[QUOTE=Redneck 1;1872633]Just to avoid any possible confusion on this matter, under Hawaii Revised Statutes section 712-1200, a court does have discretion to impose up to thirty days of imprisonment on a petty misdemeanor prostitution conviction.[/QUOTE]I think the imposition is in case the defendant doesn't have funds for the payment as well as repeat offense without payment those are factors they won't at this pint and time sentence a person to jail time because the prisons are crowded as it is.

Usually the $500.00 Fine is imposed on a first conviction rather than 30 days jail. The fine can also be converted to Community Service Work. While Hawaii's Prisons are overcrowded, it is not like say California, where defendants serving shot jail sentences are usually released early. If the judge sentences you to 30 days jail, you will do 30 days at OCCC or at a neighbor island facility if you get convicted on a neighbor island. And don't forget as of April 2013 no more Deferred Pleas for the johns.

We live under such Draconian laws. And then imagine the hypocrisy. No doubt that some who enact, enforce and prosecute these laws engage in those activities.

Does anyone know if Hapa Jasmine is coming back to Honolulu? If so do you know when? Would love to hit that again!

For even a first offense of prostitution (including a customer soliciting prostitution) there's a fine of "not less than" five-hundred dollars and up to a maximum of [b]one-thousand dollars[/b].

Act 247 also creates a new felony offense concerning solicitation of prostitution from a particular type of person. Although the details of that new Hawaii crime can't be discussed on this forum, Act 247 is readily available on the Hawaii State Legislature website.

In addition, Act 247 now authorizes forfeiture of some property for "promoting prostitution," "solicitation of a [word deleted] for prostitution," "habitual solicitation of prostitution," and "solicitation of prostitution near schools or public parks" (when chargeable as at least a full misdemeanor). Fortunately, however, forfeiture is still not authorized for just simple solicitation of prostitution that doesn't involve any of those factors.

[QUOTE=Hypo Luxa;1883080]She told me November[/QUOTE]Thanks Hypo. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[QUOTE=Hypo Luxa;1883080]She told me November[/QUOTE]Thanks Hypo Luxa, I can't wait to see her again. Do you know whats her user name on her? I know I seen it before but I can't find it.

[QUOTE=Hypo Luxa;1883080]She told me November[/QUOTE]I saw recent backpage ads for her up in Vegas I believe.

[QUOTE=Ratchet Lover;1883955]I saw recent backpage ads for her up in Vegas I believe.[/QUOTE]Jasmine's friend recently opened an AMP there. She told me she goes to Vegas to help out this friend. Jasmine was in Vegas while I also was there earlier this month. She called me and said she was headed back home the following morning and would I like to get together with her before she left. Unfortunately, I couldn't get away from the SO that night. Damn.

[QUOTE=Hypo Luxa;1883397]JasmineFlowers I think.[/QUOTE]That is it. Jasmine Flowers.

[QUOTE=Captain Nemo; 1881818]This is interesting. Where did you get them for about $10 each for 100mg? I shopped around and the best I could do was about $18.

I totally agree with your point about going only to a legit pharmacy, it's too dangerous otherwise.[/QUOTE]The $10/100mg price was what I remember from 2009 or so. Went to see my doctor this morning. He told me that the 100mg price now is $30 per pill at the Kaiser Pharmacy! The good news, though, is that the generic Viagra is now available (Sildenafil). Picked up forty 20mg tablets for $43 at Kaiser. Pharmacist told me they just got it in 2 weeks ago and I was lucky enough to get the last of this batch. Will give it a try and report back if there's a problem.

How come I don't hear about bars getting fine anymore.
