There are other provisions in the Ordinance which may possibly be challenged under the BOR Ordinance, such as section 137(2) by which a man living with a prostitute is presumed to be living on the earnings of prostitution unless he proves to the contrary. Given the directive that changes to the existing laws in the light of the BOR Ordinance should be minimized, these provisions should be left unchanged. As for provisions in the Ordinance which concern the powers and duties of police officers, we intend to take into account the outcome of a review currently being undertaken by the Law Reform Commission (LRC) on police powers of search and arrest before recommending changes to the relevant sections. The LRC is expected to consider a draft report on the subject this month.
