Sex for money now ok in Washtenaw County?

[MWmetalhead]

I think it's important to distinguish between the county prosecutor's office apparent decision to not to press charges in cases of prostitution versus legality.

Sex for money and solicitation of sex for money remain illegal.

The prosecutor could change his mind, his successor could choose to prosecute cases the current prosecutor is choosing not to pursue (I have no idea what the statute of limitations is for such crimes), the state of Michigan could seek to press charges & prosecute cases, etc.

What I'm trying to say is this - anyone who engages in such activity in Washtenaw County is doing so at his or her own risk from a criminality standpoint!

As for the current prosecutor's decision to not prosecute cases, I have mixed views. For starters, is he violating his oath of office by making such a decision? Do we really want one individual subjectively choosing which laws to enforce and which laws not to enforce?

From a public safety & policy perspective - decriminalizing prostitution may be a wise move. However, that should occur by way of legislation. (I would be opposed, however, to the legalization of brothels.)

Savit is newly elected, and he's doing exactly what he said he would: https://eli2020.com/issues

Savit faced a competitive primary for an open seat. As a Washtenaw resident, I don't have any issues with the early actions.

I think this is more akin to counties that no longer prosecute for marijuana possession. If you blatantly are dealing marijuana you will probably get in trouble. But if you're found with less than an ounce no problem. Texas will never pass a marijuana legal possession legislation at least of the next 10 years, but many sheriffs simply don't bother with it anymore in the prosecutors I won't press charges.

I think this is what the prosecutor is suggesting in this case. I think it's going to be an interesting experiment to watch.

I do support Savit's recent changes with regard to bail protocols.

Think the short-term hotel/motel business in the country is going to explode?

Many of the U-hookers all over operate out of their dorm rooms or apartments.

EXCELLENT questions!!

We really need to get away from subjective enforcement of laws. Either you are WRONG and doing something ILLEGAL and need to be PUNISHED, or we need to MODIFY THE LAW to address the real issue. We should not allow anyone in government to tweak the laws to their own benefit or to how they interpret how or whether certain things should be enforced.

Not sure if one should respond with "Good to know!" or not?

At least at the federal level as long as the Senate operates with a filibuster and not a simple majority it’ll be hard to get much done. The senate is the most broken place at that level. Somewhere in there (weed comes to mind) is the intersection of that state of affairs and states wanting to legalize certain things but they are federally illegal and a vote to change that could get 51 votes but not 60. The filibuster needs to go. It’s being abused anyways. It was intended that you’d stand there until you fell over. In the 70’s they changed the rules so that you can invoke it and go home.

Every prosecutor has to make subjective decisions on which cases get pursued and which don't. Thanks to Republicans, funding to operate a DA's office to the standard you're suggesting isn't financial feasible.

Sex trafficking is a big problem in our state.

I happen to agree. And has been for a long time, and at very high levels. Check Epstein's "Little Black Book", which lists the phone numbers for his "Michigan home" in Green Lake Township. It was just released in a document dump last night.

Released where exactly? Man you are a bad shit crazy.

Take my word for it. It's coming out. Are you worried that your name is on it? I can tell you for sure, there is a broadcaster, who was once a DJ on a Michigan radio station, that IS in the "Little Black Book". Since the flight manifests are abbreviated and coded, it couldn't be established that he was on any flights to Epstein Island at this time. One of my few friends on the message board told me it's not you. So you can start breathing again. They told me who it was.

Why? Are they a protected class now too?

Ha, no. 32 just seemed like an arbitrary age.

I like how the French determine how old a mistress can be: 1/2 your age + 7.

[Matt]

I propose a modification: low end = half your age; high end = your age + 7
