Get caught with a prostitute, get your name on a sign
Cops publicizing names of johns on Central Avenue sign

ALBANY -- Drop your trousers on Central Avenue and you might see your name in lights -- but probably not the way your mother always hoped.
In an effort to battle quality of life crimes on the bustling commercial strip -- specifically out-of-town johns looking for a romp with Albany prostitutes -- the police department has erected the electronic sign and pledged to post the names of those arrested.
The goal, police say, is to not have to post any names. None have appeared since the sign went up after a Sept. 16 prostitution sting that netted six arrests.

Why not set up the old stocks in the middle of the city and just put the offenders in there.  That will not solve anything.  The prostitutes will move somewhere else in West Hill.  Putting offenders names in "lights" may embarrass the offender but why bring that down on possibly someone's children who go to school in Albany.   Police should protect the city against crime but they have the responsibility to keep children safe as well in all facets of their lives. BAD MOVE.  NO WINNERS.

Law isn't meant to make winners........but it's the weiners that seem to have problems  


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
