If I Am Charged with Lewd Conduct, Soliciting ad Engaging in Prostitution, Do I Need a Criminal Defense Attorney to Protect Me? Can I Lose My Driver’s License?
Under California law, the court may impose a suspension of driving privileges on individuals convicted of lewd conduct, or soliciting or engaging in prostitution in California. A conviction allows the court to impose a 30 day license suspension, or in lieu of the 30 day suspension, the court may impose a restriction of up to 180 days allowing driving only to and from work or school.
As of 2009, California Penal Code Section 647 allows courts to suspend the license of a person who is convicted of prostitution or soliciting prostitution when committed within 1000 feet of a private residence, and with the use of a vehicle. If you are required to drive to and from work or school, it is imperative that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney.
