Charge them as sex offenders. They're near a school and their half naked. A guy I know took an emergency "pee" and had to get an attorney to keep from being charged as a sex offender because it was near a school.

During the Civil Unrest of 2020, while serving with the Army National Guard, our role was limited to observation and contacting the police when necessary. Carrying weapons was solely for self-defense or, in extreme cases, to protect innocent individuals in danger. Essentially, our authority was minimal during such situations, but the presence of weapons did deter potential threats, giving the impression that we were capable of defending ourselves and others if needed. Yet, if a threat arises against our bases, we do possess the authority to intervene. Certain roads used by civilians during threats are under military control, granting military personnel the jurisdiction to take action in such areas.

As a Californian I'd say the decline into a cesspool of Oakland and other cities along with increasing state level quality-of life declines, is not by accident. Years if not decades of legislative foolishness in cities and the state capital have resulted in basically more uncivilized behavior, which is increasingly tolerated by the judicial system, and by the people themselves as they just become accustomed and accepting as they adapt to more and more lawless and/or trashy behavior by the people around them.

Because there are no laws against wearing bikinis and what is and isn`t "indecent" is relative to perspective. I personally don`t see anything "indecent" about nudity because it`s natural and I also don`t think you, society or government have the right to stop prostitutes from making money. If ya don`t live in Oakland, don`t preach and mind your business.

These women are picked up on International. If they are not amenable to being trafficked, then they are jettisoned out on Seminary due to its semi rural nature. The women take up their spots on International. They seemed to be placed there with the precision of Goldsteam Guards. Pace sticked into position by some invisible Sergeant Major. Capp St. Grayson, Market, etc. The flat terrain makes it ideal for strolling and trolling.

The question is why do the voters of Oakland elect politicians who are incapable of dealing with the city's serious problems. The majority of eligible voters in Oakland don't even vote in most elections. Robberies grew 38% last year in Oakland, according to police data. Burglaries increased 23%. Motor vehicle theft jumped 44%. Roughly one of every 30 Oakland residents had a car stolen last year, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis.
