[QUOTE=Bbinsider;4173703]The problem is they can't get their families, jobs, or reputation back. They were being discreet not hurting anybody. DeKalb was basing those arrests on "trafficking", but there wasn't anything even close to "trafficking" going on. Nobody was saved and many ended being hurt. Absolutely no point.[/QUOTE]Exactly. Ruined jobs, families, marriages. All of this was just disgustingly and hypocritically stupid and TOTALLY unnecessary. I sincerely hope that this one bites you, LE, in the ass big time. We know you read these things, LE. This was a moronic and ridiculous grandstand on your part. Do your damn job and fight the murderous thugs running wild on the streets of every major city and town in this country. We don't need your "protection" from 90lb Asian women, got it? We are on to your bullshit, we know what the deal is, and you let all of us down big time when you pull stupid shit like this. Now get your asses out there and go after the real criminals, goddamit.

[QUOTE=TrillBoi69;4173915]Kraft was either the target to begin with or they are using his name to make this a high profile case. It was an 8 month investigation. If abuse / human trafficking were obvious they would have busted the place within the first week. Law Enforcement has gone on record saying that it's hard to charge someone with human trafficking. Why? Does it ever occur to anyone that maybe Law Enforcement might be in on the trafficking? You can't tell me that's not a possibility. The local police probably receive free / discounted services from that very place.[/QUOTE]Considering the proximity to Trump properties and the sheer dollar value of the targets in the area one could easily surmise this investigation dragged on until LE was comfortable with the size of the fish on the line.

One of the main reasons for this type of enforcement is because it's an easy investigation and arrest for local LE. They do it for stat padding. They make quick, easy arrests that are plentiful in numbers. Then the department can spin this information anyway they feel is needed at the time. It reflects well for the police chief and local politicians when they want votes. It looks good on their books when they make so many arrests. Average non-critical thinking citizens think that LE is putting maximum effort into protecting their jurisdictions. They give their local citizens bullshit reasons why their investigation was so awesome and how it cleaned up the streets. If there was truly human trafficking going on in an AMP, wouldn't you think ICE or the FBI would be heading the LE involvement? There would be laws in place so that federal LE could simply walk in and check every person on the premises citizenship status and put it under the patriot act or some other frivolous "catch all" statute. Nope, they don't care 99.9% of the time because they are busy dealing with real crime.

It's always local LE or Sheriff's Dept. Since they can't find any real crime there, they charge them with not operating without the proper licenses (usual charge) or providing a sexual act / handy. The more crime in the city where a man's favorite establishment is located, the less likely they are to be harassed by LE. Why? Because their too busy dealing with other shit. Less likely? City of Atlanta. More likely? Brookhaven. Another reason is married women in the community persistently complaining to LE about it being in their city. Politics man. It sucks. Just my 2 cents.

Is there a reasonable expectation of privacy when mongering and more specifically mongering in a private residence / location?? My hunch is privacy is a general expectation for sexual acts and that seems to be the case for Kraft as there was no audio to suggest solicitation if video surveillance is thrown out.

Sneak and peek warrants are not currently allowed under Georgia law, Flake noted.

Sneak and peek was established under the Patriot Act, has nothing to do with terrorism, can even be applied to misdemeanors.

I also banned this user, you decided to retire your old one, I'm not letting you start a new one with an argument, especially one that's false.

As many of us said to begin with, there was likely no human trafficking involved with those Florida arrests. LE tends to lie quite often. When they shoot unarmed people in the back and when they arrest adults for consensual sexual activity.

Maybe he can get off without any fines or jail time, although of course his reputation is already sullied.

[QUOTE=IronHorseman2;4175232]Now I'm totally beside myself. I thought all these guys with badges were saints!![/QUOTE]Have you ever seen that comedy bit from Bill Engvall on how he got out of jury duty? When he was being questioned by one of the attorneys, he said, "I don't think cops ever lie. " It worked and that's exactly what I'm going to say if I ever get summoned for jury duty again.

IMHO one could agree when you have that kind of money and influence, you're essentially impervious to the law because you have access to the best defense (and have influence in media).

-in 90 days the collective public will move on to the next outage. He'll make a statement, start a non-profit for 'victims' etc.

[QUOTE=Dudeatl;4188854][URL]https://patch.com/georgia/atlanta/not-sale-massage-parlors-flourish-georgia[/URL][/QUOTE]I am one that actually goes to get a legitimate massage for my bad back. Very soon these media are driving even the legitimate ones out of business. If you have evidences, arrest them. Don't make a blanket statement like this. The media sucks. Why don't they take a picture of American Spas?
