What happened to the prostitutes?  Prostitution is illegal, yet the prostitutes were not identified as were the solicitors in your report.  Are they not equally as guilty?  Or is it because we the people have decided that entrapment will suffice if we can't catch the lawbreakers in the act?  

Pimpin ho's and slamming MLGW truck doos

kmt the prostitutes are cops.

kmt13119, the prostitutes are typically only held 24 hours and that's IF their pimp does not bail them out first.  We need the laws to change to make it more difficult for those commiting these crimes.  1 in 4 Memphians have STDs and prostitution does not help the situation.  By the way, I along with several of my nieghbors have called MLGW with truck and tag numbers of their employees picking up prostitutes during work hours and they would never do anything about it.  The people answering the phone would act like it wasn't their problem and they didn't care.  It's their problem now! :o)  

"Police also seized 42 cars during the operation."

I guess that whole Bill of Rights thingy is gone.  WTF happened to due process and unreasonable search and seizure.  I am all for arresting these guys - but stealing their property under the color of the law? Why not confiscate their bank accounts - they were used in the commision of this crime.  How about we seize recklesss driver's cars.  The car is undeniable part of the crime!

I am a concerned taxpayer who happens to live on the nearby street where these prostitutes perform their daily business adventures!  I am the mother of two pre-teen children, of whom I have had to explain whay these women are walking up and down the street morning, noon, and night,  We have lived here for at least 6 yrs, and this has always been a significant  porblem that his largely been ignored on a daily basis.  This sting is only the second one that I have seen or heard about in all of these yrs.  I the police were vigilent about arresting or trying to stop the solicitations all together, they wouldn't have to wait and embarrass a bunch of ignorant men with lack of control, thus jeprodizing their reputations and the livelihood for themselves and their families.  I am really tired  of these ill-fated attempts, suposedly to stop this.  We live ina area where there are 3 night clubs, 2 strips clubs, all within a 3 mile radius , and the "Bus Stop Girls" as we call them; because it isn't the bus they are waiting on!  It is really sad when the moral fiber of our society has stooped so low that on a daily basis we have to explin this type of illicit behavior to our children and feel that because we don't live in an area such as Cordova  or Collierville, that   where this would have been stopped a long time ago, or never even allowed. I really hope that the city and the police are serious about eliminating this problem, and just not another futile attempt blowing in the wind.

Pimps up ho's down...The lot Lizards are still on the strip....

Pimping ain't dead the ho's just scared.......hahahahahahahaha...Beware the moat is full of alligators.....
