New York weighs ban on condoms as evidence in prostitution
Sex workers seek a law to bar police from confiscating condoms for evidence in prostitution, arguing fear of harassment reduces condom use.

State Senator Velmanette Montgomery aims for committee review in the Senate. Assembly has passed similar measure.
