Mission Creep in Anti-Prostitution Law

The AP via News8Austin: Houston proposal would outlaw renting rooms for prostitution

The Houston City Council is considering a proposal that would make it illegal for motels to rent rooms knowing they would be used for prostitution.

Houston police say the ordinance would help them stop motels from becoming prostitution hide-outs -- especially the motels that cater to such customers.

Council members were receptive to the proposal at a meeting yesterday, but some questioned how police planned to enforce the law.


These punks want to impose a fine of up to $2,000 on motel employees.
