Women in New York are getting arrested for carrying condoms

Women in New York are getting arrested for carrying condoms. “If a New York police officer thinks your skirt is too short and you happen to be carrying condoms, that’s reportedly enough evidence to arrest you.” The city gives out condoms to prevent disease. Maybe people are using them to carry 16 ounces of soda or something.

  • What the hell connection is there that "Human Rights Watch" is interviewing "sex workers"? Is whoring now a "human right"?

      • That's the main issue with prostitution, at least if we want to overlook the moral aspect, which is necessary in the secular realm. But it is true. Pimping women by force is well outside the acceptable realm, and all too common, especially when the coercion is founded in overtaking their will with drugs, physical violence and other mind control. The 'clean' sex trade is hard to distinguish from the rat bag controlled stuff because there is always an overlap between the two. The easy money doesn't always lead to the life of a high class hooker, and high class hookers don't always maintain control of their lives forever.

        • Take a trip out to the Mustang Ranch, outside of Reno. No drugs, no pimps, nobody getting beat up, no diseases, no gangsters, no criminals hanging around outside the building. Sparkling clean, operated like a real business, nobody being coerced into anything. Crime follows prostitution around because prostitution is illegal.

          • Harry Reid's home state, you ever wonder where he learned how to be a senator? Lesson from the Ranch... screw em, tell them they are wonderful and take the money and run.. and do it to as many as possible....prostitution=senator, senator= prostitute, kinda interchangeable......:)

  • What a STUPID article. These women are being arrested for PROSTITUTION, not for carrying condoms.

    Is it stupid for prostitution to be illegal? Yes. But it IS illegal. Should people who break laws be arrested? YES. Should we try to change laws we don't agree with? Yes. But do we just ignore them if we disagree? No. (Very good, class!)

    So, typical libtard spin. Make it sound as if the CONDOMS are the problem. It's like saying that guns are the problem, not the people who use guns to kill people.

  • Probable cause standards must be very, very low in New York....I just wonder when this all goes off the deep end and Bloomtud has his boys set up a Checkpoint to check for condoms, short skirts, illegal amounts of salt and ketchup, trans-fat smugglers, hidden guns, and hidden soda storage devices...wait I think I just described East Germany a few years back...Blow the bridges, put up a wall and keep Bloomturd in and the everyone else out.

  • What's next, Slut Permits? Or maybe Whore Medallions like they do with the cabs? I'm sensing a new revenue stream for the city.

    • Slut permits. Hmmm. Maybe more like a seal or a stamp. You know, like 'Do not use if the seal is damaged or broken.' and 'Sanitized for your protection.' Would require inspection and refill stations on every freaking corner, but you're right! Just think of all the union jobs it would support, with virtually no work involved.

  • Yeah, and I heard a hot dog vendor in the Bronx was arrested, too. NYPD became suspicious of his calling out to passersby. Turns out his cart was loaded with condiments so they hauled him in.
