Damn that is too bad, that Stephanie Marie Venters is the kind of busty gal I always look for.

You don't get Federal "human trafficking" grant money if you don't produce "human trafficking" arrests. It's all about the Benjamins. Always has been, always will be.

Sure, lets victimize the poorest and most vulnerable members of the society, by demonizing behavior which has no impact whatsoever on the society's wellbeing.... F**g idiot hypocrites.....

The only encouraging thing about the whole story is the comments of the readers of the Santa Barbara Independent. About 90% of the comments are along the line of: how dare the Police Department spend valuable resources on victimless crime, maybe prostitution should be decriminalized or legalized, who cares what consenting adults do on their own time, and shame on the paper for publishing the booking photos when the people have not been convicted and they don't publish booking photos for people arrested for other less titillating crimes. Sounds like some smart people up there

I noticed that too. A welcome change from the comments following AMP busts reported in the Orange County Register.
