Great article on Backpage takedown
The attached just ran in Wired magazine. Interesting info on the backpage fiasco. A nice line buried in the article agrees that Fosta / Sesta is unconstitutional but who will challenge!

If anything, the courts will look at all the sites popping up in foreign countries that quickly replace the takedowns in the USA And just figure it's a stupid law to begin with that doesn't really accomplish anything.
The best way to fight bonafide sex trafficking is good ole detective work, like the old days. Taking down websites seems like lazy law enforcement, and ineffective at that.

Its interesting about your assumption
[QUOTE=WhereDreamsGo;4348591]No undercover, just observe, follow, arrest.[/QUOTE]Its interesting that the article did not allude to whether it was a uniformed or undercover officer. I have seen UC cars follow someone and call for a marked cruiser to stop a vehicle. If you observe (window shop for awhile) you will notice the UC cars. In the past I have noted the ones I have seen in action, not just speculate about. Be safe.
