Germany trafficking: Mass police raid on Berlin mega-brothel - BBC News

Why does it take 900 burly cops to make six arrests of svelte hookers and tax evaders?

Of course the raid was for tax evasion.
You can do it but the g'vmnt has to get their cut of the action.

Probably to get at the high level human trafficers, either those that were arrested or key members that can be leveraged?

They had to have every cop on duty, to make sure none of them got nabbed in the raid.

What? Perhaps you are military and you've watched too many human trafficking CBTs.

Prostitution is legal in Germany as with other European countries. The girls who do it do it because they're good at it and they make $$$. It's highly regulated.

There's a reason why the number of sexual assaults, except for the refugees, are very low in European countries with legalized prostitution.

Americans can learn from this.

In the U.S. I'd venture to say the majority of prostitutes are runaways (some of whom were abused at home), drug addicts and/or immigrants with no marketable skills who are tricked into it by unscrupulous individuals who promise them work without disclosing the truth (all to line THEIR pockets.)

I really don't think you can make the comparison and once again would you want your daughter, sister, wife, girlfriend or mother being a prostitute because they "were good at it?"

In addition to what LNL just said...

As with legalized drug use, there are a number of other social costs that pay for the reduction in "crime" that you "legalization" advocates love to gloss over and/or pretend don't exist.

The EU is a failing cesspool and America has no business trying to become just like it. Furthermore, if people love it so much they can move there.
