- Riveting court room drama with innocent jurors trying to understand why Alameda County is producing this expensive reality show (and with no cameras in sight?)!
- More complicated than a plot of 'Law and Order,' sexier than 'Allie McBeal,' less evidence than 'Boston Legal'
- Cry at the waste of thousands and maybe millions of your tax dollars arresting innocent men and women for agreeing to boink for bucks.

Vehicles leaving San Francisco 11:00 am Thursday, meet at 398 11th Street for carpool (info 415-751-1659)

Bring music, costumes, righteous indignation and signs such as:


"Arresting Prostitutes = Safe, Easy Work For Cops"
"Targeting Violent Criminals = Difficult & Dangerous"
"Guess Which Fremont Police Prefer?"


"If There's No Victim, How Can There Be A Crime?"
