Los Angeles City Council is considering sending "Dear John" letters to the registrants of cars seen in an area of San Fernando described as having a "thriving street prostitution problem". The plan would use automated license plate readers to identify vehicles that stopped in the area. Council member Nury Martinez claims "If you aren't soliciting, you have no reason to worry about finding one of these letters in your mailbox. But if you are, these letters will discourage you from returning."

    So, if they do go through with doing it, go and doctor up letters for the mayor and every councilmember and send them to their homes. For every Friday and Saturday night.

    Make sure their spouses get to the mailbox first as well.
