“Land of the Free?

How about being arrested for imagining waving your arms??”

Not any worse than every cop in California now peering into any car with a smoker trying to see if any passengers are minors.

The politicians need to realize that not every problem is solved by passing a law, and that privacy and self expression are important.

An arrest can also be made if a suspect asks if a potential prostitute or patron is a police officer.

Will last until the very first court challenge.

"The offense must occur in a public place known to police as a high-crime area, and must be committed by someone who has been convicted of a prostitution offense within the past two years."

Unless you have a conviction of a prostitution offense within the last two years, you can go there and wave your arms.

attempting to stop traffic by waving their arms,

Illegals can just say they were trying to get a job picking apples and oranges.

What happens if you are tapping your feet at the same time?

I figure the way to safely solicit a "pro" is to ask her to do your laundry for $x/hour. After all, if she's willing to do what pro's do for the same amount, then she should be delirious to do a load of laundry. (Why do I think this is not the case, and what would that mean?)

"Under the new law, suspects can be arrested for circling an area in a vehicle"

That always gets my attention.

With that said, it seems the communist are in control here when they start limiting free travel.

The government is scary.

Somehow, I don't see this passing the courtroom since it is a violation of free speech... It isn't like you were yelling "fire" in a crowded theater...

Can you ask a police officer if he's a prostitute?

My favorite “An arrest can also be made if a suspect asks if a potential prostitute or patron is a police officer.”

What if the person needed a police officer?
