<font face="arial, helvetica" size="2">Prostitutes, call girls and johns will be the targets of an upcoming sting by the Jackson Police Department's vice and narcotics unit.</font></p>

<font face="arial, helvetica" size="2">Dubbed "Operation Cupid," the sting will begin Thursday night and focus on arrests of street-level prostitutes, escorts and their clients, Cmdr. L.C. Russell said during today's command staff meeting.

Hinds County sheriff's deputies will assist JPD in the sting.

Sheriff and Police Chief Malcolm McMillin has said vice and narcotics officers are working to deter prostitution because of its correlation with other crimes and its impact on the quality of life in several inner-city neighborhoods, such as the Battlefield Park area. McMillin also said he believes going after people who solicit prostitution is the best approach.

"You can't always run the ladies off, but you can make it a really memorable night for those who show up," McMillin said. "At 4:30 - 5 p.m., some guy gets popped and has to go home, I wonder what dinner is going to be like."</font></p> </div>

stay away from battlefield park at around 4:30 on thursday...</p>

maybe it doesn't defeat the purpose altogether (i think it does). i'm sure some "liberals" will claim there is an underlying racial profiling issue here - releasing info for those who read the papers or watch the news. </p>

they don't have the resources or desire to implement a full sting, so they will make this announcement along with a token sting to deter the behavior.

They do this in Huntsville every once in a while.

Judge for yourself the 'racial' motives.

She'll be upset she won't get to watch the Office with me, but she's a *****, so I don't care.

Unless this is a clever trap. Maybe a sting tonight?

Prostitutes and pimps are a big problem in the Jackson area.

What's sad is that they will still catch some people.

...and the I-20 corridor. All the illegals said "well, I guess we're not working THIS month."

you should get out more often. it's not as bad as you think. even in the worst part of rush hour, you can get wherever you're going in 30 minutes.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

it's the worst I've ever seen, worse than Atlanta, or anywhere. I don't count NYC cause you don't even need a car there.

If I lived in Austin I would work til 6:30 just to avoid it.

i lived on the west side of houston for a few years. i laugh every time people complain about lakeland drive traffic. there's nothing like sitting on interstate 10 in the middle of the day, and literally not moving.</p>

shouldn't even be called traffic. The lack thereof is one of the few reasons to live here.

your Austin and raise you a Miami. Good luck getting anywhere between 4 and 7.
