If a john gets convicted of soliciting a prostitute, the city could sell his car.</p> <p>Since officials usually target the workers, it's somewhat refreshing to see equivalent attention paid to the customer criminals. Even so, I'm not sure any law will help end the timeless sale of sex. Will this measure put the issue of prostitution to bed? </p> <p><a href="http://www.legacycreative.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Source</a></p> </p><!-- no strip poll --><form action="/1766416" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Will Impounding Johns&#039; Cars Put Prostitution to Bed?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="0" class="form-radio" /> Yay!
