[QUOTE]Sheriff Jon Hayden said police conduct such operations when talk about prostitution starts picking up in the community. A sting in 2012 brought in 14 arrests.[/QUOTE]Funny how "talk about prostitution starts picking up" during election years, isn't it?
Let's use some logic and common sense
[QUOTE=RoadWarrior615;2229157]I know you don't want to hear this but a crime is a crime. Non violent crimes turns in to major crimes at some point. There are tons of those crimes ha-penning everyday here and some of them turn violent. You got SW's robbing and harming Johns. SW needs drugs. They go find drugs from dope dealer. Now if she never met you or that John she wouldn't have money to go find a dope dealer and dope dealer will say it is not profitable hear and move somewhere else.
All crime have step ladders and command. Every crime trickles up or down. Don't think just because your feed a drug addicted SW some $$ that it is totally fine because it is not. I been in the streets heavy during my years. I seen alot of unreported SW crime go on. I seen the dope dealers move in to neighborhoods and fight for territory for the SW $$ , I seen it all.
Also you can't even get mad at Metro, they took their orders from the captain who get his orders from the Mayor. So the Mayor is who you should be made at not metro. Its like if you were working at mcdonalds and a customer get angry at you because a cheeseburger is $2, they need to get mad at the ceo / or owner of mcdonalds.
Alot of you come from your nice comfortable suburb, or rural area to get SW time to time, give them money and then go back home to your rural area or suburb and hide out until you need the fix again, so your like its ok nothing wrong with it but you don't see the gritty side of it. The behind the scenes.
And its proven alot of men are human trafficking young women, why because johns are looking for SW's. If police stop johns then SW's will leave and no human trafficking here.[/QUOTE]Technically speeding is braking the law and therefore a crime. So is murder. How many people speed vs people who murder? When the police want to fill its coffers with money targeting the 99% of the normal citizens is going to net them far more money than targeting the 1% of criminals. How much money is the city going to make arresting and jailing 1 human trafficker vs setting a speed trap in brentwood for a day?
A question of perspective
[QUOTE=RumRunner;2249646]Or does this guy sound like a cop to you guys too?[/QUOTE]RoadWarrior615's older posts say he has relatives on the force. Sounds like he's conflicted about his time as a street monger.
It's perfectly realistic to be concerned about all the negatives of the street scene. Most of us are lucky enough to live some distance from the action; I think all of us would share a NIMBY sentiment to some degree.

[QUOTE=RumRunner;2250974]Yea policing for profit seems to be the norm now days. Those unmarked SUVs on the interstate are not after illegal drugs they are after the cash. Sure they stop a load of dope from time to time for the headline but it's the cash they are after.[/QUOTE]Ongoing Police For Profit stories:
