Authorizing law enforcement officers to impound the vehicles of persons who are patronizing prostitutes.
The bill was read the second time.
MOTION
Senator Morton moved that the following amendments be considered simultaneously and be adopted:
On page 1, line 7, after "vehicles" insert "and beds"
On page 1, line 14, after "vehicles" insert "and using beds"
On page 2, line 4, after "vehicle" insert "and/or bed"
On page 2, line 5, after "vehicle" insert "and/or bed"
On page 2, line 6, after "vehicle" insert "and/or bed"
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Pelz: "Senator Morton, I know the part of the state you are from. Are you referring to the bed of a truck here?"
Senator Morton: "Well, in all seriousness, Senator, I refer to the beds that may be in the motorized vehicles--the RVs, the campers-- whereby we would be impounding both, but we certainly should impound the vehicle and the bed. I appreciate your humorous comment." Senator Pelz: "I'm still confused. Are we talking about beds that are out in the street, but would these be beds inside someone's home and we would be going, therefore, into the bedroom on this amendment?"
Senator Morton: "We enter into an area here of the payment for these services and if the payment is in the area of an overnight stay in the motel or a very scenic excursion in a motorized vehicle such as an RV or a camper, then yes, these would be in lieu of services rendered and payment thereof. It would fit very clearly in this. I am not aware, in the area in which I serve, of any beds on the street or beds in the park, but I understand that there may be such in the form of air mattresses and foam mattresses in other parts of the state of which I am not very well acquainted with."
Further debate ensued.
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Kohl: "Senator Morton, I am wondering how this might work. Would this mean that we would be authorizing police to enter individual's homes--into their bedrooms--on some suspicion that they may have a prostitute present?"
Senator Morton: "It is my understanding that in order to complete the arrest, there must be evidence that an act of prostitution has taken place. In order to identify that act, there may well be that the only place of the act taking place is in the bedroom or on the bed and in that case, it would seem it would fit very clearly in line with the remainder of the bill, which involves the vehicle."
Senator Kohl: "But, does that mean then, Senator Morton, that we would be authorizing police to enter anybody's home to find out if there might be an act taking place?"
Senator Morton: "I understand that the law now is such that, in many instances, an RV can also be considered a home and if that is the incidence, I believe that a warrant has to be issued there, and so in that case, if a warrant were issued, 'yes.'"
Further debate ensued.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the motion by Senator Morton to adopt the amendments on page 1, lines 7 and 14, and page 2, lines 4, 5 and 6, to Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5139.
The motion by Senator Morton failed and the amendments were not adopted.
