Crime, Safety, and the Police

From your explanation, "in the USA" is the operative phrase here. Sting operations in the US aren't relevant to Tijuana, other than indirectly explaining why a lot of us monger in Tijuana instead of the US. Imagine if there were moderators for this forum who could actually do their jobs and explain / enforce this, LOL. But as far as those stings, my thought there is simply not engaging in anything illegal like the solicitation of prostitution in the first place would be the way to avoid getting arrested. It's just not worth it IMO.

If prostitution was legal and regulated in the US such as it is in Australia or. New Zealand or even Germany for that matter then there wouldn't be any Americans mongering in Mexico.

The whole reason Tijuana even exists is so that Americans can go there to do things that are illegal in their home soil. During the 1930's during prohibition era many Americans went to Tijuana to drink. Nowadays Americans go to Tijuana for prostitution.

I highly doubt people are just going for the fucking tacos LOL.

8 men arrested during undercover prostitution bust in L. A. County.

This board is about news in Tijuana and I thought you posted to someone else that things not related to Tijuana shouldn't be posted here.

Also you can post this information on the USA version of this board.

So Polk County is almost 2500 away from Tijuana. Why post this here?

Authorities in Claremont arrested eight men after conducting an undercover prostitution sting at a local motel.

According to a release from the Claremont Police Department, a coalition of local agencies teamed up with the LOS Angeles County District Attorney's Office Bureau of Investigation to conduct the raid Friday at the Motel 6 on Indian Hill Boulevard near the 10 Freeway.

"The Claremont Police Department had received multiple complaints from residents, business owners and passersby regarding prostitution in the immediate area," officials said.

During the operation, six undercover officers posed as prostitutes and solicited subjects who sought to engage in commercial sexual acts.

Upon being solicited, the suspects were arrested by additional undercover officers in the surrounding area, Claremont police said.

The eight men were identified as:

Gustavo Alvarado Quinones, 27, of San Bernardino.

Joseph Damond, 67, of Perris.

Christian Oliverarojas, 31, of Upland.

Zezhou Long, 27, of Pleasanton.

Joshua Valle, 25, of Covina.

Yusef Malik Jeffries, Jr. , 32, of Upland.

Richard Eduardo Garcia, 31, of Fontana.

Ruben Iniguez, 22, of Valencia.

All eight men were booked and later released with a pending court appearance at Pomona Superior Court, authorities said.

Polk County, Florida is near Tampa and Orlando. There are prostitution sting operations regularly every few months and they always arrest over 100 guys!

So Polk County is almost 2500 away from Tijuana. Why post this here?

Florida is a tight ass place when it comes to prostitution. There are stings all the time all over the state. Best to avoid.

You know what would be funny is if someone was using there citizens arrest authorities (kind of like Dog the Bounty Hunter) to do his own sting operations against the women pretending to be prostitutes for the Polk County sheriff's Sting operations, then you get in the room and it'd be like the bounty hunter dude arresting the ***** and then the cops bust in to arrest the bounty hunter dude LOL. Then maybe they'd realize how stupid it all is LOL.

Complete waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. Instead they could be using those resources to reinforce the border and prevent real crime from happening such as the death of Laken Riley. But instead they want to ruin these men's marriages and humiliate them. Shame on you Polk County!

CRIME.

Polk County prostitution sting nets 228 arrests, 13 possible human trafficking victims.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd announced Tuesday that a recent prostitution sting generated 228 arrests and possibly identified 13 human-trafficking victims.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office Vice Unit arrested 228 suspects ranging in age from 16 to 73 from across Florida and 11 other states in a recent prostitution operation.

"This is a new record number of arrests during an investigation of this kind," Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement. "More importantly, we identified 13 human trafficking victims; during two previous similar operations in February and October 2023, we identified 24 and 21 victims, respectively. That's 58 victims we were able to identify in one year. ".

The Sheriff's Office launched the eight-day undercover sting on Feb. 22 on the west side Polk County in Lakeland. The multi-agency effort included Lakeland Police Department and police agencies in Auburndale, Davenport, Haines City, Lake Hamilton, Lake Wales and St. Cloud, as well as Winter Have Fire Rescue.

The vast majority, 150 people, were arrested for soliciting a prostitute and traveling to an undercover location to negotiate having sex for money. An additional 12 individuals were arrested, eight of which were for deriving proceeds for prostitution or transporting prostitutes to an undercover location.

Judd said there were 66 prostitutes arrested, of which 13 were screened and may be possible human-trafficking victims.

Of the 228 arrested, Grady said 42 individuals were Polk residents.

"Those of you from Polk County know better," he said. "We talk about this, we don't hide it, and if you don't know about it you obviously live under a rock. ".

Two individuals self-reported connections with Polk County schools.

Other crimes included 44 suspects who brought illegal drugs to the undercover sting and 15 brought firearms resulting in 17 guns being seized.

It is a bit hard to say. My guess is that most of spring break crowd will be heading to Rosarito at least near Tijuana. So police are probably looking to pull over people for traffic violations & DUI's etc. I doubt many sprink break crowd will head to the Zona. But who knows. I was down last Tuesday and things were normal. My guess is that the lines at the border will be longer.

I remember seeing a headline of them increasing the number of police officers for Spring Break so maybe they are just doing more searches to make sure nobody has anything illegal. The good news is that with the recent posts about being searched nobody has had money stolen.

[Sol12]

There was another recent report orn Reddit that some guy was stopped & searched by Police station by (Negrete & Primera). The good thing is that police did not steal any money. The other recent reports that the cops did not steal money as well. But this is a indication that we need to extra careful as well. It is always a good idea to take the money out of your wall when the police search you.
