Our nation’s capital has decided that there is a much simpler way to sift out who is turning tricks on the city’s streets. D.C. police working the beat in one of the city’s “Prostitution Free Zones” are now allowed to arrest anyone who is carrying three or more condoms around as a potential sex worker. Now that seems a little excessive DCPD. Condoms can often come in packs of three, so you’re pretty much penalizing anyone who’s trying to get a little loving. The practice has expanded to both San Francisco and New York. So if you’re looking for a little late-night fun, you better hide your rubbers like they’re contraband getting smuggled across the border.
But seriously, this move by authorities can present issues for real sex workers, as they are much less inclined to carry around their own stash of condoms. This can up the potential for a lot of unsafe sex, dangerous for both the workers and the general public. According to Change.org, some underground brothels and other businesses don’t feel comfortable keeping prophylactics on site anymore because they could be used as evidence against them. Not a safe situation for anyone.
