Under the city's self-rule code, there are no rules that stipulate the mayor has to resign if he or she does not accept the council's decision. Consequently, although the Taipei City Council extended the time period for the prostitute trade by two years, the TCG has begun arresting prostitutes for soliciting.
「直轄市自治法」沒有規定首長不接受議會覆議必須請辭，因此雖然市議會將台北市公娼執業的時間延展兩年，但執業者仍會被市府當成私娼抓起來。
