A MEASURE THAT'LL CONFISCATE THE VEHICLES OF JOHNS AND PIMPS IS GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT BY THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL. THE VOTE LATE MONDAY NIGHT WAS 8 TO 1 … WITH REY GARDUNO THE SOLE NAY VOTE. HE HAD CONCERNS OVER PEOPLE BEING WRONGLY ACCUSED AND LOSING THEIR CARS … OR A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND USING THEIR VEHICLE TO SEEK A PROSTITUTE.
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WAS SPONSORED BY KEN SANCHEZ AND ROXANNA MEYERS. SANCHEZ SAYS APD NEEDS MORE OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH PROSTITUTION IN ALBUQUERQUE. HE SAYS HE SEES ACTIVITY ON WEST CENTRAL DAILY.
SANCHEZ SAYS MAYOR RICHARD BERRY IS EXPECTED TO SIGN THE ORDINANCE, AFTER WHICH IT WILL TAKE EFFECT IN 30 DAYS. THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT TARGET PROSTITUTES … JUST JOHNS AND PIMPS.
