Prostitution Sting in DC Area
PGC (Prince Georges County) will live tweet a prostitution sting next week. Use hashtags #PGPDVice and #RightsNotArrest to voice your concern. You can also donate money to HIPS DC (info on the site). Money will go toward health screenings, gas for an overnight of outreach services, counseling, etc.

Idk ... I just read thru the page that I reached via the link, & I get the impression that even if they are trying to do a good thing thru this pledge, this organisation is more abt political correctness & trying to stick it to the man than abt making any real difference.
Re: Prostitution Sting in DC Area
Well in either case, I don't think that a live tweet of a prostitution sting is a real good idea.
Re: Prostitution Sting in DC Area
Not sure how I feel on the 'Is it a good idea' question, & I am pretty sure my views on the subj of LE in DC & Prince George's County would not be popular here -- but they may be doing it, at least partially, to help flush out sm of the ppl they are targeting. Make arrests easier, & by easier I mean less struggling in confined spaces, fewer blind spots & thus less risk of harm to both arresters & arrestees.

Here's a better organization I've been following loosely since 2003: Sex Workers Without Borders http://sexworkerswithoutborders.org/. It used to be called STORM for Sex Trade Opportunities for Risk Minimization. They have an excellent, pro-sex workers staff.
