D.C. Declares a ‘Prostitution Free Zone’ for Inauguration
You’re reading it right: portions of downtown have been declared a “Prostitution Free Zone” for the Inaugural celebration period. The best part?
It has an expiration date, as though at all other times, hookers have free reign over downtown Washington — hey, at least the MPD is honest.
Truth be told, this isn’t the first time the MPD has declared a PFZ.
You can read about how the law works here, but the basic idea is that it allows police officers to issue fines of $300 to a group of two or more persons found congregating in a public space or property within the PFZ for the purpose of engaging in prostitution or prostitution-related offenses.
Still, these signs are sure to look mighty funny to most people walking through the area on their way to the Inauguration on Tuesday.
