[QUOTE=HoDough;7226504]It's just a misdemeanor in many states including CA. They usually just let you go after giving you a citation. In CA, they also could impound your car. But, you're right, regardless. The less you talk, the better because you don't want to dig a deeper hole and possibly get the misdemeanor upgraded to something worse. In Pomona, they also have the practice of shaming clients by posting their names and the cities they live in. If you Google "Pomona prostitution stings", it goes back more than a decade. Their names are forever on the Internet for their great grand kids to see.[/QUOTE]Most cities will publish your pic and full name for everyone to see nowdays.

[QUOTE=CumSquat;7226410]That is extraordinarily bad luck given the total number of mongers and the amount they busted.

I had a trial in Van Nuys criminal for a Kamp within Van Nuys PD jurisdiction; I guess they have different standards than WeHo and Ktown. A cop went in and said the Kgirl tried to give him a handy, which is like nothing in the Kamp world. After trial the jury found mamasan not guilty because the jury said it's bogus sex law and the cops should be out there tracking down criminals. Basically jury nullification. Might be a West Coast thing.[/QUOTE]But really. Imagine being a cop and going in a AMP and busting some lady trying to make a living by giving handies to degenerates like us. Insane waste of time.

So, in their minds they are doing them a favor by setting them free from their slave masters, even though some of these girls are making a lot more money than cops.

Pretty sure, this enforcement is funded by both State and Federal grants. If no 'victims' are found, then funding gets cut or eliminated.

It works for LE and it works for the ladies. A soft landing of sorts forth.

Speaking of Federal enforcement. I don't recall seeing any stories about human trafficking month this January.

The only reason it isn't is because a bunch of fucks who believe in a magical sky man thinks it's too naughty.

So don't blame us for it. There's a lot of people that believe prostitution is wrong and immoral. Most folks all over the world do. Has nothing to do with only people that believe in God. There are folks that don't believe that think it's wrong as well. And it would not "look good" and be politically correct for politicians in the US to support legalization. So don't make a general statement like that.

Then, there's the Figueroa one where the FBI teamed up with the cops. Also the Ventura one where they send undercover agents to 26 spas.

[QUOTE=PlayerN818;7248032]I mean, yay for you, but "morality" laws lie squarely in your camp. Try buying booze near a church.[/QUOTE]Sorry man but like I said it's not 100% on our camp. And whose talking about liquor stores? There's alot of openminded folks that are religious in some way. Ok with legalization of prostitution. I even voted for legalization of selling weed. Just don't like dumbfucks smoking it while driving. Because it's the same as DUI. I'm not a bible thumper. You'd be surprised how many folks are ok with pros.

I read that the old man who put one his many identities on leases, also fraudulently claimed $600 k in covid relief funds. If the running a brothel wasn't enough, felony level of fraud also brings heat when it's not preferred.

I haven't seen anything said about this. Was it an org or just a chain of rub and tug joints?

Anyways, stay safe out there lads.
