FW: Sizing up john law

Subject: Sizing up john law

Your editorial on October 24 entitled, 'Sizing Up The John Law,' makes no sense.

The police routinely seize guns, knives, baseball bats, dope, drugs, and other tools of the crime trade, and keep them until the, 'the due process of a trial and conviction,' takes its course.

This concept in the law has never been deemed to contravene the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Why should we hold people who buy sex?

Could it be we want to continue this multi-standard in our laws? Some crimes and those committ them are better than others? Or could it be that society just does not care about the sex trade workers?

Or is because those that are complaining about the law, are also those that might get caught up in it?

As the writer of the editorial, I 'remain skeptical,' of the thinking that went into the editorial.

Thank you
