These days, it means "attempting to solicit others to engage in illicit sexual acts" (at night, of course). Police use it when they don't have enough evidence of actual solicitation (as opposed to attempted solicitation) or the actual exchange of sex for a fee. Mass. courts have periodically chided local police departments for unconstitutionally focusing their enforcement efforts on women, but they've refused to rule that the law itself is unconstitutional. Still, as a matter of everyday practice, prostitutes (not johns) continue to make up the majority of charged common night walkers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14062701.post-1136939498565042222006-01-10T19:31:00.000-05:002006-01-10T19:31:00.000-05:00Oh, wait until they post their first item about so...Oh, wait until they post their first item about somebody being arrested for "uttering." <BR/><BR/>Although I think my favorite item on the site has to be the one about the pimp who lost his marbles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
