You can be charged with a prostitution offense for not much

In the city of San Francisco you can be arrested for intent to solicit a prostitute. This is something of a thought crime. If the government believes you intended enough to do an action, though you never agreed to do that action, than it is a crime. For example, if you make...

Police once again demanding you don't film them, and want your ID
