Charlie Beck?
Curious what Walter's thoughts are on him since he's our LAPD insider?
I'd like to hear everyone else's opinions though.
Anybody think he'll be cracking down on prostitution?
The news is reporting that he's a "cop's cop." (whatever that means?)

He's going to put video cameras on every corner of every street.
He'll turn foot soldiers into video monitors. Keep them employes safe.
LAPD by and large thinks they have the streetwalker problem under control. Their new target is going to be illegal drugs, in particular for the time being, they will be working with the DA on cracking down on the pot dispensaries.
[QUOTE=Kändi]He's going to put video cameras on every corner of every street.[/QUOTE]That won't happen. The city is so broke that they can't even repair cameras unless they are considered critical.
I like the idea of going after drugs rather than sw. Maybe one of these days they could go after gangs even harder.

This is why I very rarely park my vehicle at or near an establishment. Besides, walking is good for you.

Well, remember, this is only one of many many datapoints used to track you.
Go to the ATM for play money? You're on video. Drive to the AMP? They may observe that from a license scan. Leave DNA somewhere? Best hope no crime is committed because they collect it and catalog it. Oh, and now it's legal to grab your DNA if you're a suspect.
The only protection we have is that there aren't enough people surveilling you. Yet.
And to erase all doubt that LEO knows where you are.

D2[/QUOTE]And how exactly does collecting all this help LE curb crime? Most criminals that are using vehicles to commit their crimes have an important first step, which is to steal a license plate if they are using their own vehicle (most probably just steal a vehicle) , so probably your license plate only comes up in connection with a "crime", if someone had stolen your license plate or your vehicle. They have no need to collect let alone keep the amount of information that they are keeping.
This is going to sound really weird, but who can tell me about something crazy or fun or whatever that is "underground" or "behind closed doors" kind of thing. I honestly don't care what it is for now, I just want to try something crazy! So (as you can read in my past posts) I'm new to LA and thought this might be a good place to start looking to find something new. PM me if its better.
Thanks, and happy hunting

Thanks, and happy hunting[/QUOTE]There's this event called Burning Man. Hard to get tickets to now as it happens in September. A hardcore camp-out on the playa for one week. It's on a dried up lake bed that appears in the Summertime. Free spirits running around and celebrating life, love, debauchery, and tom-foulery. Hard to get tickets to now.
If you can't find it. There are still LA burner parties. Lots of sexy girls. I don't shit where I sleep, as the saying goes, though you'll find lots of free love. And maybe some sex. Worth looking into. Might even change you're perspective on life.
Our tax money in action!
Sigh.
I'm paying 40% of my income for this?

BIG NATIONWIDE STING, last week!
So, here's the thing. The majority of the young girls with so-called "bookers" are trafficked ie kidnapped, coerced other otherwise forced into prostitution.
I'm all for full grown adults deciding on their own doing whatever they want as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights. Fucking kids is a dick move. So, if you're fucking kids.
That makes YOU an asshole. There are plenty enough grown women out there doing this that you don't need to fuck kids.
Personally, I avoid bookers now, because I know there's a good chance they're hooked into trafficking rings. Same thing with pimps for that matter.
So, be safe, and smart. And don't fuck kids!

News radio for Los Angeles. There is a proposal before the city council to issue "John Letters" to people whose vehicle "are noted driving in areas known for prostitution" that would basically say you vehicle has been noted.
I was up in L. A. For work today and did a little digging.
Undercover officers and "ancillary personnel" will be deployed to areas known to have prostitution issues. The proposal does ot identify the "ancillary personnel" directly, but.
I have a friend in the media, and she said it could be any city employee, a police explorer, a person attending the academy, even Senior Volunteers. Some would be in vehicles (not necessarily patrol cars) with plate readers some areas will use existing pole mounted cameras and red light cameras. If you go past a targeted area more than a specified number of times (the number hasn't been determined) you will automatically be sent a letter.
Transportation vehicle (buses limos and taxis) will not get the letter.

On a different note, I got stopped coming home from the gym last week, and was given a paper ticket, that was a warning, not a fix-it ticket, for having a tail light out on my car. I took it to my mechanic the next day and verified that all of them were functioning properly. Could such a nuisance ticket that carries no fine nor obligation for repair be a means of tracking vehicles?
Obviously the $124,000 a year wasnt enough. He wanted to get poon too! Probably from streetwalkers picked up on Fig.

Saw this announcement today. Not sure if it's official. Will be interesting to see where the pros and amateurs (and 99% bots) go next.
