I only wish that the mama of the place that had the UC in his state of undress, would send a photo to all the other AMP's so that they could post a glossy of him at the door.

Absolutely no entry for him.

If the Police get stupid about it, then show his photo in all his glory on the internet. An end of a career in undercover.

The mama's need to learn that if the Police want to gain entry for arrests, they need to tell the Police to bring a warrant.

Fight back, don't be bullied.

The best part is watching the undercover video of the police officer stripping down naked in the hallway.

Sometimes I wonder if the problem with Hawaii is that it's so isolated from everywhere else in the world. Sometimes I wonder if it's the people -- if you're raised in Hawaii, you're supposed to get along and not make waves. Sometimes I wonder if it's because it's some sort of subservience ingrained in the culture, as most of the immigrants who settled in Hawaii came there to work on a plantation as contract labor for a very powerful, but very tiny oligarchy.

Nothing really changes in Hawaii. A few people on top and a lot of people on the bottom who don't even say a word when they're being crapped on. They complain among each other, but they never do anything. They keep their mouth shut and try to convince themselves how "lucky" they are to live in Hawaii, where everything's more expensive, everything's more corrupt and everything's rigged.

It's not going to happen because the Demoncrats have swindled the process for over 40 years in power (Read Land & Power book by George Cooper) Crooks like former HPD chief will make sure HPD white collar crime unit does not investigate such cases!

At least the cops didn't shoot anybody.

"Human trafficking" as it applies to sex work is a myth. It's an agenda anti-sex feminists like Karhtryn Xian want to further because it gives them grant money, a "crime" that police want to further because it means federal funding and high profile / low risk busts and a moral cause religious types can rally around because it goes against their book full of superstitions and legends.

Kudos to Katie Hail-Jares for trying to offer a realistic take on sex work — though it's a shame no one will pay attention to it because it doesn't fit into the accepted narrative of the feminists, cops and churches.

The popular conceit, that sex workers are lured into the industry as XXXXXXXX and then forced to continue sleeping with men until they finally escape, is simply not borne out by empirical evidence. And that means Kaneshiro's tactics are ultimately not helpful but harmful.

Guess who wasted taxpayer money on busts that not even the prosecutor wanted to take to trial?

That's right — the HPD!

Didn't someone a while back so HPD does these public shows to demonstrate to the public that they are "tough on crime. " Additionally they have to show some measurable means (metrics) that they are doing something to prevent prostitution and human trafficking. Busting pimps are too hard. Arresting working prostitutes ensures that their budget doesn't get cut and any federal human trafficking grant funds continue to come their way.

These periodic raids will happen again, as soon as too many people complain about prostitution activities near them or HPD has to show measurable improvements. Increases arrests are good statistics.

(Here's an interesting perspective from a female, Katie Hail-Jares, of the Sex Workers Outreach Project.)

Prosecutor, Police Continue to Push an Ineffective Policy to Punish Prostitutes.

Authorities are trying to coerce information out of women who in most cases don't have pimps or traffickers.

Last week in a letter to Gov. David Ige, Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Keith Kaneshiro wrote that his office was dedicated to "maintain(ing) its focus on prosecuting those who profit from prostitution and has worked with prostituted persons to accomplish this goal".

Unfortunately, Kaneshiro's words do not reflect the reality of his office's action. In January, Kaneshiro boasted about how his office had increased prosecution of pimps and traffickers.

But the article notes that rather than working with people engaged in sex work to secure these arrests, indictments, and convictions, Kaneshiro's office contributed to a heavily coercive environment, relying upon the state's current prostitution statute to "give police the necessary leverage to influence a prostitute to testify against her pimp".

In that article, Kaneshiro mulled, "I mean, why would a prostitute decide to be a witness and testify against a pimp if she's only facing a violation? If she's facing a crime and if she might do jail time, she might have incentive to cooperate with law enforcement".

Coercive actions against prostitution suspects by police officers and prosecutors are ineffective.

The problematic and exploitative nature of this method was further illustrated earlier this month, when Kaneshiro's office charged 16 massage parlor workers with fourth-degree sexual assault, a criminal charge punishable both by up to a year in jail and mandatory sex offender registration. More insidious is why the women were charged with sexual assault, a crime that implies a victim. In this case, the women's victims were undercover officers from the Honolulu Police Department whom the women either touched or exposed themselves to, after the officers requested a massage.

The problem with coercive criminal charging is that it is ineffective. Most sex workers do not have pimps or traffickers, specifically one like the popular culture depiction seen in movies like "Taken". And this includes XXXXX people engaged in sex work. In their extensive survey of over 300 XXXXX engaged in street-based sex work in New York City, John Jay College professors Ric Curtis and Anthony Marcus found that only 14 percent of XXXXX XXXXX worked for a "pimp".

Similarly, in their extensive seven-country study, Ko-Lin Chin and James Finckenauer interviewed over 149 Chinese sex workers about their working conditions, entry into sex work, and freedom, including Chinese massage workers in San Francisco and New York City. Chin and Finckenauer found just 1 percent of women had been forced or coerced into sex work while XXXXXXXX, and a similarly small percentage (13 percent) who were not in possession of their travel documents or permitted to freely leave the brothel. (In both cases, none of the women interviewed in San Francisco or New York City fit into either of these categories.)

The popular conceit, that sex workers are lured into the industry as XXXXXXXX and then forced to continue sleeping with men until they finally escape, is simply not borne out by empirical evidence. And that means Kaneshiro's tactics are ultimately not helpful but harmful.

Massage parlor workers may simply have no pimp to "give up". And instead, when faced with considerable criminal charges, are being forced to name any friend who helped them, whether that person gave them a ride to work or babysat their children.

Finally, coercive criminal charging ultimately damages sex workers' ability to trust the police. Sex workers may experience physical and sexual violence over the course of their jobs (though for inside workers, these rates tend to be low). And when they do, they seldom go to the police out of fear or past experiences of abuse.

When stories like this one are widely publicized, they further erode sex workers' ability to see the police as a viable option to turn to for safety. This is especially troubling when applied to the small proportion of sex workers who are prostituted or sexually trafficked. Fearing police and trumped up criminal charges does not encourage these victims to come forward or to work with social service agencies.

Sex worker supportive organizations and anti-trafficking organizations have both called out the dangerous precedent coercive criminal charging ignites. Rather than dialogue with these organizations, Kaneshiro and the HPD continue to do what they believe is in the best interest of sex workers and prostituted people despite the obvious harms the actions cause. Instead, we invite Kaneshiro and the HPD to truly engage with prostituted and sex work-involved people by reaching out to the organizations that represent them and know their needs best.

This is the number: 253-248-0686. He writes like a foreignor and keeps at it for $200 to remove your number.

This must be their new tactic if they can't find your info online. Thus preventing them to create the extortion evidence post, they are texting a blackmail instead. I'm sure this is maybe working for them on some low percentage because guys freaking out getting a message like that.
