Viewed the live court hearings this past week, and both men participated by telephone (one with a Spanish interpreter). They were likely advised by their attorneys that they had no chance of winning an acquittal at trial because they confessed to a sex for money deal to intimidating cops in the "separate & interrogate" operation conducted that night.

They have 6 months to attend this one-sided brainwashing class Portland has been running since the early '10's, and one man at least was threatened with 5 days in jail if he fails to comply. 5 more cases from Jul 13 are still proceeding through the court system, and I'll report if there are any different outcomes or if anything else can be gleaned about police strategy that night.

My point was that these stings aren't specifically because a possible serial killer. These have been happening long before that.

I know there is a human tracking division. Like all of the special task forces or divisions the cops on them are not 100% dedicated to that. I know PPB and Mult Co cops. They are all on multiple special units. And yes, the frequently do these on OT. You hit it on the head when you said "the expect arrests". The have to have them in order to justify the funding. When you read the stories it's very rare that someone is ever charged with trafficking. And it's rare that someone was rescued from trafficking. It normal hooker / John interactions that have been happening since Portland was a place.

You're point is and intent are well taken and wise, regardless of why there are stings, they do exist. If you play in that area be very careful. Read the streetwalker forum here. Think with the big head. Be discrete. If you do get scooped up, shut up. Nothing you say will help you.

I do agree with you that these stings for the vast majority are for regular hooker / John interactions, and that really, they don't stop actual trafficking at all. It's like everything with the government in Portland, it's all for show with zero actual effectiveness.

Well that was an odd response. I'm not the enemy, I'm just telling letting people know that they are increasing stings.

My source? I know several cops and federal agents, as well as people in the city and three counties. The six womens' bodies that were found, supposedly, are the tip of the iceberg. Many, many more 20-25 year old women are missing.

First of all, women who ARE trafficked aren't going to just admit to it and get help by some cop coming up to them. These women are involved with some very evil mf'rs and if they cross them, they could easily end up off the side of the river just like those other women did. It's real, and it's happening. Just because you partake in the hobby doesn't mean you're not involved in a game that doesn't have some messed up things happening around it.

Secondly, they don't grab some random cops, pay them OT, and have them bust hobbyists. PPB has a dedicated human trafficking division, although it is only a few cops doing it. They expect arrests, so they arrest people. They are increasing stings because there is concern, especially with the significant emergence of cartel involvement in Portland, that there is a whole swath of vulnerable women being victimized.

Thirdly. Obviously since I partake in this hobby, I have zero judgement about people partaking in it. If you haven't noticed, there have been increased stings. I had some important information to relay regarding it, so I thought I would. My post was 100% about keeping hobbyists from having the worst day of their lives. It had zero to do with judging hobbyists or making anyone wrong.

That is cute that you think trafficking is a southern border issue.

I didn't say it was the only issue. My point is focusing on some guys trying to get a BJ on 82nd in Portland isn't getting to the root of the problem.

[TiedYed2112]

If they really gave a shit about trafficking, they'd stop it tag the southern boarder.

Why would they need to do stings. Just walk up to the women and offer help and get info from them. What good does the sting do?

This is same as it ever was. They get federal money to spend on "human trafficking". They pay some cops OT to do the stings. They give 10-15 guys misdemeanor tickets for soliciting. They alert the media they did a "human trafficking" sting. The media gobbles it up. Also since the lawlessness in Portland the ladies have become more brazen and the pickups more open. I'm sure they are getting some complaints from the neighbors. This isn't new with the recent murders. It's been happening for a long time.

Im not a street guy. Ive never actually done it. Too risky for me for many reasons.

In case you didn't know, the reason that there has been increased stings in Portland is because of the six girls' bodies that were found earlier this year. From what I've heard, they were all being trafficked or pimped. With the elevated Mexican gang presence + the huge amounts of homeless in the area, there is no shortage of young, desperate women out there who are being taken advantage of by some truly evil a-holes.

I'm currently not seeing any provider I haven't seen before and definitely not driving the blade for it, although that was never my thing anyway. What I'm saying is be extra careful out there.

"Trafficked individuals" is suck a loaded term for the reporter to use. That isn't who we're looking for, though some of them might be mixed in with our search results. What we're searching for are ladies who spread their legs for a paycheck. Still technically on the wrong side of the tracks, but we're not that depraved a group.

He'll probably get the commercial sexual solicitation to stick, but I'm hoping he can find a technicality to wiggle out of the sex with a minor charge. Technically, "officer posing as a child" does count the same as the actual child, and it will still get you on the pedo list. Personally, I consider this whole thing as entrapment, as the guy looking for love doesn't necessarily look at the given age of the "person" who's posting, just if the pic and the price piques his interest. Also, the age of the individual pictured isn't always apparent as being a minor (for example, Keira Knightly from Pirates of the Caribbean was underage, so anyone spanking to that is technically a pedo). I can also see the cops be unscrupulous in a planted-evidence sort of way; for example, they did not disclose an age in the ad, and only upon meeting and paying they pull out a fake I'd saying they're still in high school, then reveal they're actually cops arresting you for soliciting a minor.

If that ruling is true, though, then a child that's seriously posing as an adult should be treated as an adult, same as the adult posing as a child is treated as a child..

I guess I'm wondering, "If they are posing as a minor, but aren't a Minor, then the guy wasn't really soliciting a Minor. Unless he was part of a conversation where she mentioned or represented herself as one?

On TV said officers posed as "trafficked individuals". Zero arrests for trafficking. As usual.

Edit - I guess one guy thought the decoy was 15?

For the record, I'm not condoning sleeping with kids, just pointing out the double-standard they're trying to impose.

Glock 19 x. Excellent choice. Chuckled at the weird ass leather holster. The one time I wore a holstered gun to a visit with a provider, she kind of cracked up after I said "ok, so I am not a cop. ". LOL.
