Fictitious
Governor's Office
This memorandum is an analysis of the P&E issues raised by proposed legislative changes regarding criminal sexual behavior, as well as so-called "vices" and other related conduct. The purpose of this analysis is to define a coherent set of public policy objectives characterizing all legislative changes supported by the Fictitious State Governor's Office.
Upgrading penal classification of Solicitation/Prostitution misdemeanors and increasing sentences and fines associated with all Solicitation/Prostitution felonies.
This committee does not recommend enacting any of the proposed penal upgrades across the board as set forth. We recommend re-evaluating current "vice" policy regarding violations of existing
Solicitation/Prostitution statutes in order that funds for law enforcement and prosecution efforts be redirected and channeled more specifically toward violations that most affect "quality of life" issues for lawful citizens of Fictitious State.
Analysis:
Both anecdotal evidence and documented statistical information available from the seventeen counties in Nevada where prostitution is legal suggest that it is essentially a victimless crime. The overwhelming majority of ancillary crimes associated with prostitution in the rest of the country has been all but eliminated where the state has undertaken to regulate, control, and tax the activity rather than criminalize it and pursue prosecution for statutory violations.
The activity itself takes place behind closed doors and poses neither risk, nor harm, no inconvenience to the general public. In Nevada, legalization has effectively solved problems that persisted, despite allocation of significant public funds and law enforcement manpower. Legalization there seems to have improved communities where illegal prostitution had previously flourished in a way that constituted a blight on the surrounding communities. Similarly obvious results of this approach to prostitution include the incorporation of public health concerns within licensing requirements, as well as tax revenue from income that is now being reported. Somewhat less obvious, though equally important benefit of state regulation is the effect on the dignity and autonomy of the individuals providing "services" without the abuses inherent where regulation and control" is left to predatory criminals.
In many ways, the current situation elsewhere is precisely...

Indeed, both of these issues speak to the reason for my letter today.

There are strong and compelling arguments that suggest that through this demonstrated incompetence, many of the terror plots are in fact enabled by our organization. Aaronson (2011) explained how this failure is hurting the practical application of the law. He wrote "With three exceptions, all of the high-profile domestic terror plots of the last decade were actually FBI stings. (the exceptions are Najibullah Zazi, who came close to bombing the
Oregon Supreme Court lately endorsed a disciplinary damage verdict for trespass stemming from an ecological remonstration. Even though the law at present authorizes disciplinary indemnity for trespass, this Memorandum makes a case that an instruction that permits the adjudicators to reflect on reasons and viewpoints in measuring disciplinary damages for civil disobedience breaches both the United States, as well as, Oregon Constitutions. This memorandum further makes a case that,
