I was just checking out my snapchat a while ago and read this chic's snap about her being shot down infront of her apartment in Jonesboro. Damn! The dirty south ain't nothing like California, lady. I never saw this chic though, only added her on snapchat. I'll just pray for her.

It's deeper than that (cue ominous music). The law enforcement industry grabbed on to the "trafficking" tag as a way to justify anti-prostitution operations. Which they love because they're pretty easy to do, fairly low-risk, probably fun to do, are a great show of power, don't get backlash because nobody wants to be on the side of prostitution and it gets on the news pretty much every time. The anti-prostitution crowd, which now includes "feminist" and other left-side groups as well as right-side Christian types, saw the "trafficking" tag as a boon for their cause, so they began using that for political pressure against Craigslist and then Backpage as the most obvious prostitution markets. Congress was happy to play along, and dragged Backpage up for a flogging. When they realized Backpage couldn't just be shut down because Section 230 "protected trafficking", they came up with SESTA / FOSTA to strip away those protections. Only the most strident free-speech types dared oppose it. Because "trafficking" . And it sails through with 388 votes in the House and 97 in the Senate.

Only then does any actual conversation start to happen about the effects of the law. And the market is finding its workarounds (of course). Law enforcement will, no doubt, find the new marketplaces and get back to their "trafficking" busts, but I love that they're upset over the development they set in motion.

This thing right here.

Tip o the hat from us.

You should post more.

Not to mention that the cops have to fill their quota too. Especially when there is an election coming up or pressure from somebody political like a city councilman. I got very excited last week. I saw on the news that 19 homes were being raided in Gwinnett and from that headline alone I was rooting for the police because I thought the days of the drug cartels in Norcross were finally coming to an end or some huge bust was happening but then that excitement turned to disappointment when I saw 19 homes were being raided to bust some asians growing marijuana. My 15 seconds of high hopes were shattered.

The people that set this BS in motion are not cops, they are politicians. They don't give two shits about human trafficking, prostitutes or catching pimps for that matter. The only thing they care about are the Lobbyists that support them and. Well, that's about it. The lobbyist get them the votes they need.

The damned fools should have thought of that in the first place but then what more can one expect from thick-as-a-brick bureaucrats and moralizing sex nazis. Morons.

Sounds like some low IQ investigators. "vice squad" yeah right.

New technology is more likely than a reversal of SESTA / FOSTA (because no one wants to be the "pro sex-trafficking candidate". )

A blockchain or other distributed computing based retail network will come along eventually, out of (current) enforcement reach.

Geez, that makes it sound like mongers and providers will have to utilize "smart" cards with login credentials, digital certificates and cryptography to "securely" communicate. I like the concept though.

[Ozymandias]

Wonder if there's any chance of reversal?

But does showing 40 year women mean nothing happened? You wanted them to show the kids faces, which if there are some, they wouldn't do?

There were no kids involved. Dunwoody just amping the situation as much as possible.

A lot of families destroyed. The cops should be penalized for not knowing what is the law e. G. 3 months no pay etc. The cops can just go on but the broken families cannot. This is not fair. (I know life isn't fair!) They should also be taught what is meant by sex trafficking or sex slavery with minors. I saw in the news about arrest being made for sex slavery to minors but the pictures of the arrests show 40 yr old women. Sex trafficking and forced sex to minors are really nasty but don't do it for publicity or increase police budgets. I think somebody is playing with statistics to justify their motives. Better still, make prostitution legal and control it properly.

That's big news! Score one for the Constitution.

Unfortunately, you can bet the state legislature is going to introduce legislation making these types of surveillance activities easier in the next session. All they have to do is use the term "human trafficking" no matter how bullshit it is and it'll pass with 98% of the vote.

It's good however, does it really matter at his point? I mean most people probably already plead to lesser charges. So only the ones who lawyered up made out. Even if all the cases were dismissed, LEO still got what it wanted--the agencies gone, people's faces in the paper, and most of the business out of their area. I don't think they have to make a law to get what they want. I wonder if some of the old agencies will resurface? Would be nice.
