They are working on a federal law to target the operators of websites that facilitate sex crimes, prostitution, etc. Links to an article and video are below. The video is about 1:50 minutes.

Yeah, the link worked. Poor bastard. His life just got kicked in the nuts. So some self-righteous douchebag can put another notch on the side of his ticket book.

It really doesn't say which website they used and the paper usually will. We usually assume BP, but this could be a CL sting.

Talk about going for the low hanging fruit. I mean, I've got many vices and see things from all sides. There are worse out there. This man works, and has probably lived an OK life. A misdemeanor charge will ruin that. I'm kinda sending a shot not-so-over the bow at you LE lurkers. Why'all seem to take the easy route and ruin lives for what every one of you has done yourself. Go watch another episode of The Wire and ease up. Peace MD.

DDN article on john getting caught with pants down:

Have fun, but be careful!

From location, I suspect it was either Angie, Angel, Uthona (ya I've noticed she's back in the area) or Crystal.

It's little too far north for Jessie.

G2.

6 arrests Tuesday during sting. 2 men 4 women.

Snob.

Listed arrest address as the Riverside PD so keeping it under wraps. Ladies aren't familiar to me but I am not a street person. Looking through the mugshots you can't help but think this city is in in deep shit between drugs, lack of decent careers for lower class and just shitty family lives in general. The two sad sacks arrested are fucked and to no good purpose, these girls will do anything for drugs, if you take away easy money from Johns they'll be burgulars, thieves and cut throats to get it. Address the fucking drug problem if you want to help them. I've always been a personal responsibility person with drugs, but the more damage I see I may be becoming more of a China solution guy.execute every fucking dealer you find. Draconian but something has to give.

Useless rant I know.

Moto.

I should keep my mouth shut, but.

Drugs are bad. The drug trade creates unimaginable wealth all up the distribution chain. For every person "captured" 100 more are ready to step in at every level to take their place. For each drug bust made 100 (more like a 1000) go undetected.

The war on drugs, look at the statistics, has done nothing to reduce usage. It has only made a lot of guys rich (er) both bad guys (dealers) and good guys (cops). The latter through the monies thrown at them by the feds and the value of the confiscated funds and properties. Add to that the costs we pay in the judicial system and to support the prison system and you have to say, WTF.

This "war" is like any other. It doesn't fix anything, it just makes some richer and more powerful at the cost of many innocents. Dealers and cops get richer, hos and johns get squashed.

Drugs are bad. Fighting it doesn't fix it. Never has. Never will.

This is both my two cents worth as well as my two senses worth.

Totally agree if you replaces the term War with "police action". The last declared War was WWII and the we succeeded in ridding the World of an unimaginable evil. Since then we have only been involved in "police actions" with no clear objectives. There never was a true War on drugs, just a half assed hunt and peck action that keeps the police and federal agents employed with no clear results. WWII was an all out relentless assault on the enemy with no mercy. These dope boys get arrested and spend a few months to maybe a year and they go right back at it. The police get payed, the dealers get payed so it suits their purposes. Its getting to the point where dopers and prostitutes can make more than professionals for those who are skilled. The connection between drugs and prostitution is one of the things that justifies all the attention LEO pays to the escort energy. That and the human trafficking aspect. I remember a time when LEO primarily focused on SW. Not anymore, they focus on the whole industry because drugs and prostitution are considered tied at the hip in the public conscientious.

Peace,
