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."

From the future news department;
"After just one year of instating the controversial 'John letters' the Los Angeles City Council contractor's website was broken into and over 4 million records stolen. Reports are coming in that the addresses are receiving both ransom demands and religious paraphernalia, this follows the 73 domestic violence cases reportedly related to receiving the letters, which resulted in 17 deaths".
