It was mostly done so sex workers wouldnt be getting felonies. If you are a sex worker and you solicit someone and youre HIV positive, youre guilty of a felony before any contact occurs, said California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D), a co-sponsor of the bill. These laws are so draconian that you can be convicted of a felony and sent to state prison even if you engage in behavior that creates zero risk of HIV infection. basically the law as it was written could give someone a felony even if no contact occurred yet. Even by making the base a misdemeanor youll still be able to charge the person with more on a case by case basis. This just makes it so its not a black and white instant felony. --- "I devour urine just like my Portland Trailblazers, with piss poor defense." ... Copied to Clipboard! |
