My guess is that from this point forward, you'll get your wish. Instead of paying a fine the person will now be charged with soliciting prostitution, will be arrested, thrown in jail, and they'll have to make bail. Then they'll have to go to court, etc.
Yeah, I guess charging them is better.
Well it is if you are inncocent. What if someone was really just asking for dirctions and had no idea the lady was a prostitute? Police have probably cause and you have a $1,000 fine under those circumstances.
The husband was arrested for soliciting prostitution.
The wife was not arrested, was not present at the time of the arrest, and did not know that her husband was soliciting prostitutes.
The wife had to pay $1000 plus towing fees plus storage fees to retrieve her car, since she was the car owner.
In the first case filed by appellees, law enforcement impounded Danielle Wellman’s vehicle pursuant to the City’s ordinances after they arrested her husband, Sidney Wellman, for having operated the vehicle to solicit prostitution. The Wellmans then brought a class action suit against the City for a declaratory judgment to find that the ordinances were invalid, for injunctive relief, and for unjust enrichment.
