Nearly naked prostitutes brazenly advertising their services have been plaguing California cities ever since a radical law to ban arrests for loitering while soliciting, signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, went into effect in January.
“They’re waving to people on the freeway or, just to be honest with you, they are bending over for the freeway. I don’t know how else to put it; they’re showing their wares,” the mayor, who says he is “non-partisan,” said.
California’s Senate Bill 357, which went into effect in January after being signed last July, overturned a previous law that banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. The bill, authored by far-left state Sen. Scott Wiener, claimed this would help protect “black, brown, and trans women” from being targeted by police.
