San Francisco police are going undercover as sex workers to catch suspected “Johns” on Capp Street.
"We have a prostitution problem. We hear the neighbors loud and clear about what’s happening, and we are taking action," said SFPD Assistant Chief Davis Lazar.
Neighbors we talked to said enforcement is long overdue. They said there are often 50 or more sex workers lining their street, with cars clogging the road, and music blaring into the early morning hours. They hope this crackdown sends a message that Capp Street is not a red-light district."I think people need to know Capp Street is a place where you will be held accountable if you come here looking for sex workers," said one resident.
"Last night I was able to take a walk and take a breather," said neighbor Monica Pereira. "I felt safe. I walked alone. I did not see one individual working on the street."Neighbors complain of 'rampant prostitution,' illegal activity on San Francisco's Capp Street
