not moreso than the back story.

Because it really isn’t clear who, if anybody, should be responsible for lot-lizard duty.

Last Thursday, Judge Bryan Dixon said that owners of the Five Star should increase signage, improve the lighting and install more video monitoring.

Judge Dixon was deciding on a lawsuit brought by The City of Oklahoma on behalf of the local cops.

The truck stop is in a residential area and cops have been requesting the owners be more vigilant for five years.

However, the case wrapped up only last week.

Fact is, between the time the lawsuit was launched and now, the truck stop has been purchased by a new owner and he has been doing his utmost.

He has installed lights and video monitoring, and he has hired more security personnel.

But, as owner Maulik Sharma said in an interview and as thousands of years of human civilization have proved, "It’s hard to stop it 100 percent."
