I'm really tired of the growing trend of law enforcement agencies busting people involved in lower-level prostitution (johns, prostitutes, pimps), slapping an unearned label of "trafficking" on there, and saying "Hurr durr, looks like we did something about (human|sex|child) trafficking!".
All they did was entrap johns online and punish the prostitutes, while the uninformed public will eat it up thinking that something is being done about trafficking. This, at least what I can gather from the article, are not the arrests we need in order to effectively dismantle trafficking networks.

Couldn't agree more. This is hardly a huge human trafficking ring bust.
