2. No on Proposition 35
Thu Oct 18, 2012, 02:30 PM
Oct 2012
No one argues that stiffer fines and penalties for human traffickers aren't warranted. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details of this ballot measure. Ambiguous language and broad definitions would set up dangerous legal challenges to the rights of both victims and suspects, while at the same time putting burdensome new requirements on local law enforcement agencies that are already overwhelmed with tracking the state's 90,000-plus registered sex offenders. Consensual relationships between teenagers hovering just above and below the age of 18 could also fall into a legal gray area. Proposition 35 will likely pass, because its goal is noble, but the execution of the language leaves much to be desired.


Also, I love that the altie paper in the area of the secretive Bohemian Grove is called the "Bohemian"!

Disclosing internet identities is also unenforceable. All someone would have to do is use a VPN to hide what they are doing. This why Alpha Crucis Radio urges Californians to vote no on propositions. This will burden law enforcement with someone the cannot possibly enforce, if someone is teach saavy enough.

Being that most VPN services do not keep logs, they will render this law useless and why Alpha Crucis Radio urges a NO vote on prop 35. It will never work.

7. CHART showing recs of CA Dem Party and 13 state labor and progressive organizations

The pdf chart at the link is provided by the Courage Campaign:

http://courage.3cdn.net/dc70549415e8bf39a2_6cm6bhvzs.pdf

Where they take a position, These organizations recommend:

NO: 31, 32, 33, 38

YES: 30, 34, 35*, 36, 37, 39, 40

* Despite the Yes recommendation on 35, the Courage Campaign notes that there are constitutional concerns about this proposition:


PROP 35: Increased Penalties for Human Trafficking

Increases penalties for human trafficking, sex offenses and imposes new restrictions on registered sex offenders. Some allies believe it is unconstitutional and have concerns about increasing penalties within the troubled criminal justice system, which incarcerates people of color and the poor at a disproportionately high rate.
