Ralph Jones, a 70-year-old welder, told the New York Times that Memphis police seized his truck after accusing him of trying to “solicit a prostitute.” The charges were dropped, but police kept his truck and work tools impounded for six weeks before he could get his items returned in exchange for a $750 fee. “It’s nothing but a racket,” Jones told The New York Times.

A mulher não se sente segura de nenhuma forma. O perigo existe seja no lar ou fora dele. Ora, [ se manifestar durante estarmos em casa, somos conduzidas por sentença o dever da obrigação], se fora dele, somos vistas como se fossemos delinquentes comuns que ” procura na rua” e encontra a sua disposição. Somos condenadas pelo comportamento. Mas o vício que nos leva a qualquer confinamento solitário, vem sempre dos hábitos cotidianos de outrora: castigo e correção devem ser vistos como o caminho da transformação do indivíduo. Isto cabe a nós mulheres, perante alguma prática de desobediência.
