SF: Prop K - Changing the Enforcement of Laws Related to Prostitution and Sex Workers
Shall the City: stop enforcing laws against prostitution; stop funding or supporting the First Offender Prostitution Program or any similar anti-prostitution program; enforce existing criminal laws that prohibit crimes such as battery, extortion and rape, regardless of the victim’s status as a sex worker; and fully disclose the investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against sex workers?
Proposition K wants the City to not prosecute for prostitution and to not provide information of alternative opportunities to first-time offenders.
Yeah.
That is a no.
