Let's say you knew of a whole ring of people involved in child pornography.
A gang of them. The type of gang that the RCMP doesn't seem to be good at catching
there was this ring of child pornographers in Montreal, the RCMP caught 30 of them.
But they wouldn't have caught any of them at all if the german secret police hadn't clued them in.
Those people were pulling that shit for almost a decade.
and the canuck police were clueless.
Too busy busting street people for misdemeanor possession and harassing already abused prostitutes I guess.
There's a ring active right here in the lower mainland.
but get this, if I talk to a police detective here, what do you think will happen?
1. I get the satisfaction of knowing I did the right thing
2. I get no assistance getting a new place, so when the half dozen of them that are missed in the sting go looking I'm easy to find
3. there's a bunch of them, so instead a half dozen of them tell the police that I'm crazy, or on drugs, or something like that, and since there's more of them, I end up getting hassled or labeled or end up getting grilled by a psychologist
4. there's not any real evidence, because the kids were bought from addicts or birthed by addicts who owed them money, so there's no birth certificate, and afterwards they end up down a drain
5. I just had a cop punch me out and then lie in court and say he was assaulted by me so why would I trust them, and according to their bullshit notes from the cop who beat me I'm "violent" so why would they treat me with any respect.
6. the women are just drug addicts, so why would a cop care?
7. 50% or more of the police force is homophobic or even homohostile, so there's even more reason to trust them for someone with a non-straight orientation.
8. the two main covers that these people are using are a "recovery clinic", and to use gay and transgendered people as a "patsy" so if they get caught they can blame the deeds on someone that %50 of cops will hate anyways. Whose the cop going to believe? the "addict" or the "respectable recovery councillor"
9. doesn't anybody remember the story about Jeffery Dahmer? Where one of his victims actually got out and talked to 2 cops and then they laughed at Dahmer's joke about his "crazy boy" who then ended up in the fridge?
10. For some reason MP3 recording technology is difficult so police reports are still filled out based on shorthand notes and someones memory of a conversation a year later, that way it can be rearranged or regurgitated as the need arises.
11. The Olympics are coming. We don't want to mess with the tourism, just let it slide. In fact it might help the rich visitor count.
12. These people have money. They get $10k per day from this, maybe $100k a month, and the people who can pay that much for an evil fetish have good lawyers and exist in the top of the Canadian food chain. Possibly even in government or law. Naw, that's paranoid.
13. I can't be the only observant human being with a conscience. Perhaps a couple uniforms are involved in the same gang on the side? Probably not. They get screened so well each year, none of them could be doing something for an extra few $k.
You know what everyone has noticed over the last 50 years?
Whistleblowers get a pat on the back and then never work again, when we check in on them 20 years later they're usually living in poverty or died somewhere along the way.
Oh well. Guess this society prefers to not know that people go missing.
3 dozen whores later, I guess we should do something, eh?
Anyways. It's not like stopping them will matter. It's a rich vs poor society with no safety nets created by 20 years of right wing government that's made people so poor and miserable that they flock to gangs by the thousands and turn to whoring themselves or worse to survive.
Canada was once a progressive society, now we're becoming cannibals because there's no other way to eat.
