CA democras are disgusting

You are arguing about end goals I am not arguing about, and ignoring the change to the method of achieving the end goal.

Prosecutors who have made their bones trying to break these rings up don't like this law. it takes away their leverage.

It protects pimps and johns......ie suppliers and customers.....and hurts the products...ie kids.

Another lie. What a surprise. It does NOT protect the pimps and johns. They can still be arrested. Why? Because the law did NOT make child prostitution legal.

Anything that makes it harder to prosecute them helps them. Prosecutors have lost leverage on the kids that are picked up. Even if they never intend to prosecute, they had at least the hammer to convince these kids to go against whatever conditioning they had received from the traffickers.

please excuse some of the wording

As I stated in my original response, the intent of this is worthy, however the end result is the loss of leverage over a potentially unwilling victim of a crime.

In the end, the only thing this does is help the trafffickers because now the State can't use leverage to get the kids to name names.

Here is a interesting link with the same concerns as you..

here is a scale of this same law in the Netherlands

* Prostitution has never been illegal in the Netherlands, but a ban on pimping and brothels was enacted in 1911 "to protect prostitutes from exploitation." This ban was not enforced since 1960, and in 2000 it was removed from the penal code. Per a Dutch governmental report, "One of the most important objectives" of the bill that removed the ban on pimping and brothels "was to prevent and combat human trafficking."[178] [179] Per the same report:

• Between 2000 and 2009, the number of reported trafficking victims in the Netherlands grew from 341 people in 2000 to 909 people in 2009.

Ok..here is another way of looking at it..

Like I said I worked with gangs so I understand a bit ( I never dealt with sex offenders)

This law is mainly to protect the Innocent victims...but like you said it may give away some of the leverage

but..

like that link I gave you the pimps brainwash, manipulate, and scare these young people..
many of them don't even know who the pimp is..

Some even while under arrest with not talk , and go right back as soon as they are released( or run away) sure they will get a probation officer, but will never show up..

It is the same with addiction

some will have a light bulb moment and find recovery

So now prosecutors have no leverage. Hell, if the pimp has enough balls it can claim IT's the guardian and try to get the kid back. Without the criminal system as a coutnerweight, it's possible.

Actually it is the democrats and the republicans who have cut SS for years.same way the streets are full of the mentally ill ...because well it started with Reagan

Over 30 years ago, when Reagan was elected President in 1980, he discarded a law proposed by his predecessor that would have continued funding federal community mental health centers. This basically eliminated services for people struggling with mental illness.

He made similar decisions while he was the governor of California, releasing more than half of the state’s mental hospital patients and passing a law that abolished involuntary hospitalization of people struggling with mental illness. This started a national trend of de-institutionalization.

The intent may be noble behind this, but the execution, like most progressive plans, is where the issue is.

California Democrats legalize child prostitution

The unintended but predictable consequence of how the real villains — pimps and other traffickers in human misery — will respond to this new law isn't difficult to foresee. Pimping and pandering will still be against the law whether it involves running adult women or young girls. But legalizing child prostitution will only incentivize the increased exploitation of underage girls. Immunity from arrest means law enforcement can't interfere with minors engaging in prostitution — which translates into bigger and better cash flow for the pimps. Simply put, more time on the street and less time in jail means more money for pimps, and more victims for them to exploit.

As Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, a national leader on human trafficking issues, told the media, "It just opens up the door for traffickers to use these kids to commit crimes and exploit them even worse." Another prosecutor insightfully observed that if traffickers wrote legislation to protect themselves, it would read like SB 1322.

Arresting them at least got them off the street, even if for a short amount of time, and gave law enforcement some leverage to try to convince obviously coerced people to rat out their pimps or enablers.


Now that they can't even arrest them, there is little chance of helping them. Now they can't separate the underage prostitutes from their pimps long enough to talk to them. They would be too scared to go to police on their own to report sex trafficking.

This is yet another example of how liberals do not understand human nature. This will ultimately make the problem worse because it gives sex traffickers more control over their victims. As usual, the left didn't think this through and they'll never admit they were wrong when things get worse because of this.
 
I agree that there are problems with this bill. I agree that it may not help all underage prostitutes.

But I know for sure that the law does not legalize child prostitution, as the OP says. And considering the problems we are having with fake news, the fact that the article simply lied makes it part of another problem. And no one seems interested in solving that problem.

So your solution is just legalize child prostitution and ignore the problem.
