California GOP assembly leader says new law would 'encourage and enable human trafficking'
Fox News
California Democrats repealed a law that had banned loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution, a move some state Republicans say encourages human trafficking.
"It allowed police officers to arrest a person, not based on what they did, but based solely on how a person looks," Wiener told KGO-TV. "So an officer could arrest someone because they were wearing tight clothing, high heels and extra lipstick."
The new law, which went into effect on Jan. 1, has sparked criticism from Republicans, including GOP Assembly leader James Gallagher, who claims the measure allows illegal activity, including human trafficking.
