California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill to decriminalize "Loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution.” Gov. Newsom believes loitering laws are used by police to discriminate against people of color and the LGBTQ community. However, Governor Newsom wants to make one thing clear,"This bill does not legalize prostitution." "It simply revokes provisions of the law that have led to disproportionate harassment of women and transgendered adults. While I agree with the author's intent and I am signing this legislation, we must be cautious about its implementation. My Administration will monitor crime and prosecution trends for any possible unintended consequences and will act to mitigate any such impacts."
What do you think? Good move by the govenor or naw?
