WINNIPEG, May 8 (LSN) – Manitoba’s Justice Minister Vic Toews announced Thursday that the provincial government is putting forward legislation to allow police to seize a vehicle used in connection with prostitution. First-time offending “johns” will have a chance to attend a “john school” rather than lose their cars.  Vehicles seized under the legislation will be sold, and the proceeds used to help people avoid falling into a life of prostitution. Mr Toews predicts the law will take effect by year’s end.
