Crime, Safety, and the Police

[Captain Solo]

Yep. Buyers prosecuted for felony in Tx. Serious stuff.

[Hargow20]

The dept of Homeland security considers people that are being smuggled across the borders as human trafficking victims. So often considers sex trafficking in the same category. This is why they make such a big deal about it in the media. It is really ridiculous that Texas classifieds solicitation as a felony.

It's new. Homeland Security, with its vast resources, has started to do sex stings in Texas and a few other states. I guess HSI has so much money and not much to do while cartels are trafficking caravans of terrorists across the border into the US.

Not sure why HSI has to do sex stings. It has always been local jurisdiction. I don't know of any federal statutes involving prostitution. So HSI would do the stings then hand the perps over to local LE to prosecute, which is a felony in Texas.

Mongers are now federally fucked!

134 arrested in DFW-area sex sting, including 'one prominent DFW city employee', feds say.

DALLAS - 134 people across Dallas-Fort Worth were arrested as part a Homeland Security sting looking to find those paying for sex.

The operation ran from Sept. 11 to Sept. 15 and included several police departments, sheriff's offices and other local, state and federal agencies..

Solo,

You mean as a felony right? All other states prosecute it but as a misdemeanor.

It ain't worth it to try anything in USA.

I'm lucky I have a job where I only have to be in the office 1 day every week and can sometimes skip a week. I could live in MEX, CO or CR and commute up one day per week but that gets expensive.

The operation ran from Sept. 11 to Sept. 15 and included several police departments, sheriff's offices and other local, state and federal agencies.

A release from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) says the arrests included two confirmed human traffickers, a nurse at a major medical network in Dallas, four people with access to secure areas of DFW Airport, four non-citizens and one "prominent DFW city employee. ".

No names were given as a part of the release.

HSI said law enforcement found marijuana, meth, cocaine and guns.

"Sex trafficking, and human trafficking as a whole, is one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises in the USA Human trafficking organizations often target minors and other marginalized populations because of their vulnerabilities," said HSI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Lester are. Hayes Jr. In a statement. "Potential customers who seek commercial sex are often as culpable as those who levy violence to keep their victims entrapped. ".

The purchase of sex is a felony violation in Texas.

The state is the first in the country to prosecute sex solicitation.

HSI says if you would like to report suspected sex trafficking you can call their toll-free tip line at 866-347-2423.

I'm guessing it had something to do with the airport which is treated as an international zone and gives Homeland its jurisdiction.

I'm not a historian, but prostitution was everywhere in Western states until the first half of the 20th century and was not illegal. In the West there was a lack of women and every city had a bar and a brothel. Especially large and legal were the red light district in San Francisco "Barbary Coast" because of the gold rush and in New Orleans "Storyville".

I understand that venereal diseases were very, very, very common then too. Ick!

"Before 1910, the actual transaction was not illegal in any state; by the end of 1914, it was illegal in all of them. To be sure, brothels were officially tolerated beyond that date in several places. ".

Women were given the right to vote in the USA in 1920. So apparently women being given the right to vote is not why prostitution in the USA was criminalized.

Especially large and legal were the red light district in San Francisco "Barbary Coast" because of the gold rush and in New Orleans "Storyville". When women in the state of California received the right to vote in 1911, women's clubs immediately began pressuring the then governor of California to close the huge Red Light district of the "Barbary Coast". The governor did this in 1914 using the so-called "Red Light Abatement" law. Using this law, the authorities also closed down RLD "Storyville" in New Orleans and the entire prostitution business in the US except for a few counties in Nevada. For more information please google RLD "Barbary Coast" San Francisco, RLD Storyville in New Orleans and "Red Light Abatement" law.

Unfortunately, politicians in the US made a big mistake. Around 1914 women got the right to vote (I'm not against it) and immediately women began pressuring state governors to outlaw prostitution, which was legal in the US. Shortly thereafter, the large red light district in San Francisco's "Barbary Coast" and New Orleans's "Storyville" were closed, as well as the entire legal prostitution business in the US, except for a few counties in Nevada. Now we have to go abroad because politicians in the US cannot regulate something as simple as prostitution. It turned out that while legal prostitution is prohibited in the USA, prostitution in the USA still exists, only now illegally and not in clean, safe brothels and sex clubs, but on the street with armed pimps, brutality towards customers, trafficked underage girls and endless sting operations organized by the authorities. Mexico has a lower standard of living and many problems, but the regulation of legal prostitution is about 20-30 years ahead of the USA.

There is 1 or 2 dealers that usually by the hotel Cece.

StRobert made good observations.

Last Sunday afternoon we were walking in the alley when 2 Municipal Policia pick up trucks drove down the alley aggressively. They stopped in front of Azul's, 3 guys jumped out and grabbed a guy walking with his wife and young daughter. They searched, cuffed the guy and loaded him in the back. The wife was hovering over; his daughter was crying hysterically. It was a very sad scene.

So policia has snitches in the alley alerting patrols of drugs dealers. This guy was well disguised with wife and kid, but was still nabbed.

As of last week I also noticed there were no dealers in the alley screaming cuanto in my face. I am glad policia is doing some good work, risking their lives fighting cartels with their meager $750 monthly salaries. I tried to give the sweating Army patrol guys a couple bottles of ice cold coke but they would not take them. Poor kids seating like pigs in their tactical gears patrolling on foot under the burning Mexican sun.

Latin countries are failing badly, their governments weak and useless against criminal cartels. They cannot even feed or protect their population against criminal cartels, sending them with their huge problems to the US, at the same time selling drugs into the US to poison our population. These countries are very serious security risks to us.

Despite Dogers' claims that sex is easy to buy in New York, the Feds are now busting massage parlors for prostitution. Probably only street walkers, touts and pimps are out on the streets selling sex.

Who would be desperate and stupid enough to pop this ugly 45 YO Chinese woman? All clients' phone numbers will be entered into a federal database so the Feds can jerk them around whenever thay want hehe.

More news.

Yesterday my girl told me tha 5 people have been killed in the Zona. She said 3 people were killed one day and 2 the other day. This confirms what I heard yesterday from another friend. She also said that she was by hotel CeCe one person demanded 500 peso's just for walking down that street. My girl told me that she is thinking of moving away from Tijuana. This would be a bummer since there is only 1 or 2 SG's that I might consider seeing. Those girls looks do not even come close to the girl that I normally see. The police have allowed to drug trade to fester by the hotel CeCe so things have gotten worse. She also told me that the SG's are now controlled by the Cartels. This is may be a reason why we are seeing less street girls now. There was also a heavy police presence in the downtown area & by the Zona as well. The police blocked off Primera from Madero to Constitution. The police were not allowing people to walk on Primera st from Madero to Revolucion, Perople were lined up for blocks on Constitution. Someone told me that they were waiting to get into a free concert Caliente stadium.

Well as we all know the Zona isn't the best place especially the further West you go. I think with the high crime and high rent in Tijuana that is also causing some bar girls to find work elsewhere or online.

As far as the police presence downtown and the streets being closed was due to the Mexican Independence Day celebration they had on the 15th going into the 16th. An article I saw in the paper mentioned that most people in Tijuana were going to celebrate at home due to the increase in crime. I'm sure the younger crowd still went out and had fun, it was always a fun night.

[Sol12]

Its been in the news. I saw someone post a picture of dead body laying in front of that newer bar across the side of tropical club. And they said someone else was shot literally on the side of trpical where that restaurant is. So that's 2 bodies at least in last 5 days.

I think the two instances you are referring to are actually the same. The only stories I've read have been the shooting of a guy in front of D&G Saturday night the 9th at around 10:30. The person was shot by a person on a motorcycle.

If you made people disappear and not leave a body, then you can move their file from the higher priority "murder" stack to the lesser priority "missing persons or runaway" stack where lesser resources are spent to work the case. It's what I hear.

[Jackie888]

A friend that lives in Tijuana told me that 2 or 3 people were killed in Zona the past few days. I have my doubts because there would have more news.
