Fig / Western Weeknd Sweep
[QUOTE=Miggles Mcgee;1203150]Was driving from Santa Monica to SD Thursday night / Friday morning for the holiday weekend and decided to cruise the tracks. Sunset was dead. Decided to try Western and Fig. Both had a few scattered girls, but none worth noting and not very many. What I did notice was LE everywhere (about 4 on western and 6 on fig). There were also about 4 squad cars and an unmarked in the valero parking lot on western / vernon. I'm assuming they were doing a little operation clean sweep because they knew girls would be coming from out of town to work the ho-liday. Thought I'd give you all the heads up on the LE presence. I'm just hoping it doesn't continue all weekend. Girls need to get paid. And mongers need to monger. I did end up getting a nice LSW on Harbor when I made it down there around 5:30am. Seemed like I should have gone straight there. It definitely had more action.[/QUOTE]Arrived in town Fri am, and there was definitely a sweep. Late fri night into Sat morning as well. Western and Fig were very hot with LE, so I took a drive down to LBB and at around Myrrh, there was a large mobile command center set up. I saw them photographing 2 guys, and there were also flatbeds there loading up cars. When I circled and headed back north. 2 undercover cars with 4 guys each, paced me all the way up to Imperial and then over to Fig. I waited an hour or so and tried Fig again, and in the 60's there were 2 late 30's white women that had to be decoys. They were dressed in shiny spandex pants and ruffle blouses. They kind of looked rediculous. Hope noone got caught up in that mess.
Funny, but even with the command center set up, I counted about 15 girls out from highway down to Allondra. There was a tall young BSW near Allondra that was gorgeous, but I wasn't taking chances. I'll make a general post in the LA Streetwalkers thread.
They can tow your car for that?
[QUOTE=Luvdahos;1228288]Yesterday morning on Fig at 91St they did a crosswalk sting where they were busting people for not stopping for people in the crosswalk. The decoy was a middle age LE with a typical walrus type mustache wearing shorts, t-shirt and baseball cap only thing was he was white and finding a white person in that neighborhood is odd in itself. On both sides of the street there were tow trucks lined up as well as about 15 motorcycle officers. This started at about 7AM and lasted till noon. Later in the sting they used a local black guy who seemed to be enjoying walking back and forth. Needless to say they were towing lots of cars and hooking people up. I'm sure this won't be the first on Fig and won't be the last so keep your eyes open.[/QUOTE]They can tow your car for that? It's a vehicular moving violation, but I can't find anywhere in the vehicle code where they are allowed to confiscate your vehicle for it! Its a cite and go violation just like blowing through a redlight or a speeding ticket.
Towing? What has fig become?
Now peeps are getting towed? I have to agree Marlowe, the people getting towed must of had some violation before getting that ticket as well, like you said suspended license, no registration, even possible warrants they had outstanding. You'd be surprised how many people drive around like this! Any SW's out at least?
