Watching cops this am, prostitution stings

If I were a cop I'd be ashamed to be a part of this sting.

Go fight and solve some crime that actually hurts people.

Too dangerous and doesn't pull in high $ for the crime ring (LE, jails, courts & POs)

They like to beef up the name by calling it "Human Trafficking"

Good for shock and awe when the public reads the headline.

It's easy: Hookers on one corner have condoms in their pockets. Meth dealers on the other corner have guns in their pockets.

I used to enjoy Cops, but looking back on that show, those stings they ran were really shitty.

They'd set up stings where the police would sell weed. If someone came up and tried to buy, they would arrest them and seize their vehicle...over some damn marijuana.

It’s all about easy $

This isn't really about money. Its about publicity. This is for the TV and newpapers to do a story. Hey look at me I am doing my job.

A good friend of mine was a LEO for around 20 years, the last several in a city of about 200,000. He did undercover drug operations for the last 6-7 years of his career and told me once of how the Mayor got on a kick to bust backpage prositutes. He and all his fellow officers hated doing it but it wasn't their call. He had several great stories, but the best was once he walked into a motel room and a midget in a robe jumped up on the bed, threw her robe off, grabbed her pussy and said "Is this what you're here for ?" Said his buddies on the force gave him shite for that one til he retired

Yes and no, many of those women (and underage girls) are forced to do that shite or take a beating.

If you want to avoid a sting in this way, you don't pick up the girl for sex. You pick her up because you're looking for a nude model (photography/painting). A undercover-cop-whore won't agree to that.

(As some show I saw on Spike TV advised back in the day.)
