Tax dollars at its best used
[QUOTE=IMongerStan;2648550]Took a drive on the Ave last night at around 8:30 pm, did two loops. I saw very little LEO (only one unmarked vehicle and one cruiser parked), and I saw no women other than an older (maybe mid-40's) heavier set black woman strolling near Adams square, in a big light blue winter coat. She was giving the eye real hard to passers by, but I had no interest there.
In other news, I came across three posts on the internet about prostitution on Dot Ave. (links below).
The first is a news report from a Dorchester meeting where City Councillor Frank Baker mentioned / indicated how prostitution on the Ave has been whittled down and is just on a desolate stretch there.
The second article reports on a different meeting as a result of a recent sexual assault that occurred right in the middle of the Ave by the Robert E. Ryan playground and how residents raised concerns about prostitution. I have been told by girls that residents are waiting in their windows at all hours of day and night for girls to stroll by and then they call the cops (Finally, the third link is to a tweet by the reporter on these articles about how "Police are upping prostitution crackdowns along Dot Ave. Focus on holding johns accountable, getting women help. " Accountable for what! I've heard this is the case as well, about how cops are now trying to get the girls into programs and then really aggressively go after johns. The first part is commendable in my opinion, though talk to the girls and they will tell you they have no interest in rehab programs (that's actually not entirely true -when they are dope sick, and especially during winter, they often want into a good program).
So the police will be forced to put ever more resources into chasing down this victim-less crime of (somebody else's) morals, while muggers and thieves and criminals and crooks run around loose. Awesome!! That's real smart, real good use of my tax dollars and our scarce resources. #infuriating.

[URL]https://twitter.com/JennDotSmith[/URL][/QUOTE]I have not seen any nice SWs lately. Just a disappointment and LEOs are taking the easy way out on their jobs. If they are called to investigate a shooting, they will never show up. If there was a blonde SW trolling on DOT Ave. , 5 cruisers will be there in less than 3 minutes and do a search and Google eye on this SW. Fact of the matter is LEOs are just peeps that has no authority at home and decide to come out to the public and have peeps listen to their BS and follow it. Oh yea, Welcome to America newbies!
Politics of Police and Community in America. A Sad Reality
Yes Mr. Bao, I agree. The allocation of tax dollars and related resources (police manpower etc) is ultimately political. If you consider the optics of it, moral crusades like this make for good headlines and therefore good politics for the politicians associated with those headlines. But it is not necessarily what's best, or right.
Real police work, however, which I am sure our police force is absolutely capable of, requires time, really years, to pay off. It requires diligence and delving deep into the street via relationships and the development of an army of confidential informants, undercovers, lots of daily blocking & tackling, chopping proverbial wood, and it requires lots of watching and waiting while being in the right place at the right time to catch people in the act -and note you need the intel based on all the former in order to be able to pull off the later. And you really need to start with the smallest things, minor crimes, to establish a zero tolerance for crime policy and develop thicker case files for budding criminals. Obviously I am a proponent of the so-called Broken Window theory of law enforcement.
Anyways, the above takes a strategic vision and it takes time to roll out and really enforce. And so the politicians are unwilling to wait that amount of time for a payoff in the headlines, so they would rather generate cheap sound bites for victim-less crimes of morals as opposed to real crimes.
Yes it's a rant, but it's something that bothers me deeply. We are constantly double-crossed and betrayed by our politicians who take the easy way out as opposed to take the longer hard road, however better in the long run for the constituency that may be.
One thing I would take issue with though is your characterization of the police force. Although a number of them play kinda dirty in their effort to catch johns, they also are between the politicians screaming at them to do more and the reality of the streets, where you have sometimes desperate girls trying to just make a few bucks discreetly, and otherwise normal upstanding every day folks, johns, who happen to discreetly pick up the girls. I don't know that it is necessarily in ta given police officer's nature to be out busting balls and cracking skulls over all this. But nonetheless.
That's just my take on things.
Stan.

What's the best time to find WSW? And where. ?
Hello everyone, I'm not from this area but so far I have been looking for some for some action.
I have been by Blue hill avenue, one end to the other, I only saw 2 BSW not good at all.
Yesterday Sunday I went to Andrew square, and it was the same, I'm looking for a WSW 20-35. Any Intel as where should I look at. Thanks.
