That shit would help on the domestic front a great deal. As the laws are right now, a woman gets knocked for prostitution it behooves her to cry sex trafficking. It gives her access to resources and keeps her out the system. Make that shit legal and we wouldn't have the criminal prosecution element and could concentrate on real instances of trafficking AND the sick fucks who purposely pay for underage girls.
The way shit is set up now, any woman who is busted for prostitution and doesn't burst into tears and say she's a victim of sex trafficking is a fucking fool. No way is LE moving forward against her. Up here, she'll probably have an advocate so fast it wouldn't be funny.
Now dealing with Asian immigrants and women being trafficked through Mexico(they bringing women from Eastern Europe through that border) is a different ballgame, but criminalizing prostitution because of sex trafficking is dumb. They don't criminalize farming and manufacturing and there are more a helluva more human trafficking going on with labor than sex work. Politicians won't touch that shit though. Government always trying to feed the prisons instead of taking common sense approaches.![]()
But it's completely difficult to separate the two
Because they all sell sex favors for money
And it becomes trafficking only when they're not from there
When cats get busted for pimping a woman and they're in the same state they had been in they don't get that charge
It's taking them across state lines it becomes feds it becomes football numbers and it's hard to argue with it
If you take a chick from ohio to Cali how is it different than trafficking?
Again some how's wanna get down
Some get into the lifestyle and like it
Others are forced into it
It's hard to decipher that shit on case by case basis
I think it should be decriminalized
But then things would get really really interesting mainly because pimps would be out of business
Just like the local weed man you had for the last 10 years in Cali is completely out of business.
