THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL IS EXPECTED TO GET A PROPOSED ORDINANCE MONDAY NIGHT THE MEASURE WOULD "BOOT" THE VEHICLES OF JOHNS CAUGHT PATRONIZING PROSTITUTES. MAYOR RICHARD BERRY … WHO'S ADMINISTRATION DRAFTED THE PROPOSAL … SAYS IT WOULD COST THE CITY VERY LITTLE. HE SAYS THE OFFENDERS WOULD ACTUALLY FUND THE PROGRAM BY PAYING BOOTING AND TOWING COSTS. BERRY SAYS THE CITY WOULD, HOWEVER, BUY BOOTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE "JOHNS" PROGRAM TO DIFFERENTIATE THEM FROM THOSE USED FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.
THE PROPOSAL IS BEING QUESTIONED BY THE ACLU. IT'S CONCERNED THE MEASURE WOULD SEIZE THE VEHICLES OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE INNOCENT.
