The short explanation of this alert was:

Tell your Assembly Member to support the No Condoms as Evidence of Prostitution Bill (A.3856, S.1289)

This bill would stop police and prosecutors from using possession of condoms as evidence that a person engaged—or intended to engage—in prostitution.  Currently, police and courts can—and do—use the fact that a person has condoms to prove that they are engaging in criminal activity. The resulting police practice of confiscating condoms during arrests for prostitution-related offenses is preventing people from protecting themselves.

Send a free fax to your Assembly Member today!  All New Yorkers have the right to protect themselves against HIV, STDs and unplanned pregnancy without fear.
