Council Unanimously Approves 500 Percent Increase in Prostitution Fines
$2500 to $5000 fine? Seriously? The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. " These cheap politicians think they're God, all this is going to do is backfire in their faces. Nobody will pay that nor could they even afford it. Get busted, why take a plea? It would simply cost less to hire a top notch lawyer and just get it thrown out or better yet go to trial, most of these cases are weak at best to begin with. Then they want to broadcast you on shame TV huh? OK that great, until one of their own gets busted! How many times has that happened? Too many to mention.
