There has not been a much news about human trafficking lately. But I would not be surprised if we see more news within the next few months or the beginning of next year. So just keep your guard up and be aware.

Require them to be licensed so that the State gets its cut, but stop the hypocrisy that every girl out there is a victim of human trafficking.

Its legal in most parts of Europe but I don't think the women are as insecure as the women in the US. Some people see marriage in the US as security and prostitution undermines that fact if sex is readily available because there is competition for men. If women realize that a marriage is a relationship which is based on long term companionship which includes physical closeness not just security or social acceptability, then the US might become more enlightened.
CA US Senator Kamella Harris in favor of legalizing prostitution. !!
This is great. Personally I would like to see the establishment of Eros centers like they have in Germany. The girls are cheap and you don't have to pay the $100 for any type kind of sex. This probably will never happen since the US is way to uptight about sex.

[QUOTE=TheCamel;3856727]As a veteran monger I certainly detest prostitution laws between consenting parties and did long before I had any notion that I might one day engage in P4 P, BUT FOR THE RECORD as they say in open court, I do not agree that there is a RIGHT to jury nullification, but juries certainly have the POWER to in effect nullify a prosecution that is otherwise valid under the law and the facts of the case. RIGHT v. POWER seems like a technicality but they are 2 different things. If jurors had such a right they wouldn't have to keep their mouths shut about what they are doing through the process as Slappy Salami wisely advises they do.
Jurors take an oath, and open nullification is contrary to that oath. Plus if a juror is questioned in jury selection by a prosecutor or judge as to opinions about prosecuting crimes of prostitution and the prospective juror lies that he will uphold the law if the facts of the case make out a crime, the juror could potentially be found in contempt of court or charged with perjury. Obviously if he tells the truth he will be lawfully excused from the jury so he has no RIGHT (though I realize the nullification fanatics will argue that he has the right but it is being stomped on by the Court). So great if you can keep your mouth shut but you may be placed in a position before you sit on a jury where you will be required to truthfully disclose your attitudes. Similar to jurors who oppose the death penalty not being permitted to sit on juries in capital homicide cases.
But as a practical matter, why don't we hear about cases like this applicable to prostitution cases, at least locally in SoCal? Well, its because it is way beyond rare that a prostitution misdemeanor (for the mongers and hookers who don't have a long rap sheet of priors) will ever be tried by a jury. 99.999% of "monger" cases will either be dismissed because the system is too congested to deal with them, or result in plea bargains to a lesser charge. And there aren't many lesser criminal offenses than a simple charge tossed at a monger for solicitation unless the hooker turns out to be underage. No defense lawyer worth a damn will advise a knowingly guilty monger client to place his fate in the hands of a jury based on having confidence that one of the jurors will hang the jury when his client can walk away with a small fine for a lesser offense and even expunge the misdemeanor from his record at a later date.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your reply. Strange as it seems, there actually are quite a number of misdemeanor (and felony) trials for parlour cases and even independent body rub girls, as well as for mongers. Sometimes, the defendant simply cannot plea bargain because that option is not available (due to other priors, etc) and the case, flimsy as it seems, actually DOES go to trial. During voir dire, any freethinking person is quickly ejected, and the fat PTA grandma's, corrections officers posing as private citizens, and gang member thug rat sleepers are injected into the jury pool surreptitiously and the defendant is indeed convicted. Most jurors have already decided long before the trial itself that they will convict, and many jurors are like I said, fake jurors who have been instructed to do their job and convict. Therefore, it is not a level playing field for the defense, unless you are John Gotti and have millions of dollars to tamper with a jury.
As a free-thinking citizen, during the questioning (voir dire), you do NOT have to give your true opinion about certain topics. Simply tell them you are "objective" and want to see the evidence before deciding. Do not appear opinionated either way, and you may be allowed into the jury box by default because some real jurors actually do get in. At that point, do not allow yourself to be swayed by the jury foreman (who 99% of the time is a LE plant) and simply vote not guilty. If they ask you why? Just say the prosecutor did not prove it's case.
I respectfully disagree with your opinion that American citizens do not have a right to jury nullification. The system is terrified that any percentage of Americans will realize the fact that the JURY is the LAW, NOT the statutes, penal code, legislative branch, nor the judge, nor the prosecutors, NONE of that shit. The JURY is the LAW, period. In the United States, England, and many 1st world countries, the right to jury nullification is baked into the cake so to speak. Please do some more study about this critically important topic.

Now she's trying to fly this on the national stage when it won't work because she's losing the bible belt and other conservative states. Its not for the US but it should have worked in San Francisco. Yes, Germany is a good model for the rest of the world. Nice to see older German couples walking the canals in Amsterdam to spice their own love life. It will take a miracle to have the US population understand that sex is not bad with its history. It was less than 400 years ago (1620) when the Puritans came over.

The Orange county the is posting names and photos of people arrested for prostitution related offenses. In list of names only a lot of guys were cited for loitering. I was fairly amazed how many guys have been arrested for prostitution related offenses since OC does not conduct all that many stings. The web site does not list dates. So it is hard to tell how long ago they were arrested. It is important to remember that if you have been stopped for prostitution related offense that this can be used against you for up to 6 or 8 months. The other thing to remember is that LE has become very aggressive in recent years about prostitution in CA.

" You demonstrated with that statement that you know not of what you speak.
