Dang they got my girl. Time to find a new one....
trafficking women from Temple Hills MD to Southern MD, and one chick from Alaska
yeah makes for nice headlines
.... but these all look like Americans ... I don't see anyone that looks imported from Europe or Asia
ESKIMO VAGINA I HEARD ITS PRETTY COLD...LOLPersonally I have no issue with prostitution. I don't see why everyone is up-in arms over it. I guess all the holy rollers are going to criticize me for this, but it's a choice. Legalize it, tax it and regulate the #### out of it....
But, Anchorage AK (Holy ####, you know she gets around). She looks the best out of all of them!!!
Yep, prostitutes, no drug related activity to be found where you find them. Pimps, never violent at all. In any case, while I personally feel you could legalize and regulate sex work and society would better off for that, it's not the case now. Trafficking doesn't just mean overseas, GURPS, it's moving the women engaged in this from place to place, part of keeping control over them. That and drugs, of course. And violence, don't forget that. And it is illegal. And maybe LR has missed all the other arrests the SMCSO makes on a regular basis. Very few folks who commit violent crime against otherwise regular citizens stay out and about for very long. Ones doing it to other shady characters get away with it longer, since the victims wont talk.
You don't want the SMCSO to go after this, go work to make it legal.
But we have laws against those things.
Why should there be a law against consenting adults exchanging money for sex acts? Because others things might come out of that?
It's like saying roadblocks should be everywhere because someone might be high, or drunk, or have a dead body in their trunk.
It's simply not the way our justice system "should" work. But what we have here is a play on what is considered taboo. Most people aren't going to protest the time and money spent on these stings because they believe prostitution is bad, or the tired arguments that we do this little thing, because big things get stopped.
I would hope folks don't actually believe that.
Dance around it how you like, generally speaking these women are being abused for monetary gain by the pimps.
I assume this was directed at me. If so, I did read what you said, and I agree with some of it.
If the pimps are the issue, why not arrest them? Are the pimps running the websites SMCSO is browsing? Are these women not putting up their own ads?
Admittedly I don't know the ins and outs of this operation besides it essentially being a smear campaign for these consenting adults.
Most of these women "fell out" from their families and started into prostitution. They usually try to do it on their own then join a pimp. I'm not defending the pimps, but no one is innocent..... If you take a way the pimps, do you think prostitution will go away??? These women will probably go on by themselves.
The advantages of the pimps is they protect the women, they always have a home, etc... etc....
Well, sort of, although that argument is almost of the "at least these colored folks are cared for, not living in a jungle somewhere" quality This is one of those no easy solution type problems. Take away the pimps, and most would continue as is, which is better, being abused by a series of johns, or by the same guy who rents them to johns? No good solution. But what I do know is ignoring the problem certainly doesn't help. Arresting the pimps, Chris, outside of a fixed location brothel, is a very hard case to make. Most of the women would never testify against the pimp, because they either love them or fear them.
The spreading of disease is what bothers me. If the man commits the act, and is married, he risks giving something to his wife who knows nothing about his infidelity. If they were regulated, it would be mandatory for the women to get checked for disease every so often, and the pimp would be the government.
On the flip side of this there are women out there that truly love the lifestyle and are doing it on their own accord. For these women or men, whatever the case may be, how does the government have any authority to tell them who they can and can't have sex with? The way the law is written people are breaking the law if they have a one night stand then give the other person money to buy anything the next day. This is one of those laws that should not be enforced except in cases of one of the parties being abused or doing something against their will. With all that being said I myself have the George Costanza mentality, why pay for it when if I put in just a little effort I can get it for free. I don't look down on those that do use these services though because lets face it, all they did was have sex. I am sure most of us have at least one partner that we regret.
