correct me if im wrong but isnt running an illegal prostitution ring a CRIME?

>Well, Mr. Yah-Gay-Me, I was just thinking. Wouldn't it be funny if this Kira guy had some sorta notebook he could use to just write down people he wants to die, and he'd never have to lay a finger on them?
>Are you INSANE Columbo? A magical notebook? You must be crazy to think of something like that. I mean, the idea is preposterous, how would someone even get their hands on something like that? A god of death?
>Oh I'm sorry sir, no need to get too worked up. I was just throwing the idea out there as a bit of a joke, you see I got the idea from one of those japanese animes my wife is always telling me about. I'm suuure no such thing exists. Sorry to bother you
