One thing I'd like to point out is how feminine a lot of those pimps are. Not only that appeared in this doc but pimps in general these days are very fem in my experience with them. The dude is bragging about getting hand and feet pedicures. I suspect a lot of them are on the DL.

Wow, Irish is looking bad. Not surprised, though. She looked alright for a while, was a good date, haven't seen her around for a long time. Definitely gone downhill in that time.

Some guy on youtube made a little documentary about Aurora Avenue. I guess the full version is on his patreon. I don't know the full length. I saw one of the pimps that I follow on IG had put his clip of him in this docu up on it where they talked to him and followed him around etc.

Posts: 354Seattle Opinion Article Regarding The Charging of Johns in Seattle
This article is from February but I thought it was an interesting read. It details the kind of alleged johns who are usually busted in john stings along Aurora - men who don't speak good English as well as minorities. Out of all the charges of Sexual Exploitation filed against alleged johns in Seattle last year, only one fought the city and he won his case. The vast majority of alleged johns plea-out (community service, john school, probation) because the case will be dropped and it can be expensive to fight the charge. The article mentions that SPD does not record their stings so often it's the cop's word against the alleged john's word. Last year I had a consultation with a lawyer and he told me the same thing. Apparently it's difficult to prove, but the city has to prove that the john actually committed the crime and without a recording that can be interesting. According to this article, the city appears to be trying to convince a jury that all sex workers are trafficked and are therefore victims and as a result all johns should be arrested and charged. What's odd to me is that the city tries so hard to entangle ALL sex work with trafficking, yet the city isn't out on AA asking the SWs if they need help or resources. They leave that to churches and volunteers. Ask any SW out there if a city employee has approached her and asked if she needs help and she'll tell you that nobody from the city has ever talked to her at all. The city talks a big game, but ultimately in the end does nothing to help anyone. What's also interesting to me is that the city repealed the prostitution loitering laws in 2020 because they found that minorities and under-served populations were getting caught-up in the laws. Interesting that the same logic doesn't seem to apply to alleged johns. It's my view that citizens need to start talking to the city council and attending meetings. They've got everything all wrong and have been the main instigators in creating the current situation out on Aurora.

Some interesting points form the article -.
"Because undercover officers don't wear video cameras or carry recording devices and don't collect money from the men they target, the outcome of prostitution cases depends almost entirely on whose story the jury believes. Without tangible evidence proving that James was guilty, the prosecutors tried to tell a story about a hypothetical woman forced into sex work by circumstances beyond her control. ".
"I don't think I've ever had a white, English-speaking client charged with this," Northwest Defenders attorney Virginia Branham, the supervising attorney on James' case, said. "Often, with clients who are charged with (sexual exploitation), English is not their first language and they often have immigration issues, so this charge is not a good one for a client of be convicted of. ".
"In about eight years of representing defendants in such cases, Branham countered, Ive never seen a case where there has been any link to sex trafficking.
"Because solicitation stings are based entirely on an officer's claim that she made a verbal agreement to exchange sex for money, a defendant's ability to understand what an officer is saying could be a strong argument against a guilty verdict if any of those cases ever went to trial. ".
"Criminalizing sex work is broadly unpopular; during jury selection, echoing national sentiment, 23 of 25 potential jurors said they didn't think sex work should be illegal. But the city remains deeply invested in penalizing the practice and pouring resources into prosecuting men who patronize sex workers. ".
"To understand why the city puts so much energy, effort, and money into chasing down men for a low-level misdemeanor that most people think should be legal, it's helpful to know that under city law and SPD policy, sex work is virtually synonymous with human trafficking. One police source described women being sent around the country on a circuit, which police arguep revents women from developing ties or getting help. ".

Posts: 166Lmao you'd have to be retarded to believe the cia follows the law in any way shape or form.
They were caught spying on senate intelligence committee a decade ago because they were investigating the cia's abuses in the war on terror.

Posts: 55I believe honeypots are against US law and the CIA no longer uses the technique. The art of espionage has been described as the art of following your national law while violating other countries laws so it's likely that Chinese and the Russian still use them.
