Assembly Bill (AB) 62 permits a person to drive a motor vehicle with a video screen that is displaying a TV or video signal, located in the vehicle’s front-seat area, as long as the video screen is designed, operated, and configured in a manner that prevents the driver of the vehicle from viewing the show or video.
Another new law, AB 14, authorizes cities or counties to adopt local ordinances stating that if a person is arrested for using a vehicle to commit or attempt to commit a crime of prostitution or illegal commercial dumping, that vehicle may be considered a public nuisance and impounded for up to 30 days, if the person has at least one prior conviction for either of those crimes in the previous three years. AB 14 also requires vehicle-storage facilities to accept a bank credit or debit card or cash for payment of towing, storage, and related fees. Storage-facility operators who refuse to accept a credit or debit card or cash shall be civilly liable for four times the amount of the fees, not to exceed $500.

… We were passing through, saw this old downtown building and fell in love with it,” he explained. “It is the old Opera House. When we inquired, we discovered that the stage is still upstairs and could be put back the way it was at the turn of the century.”
He said that the previous owners had constructed two apartments upstairs on what used to be the theatre seating area and his plans are to gut those apartments, restore a balcony, and bring back the feel of an audience hall.
“It’s not a theatre with the slanted floors like we see nowadays, but a flat-floored auditorium with a stage at the far end of the building.” Gropp said. “It’s a ten-year plan and it will come as it comes. We moved here from Woodstock and someone there did the same thing with their old opera house. It worked very well.”
He said the old opera house was kind of the center of a red light district in Stockton in the old days.

… However, the fact that we have linked him to three cases means he clearly remains a potential suspect in any number of similar unsolved murders that occurred in Baton Rouge in the late 1990s to the early 2000s, particularly those involving black female victims who engaged in high-risk lifestyles,” said Sgt. Don Kelly, a spokesman with the Baton Rouge Police Department.
Since 1999, a total of 10 women, including the three Guillory is accused of killing, have been stabbed, strangled or beaten in a four-square-mile area east of downtown, according to The Advocate’s archives.
Most of the victims were black women between the ages of 29 and 46. Most were found naked or partially naked in or near parks or vacant buildings. And most had criminal records that included arrests for prostitution or drugs.

Letters for December 24, 2009
Letter of the weekNot your freak show
Re “Cruising for urban legends” by Ted Cox (SN&R Arts&Culture, December 17):
Writer Ted Cox should apologize for his atrocious article. To troll the streets of Sacramento seeking out little people in order to gawk and exploit for this article is despicable.
To make matters worse, he refers to the little person he is targeting as a “midget.” That’s a horribly offensive term for people with dwarfism. Imagine if Cox wrote about his journeys looking for African-American prostitutes and called them by the “N” word. Wouldn’t that get you into trouble?
I happen to be a little person myself and am an active member of Little People of America (lpaonline.org), a national organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with dwarfism. Members of our organization strive to educate others about our diversity and ask for respect and understanding about our health condition. All we want is to be treated fairly.

Vacaville Sex For Sale
FOX40 News December 23, 2009
VACAVILLE – A husband pimping out his own wife online and a woman giving sexual services at a massage parlor.
They’re just some of the alleged crimes stopped by a prostitution sting in Vacaville over the past three months.
Vacaville Police say Lina Nguyen was offering special sexual services inside K&M Massage parlor. FOX40 did talk to the owner, but she said she was unaware of what Nguyen was doing on her property.
But cops say Nguyen was providing sexual services on a daily basis. And it appears she wasn’t shy about her location – K & M is just 3-blocks from the Vacaville Police Department.
Still cops say their shocker in this several month long sting is Samuel and Christina Lamb – a husband and wife team who advertised sex online.

Ranking the NBA from worst to first…
30. New Jersey Nets (2-26) Last week: Lost at Cleveland; lost to Utah; lost at Toronto; lost to L.A. Lakers. This is not good for Rafer Alston. He’s 33 years old, shooting 34 percent from the field, and becoming a forgotten man in a contract year. And playing with this team, Skip is liable to age another four years before July 1.
29. Golden State Warriors (7-19)
Last week: Lost at Philadelphia; lost to San Antonio; lost to Washington.
Steph Curry and Anthony Randolph are like the young stripper in a gold-digging marriage with the dirty geezer. Just keep your eyes on the prize, do what the old man says, and soon enough, the keys to the mansion will be yours.
28. Minnesota Timberwolves (5-22) Last week: Won at Utah; lost to L.A. Clippers; beat Sacramento; lost at Boston. Any other year, Jonny Flynn would be right in the middle of the Rookie of the Year discussion. But given what’s happening in Sacramento and Milwaukee, Flynn’s 14.2 ppg and 4.1 apg won’t be good enough.

Rumors of a little-person prostitute sends this writer on a Watt-Auburn corridor adventure
…
But don’t pretend you’d look the other way if you spotted a midget twirling a pink feather boa on the side of Auburn Boulevard or Watt Avenue. (I don’t know if this prostitute actually owns a pink feather boa, but that’s just the way my fantasy goes.)
…
Do you know what the best thing is about asking a random stranger if they’ve seen a particular prostitute? It’s the wide-eyed, “What the hell?” look they shoot back. Like this one blond, mid-40s dude I spotted outside a gas station near Country Club Plaza. He had two days of scruff and wore a red flannel.
…
Just south of Business 80, I talk to a woman dressed in a baggy red T-shirt and blue jeans. The conversation doesn’t go well, mostly because I feel weird asking her about a prostitute’s whereabouts. I must have come off as creepy as those balding, mustachioed guys who show up alone at Miley Cyrus concerts.
