So they shame the men seeking sex, but the whores get to go through the turnstile of jail and the pimps get in and out of jail in a flash. Or, more than likely, the whores and pimps don't even get a slap on the hand.
Californication.
Why aren't the pimps, hookers and the no-tell motel owners that aid and abet plastered around as well?
Good point. Perhaps the whores and the pimps would look at getting their picture publicized as a good thing.
Prostitutes are just doing the jobs that some American women just don't want to do. Besides they want to realize their American dream as well. Doesn't anyone care that they have families to feed, they pay their taxes and wire money home to their relatives? (sarcasm)
""We're warning everyone: Next time, the image won't be blurred," City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente said. The billboards will only show images of people convicted of soliciting sex, he said."
Cruel and unusual punishment, anyone?
The Judge sentenced them - but not to this.
Ironically these are the same liberal idiots who pine for the civil rights of terrorists.
Scratch a liberal hard enough, and out pops a puritan. It would be difficult to find a more puritanical place on earth than the former Soviet Union, with the one exception of Islamofascist Saudi Arabia.
Yeah, but gay sex with prostitutes will not be involved in this campaign. The left hates heterosexual sex, whether with prostitutes or not.
Oakland whores. Man, that's the bottom of the barrel.
ROTFLOL. Damn. That's just mean.
because they probably wouldn't feel "shame," about it... they probably don't have friends who don't already know what they all do... and maybe many are transients, and they wouldn't have family around, so why would they care if their pictures are up there?
Because they shouldn't get free advertising, they should buy their own billboard then.
Thats up to each local legislature.
Part of Nevada has already legalized prostitution.
You want to get technical, if say the NYC council wanted to legalize it, its legalized.
Each municipality has laws banning it own their own, either at the local or state level.
If the abortion laws worked the same way, you would have pre-roe vs wade, with most of the states banning abortion.
You can bet that most, if not all, of the Johns pictured will be white, straight men.
You can bet that nearly all, if not all, of the Johns pictured will be straight, white men.
You can bet the politicians that get busted will have their mugs plastered on a billboard.I guess that won't ever happen.There isn't enough billboards in the whole state.
And a few fine upstanding preachers and politicians too! I know a few like that... hypocrite to the core!
