Pimps control San Diego neighborhoods as residents fear speaking out amid brazen prostitution: business owner

The business owner said the threat of pimps carrying out physical attacks, destroying property or stealing keeps locals quiet from going to the police. Residents and businesses also don’t flag police when tensions flare due to a law that took effect at the start of 2023, which the business owner - and others across the state - says has tied the hands of police from making arrests.

"They are controlling the neighborhood," he said of the pimps.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 357, called the Safer Streets for All Act, in July 2022, which repealed a previous law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. The bill was championed as one that would help protect transgender women from reportedly being targeted by police. The law took effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

"The author brought forth this legislation because the crime of loitering has disproportionately impacted Black and brown women and members of the LGBTQ community," the governor said when signing the bill into law.

Pity that nobody in San Diego is armed. The pimp population could be drastically reduced in short order.

“the Safer Streets for All Act”

Always with the orwellian titles for their legislation that winds up delivering the exact opposite
