The first woman was 67 and in need of work and a place to stay. She probably didn't understand English very well. To make matters worst for her, the cops busted her. Sad.

Hellertown and Nazareth must not have anything going on to dedicate their resources to AMPS.

No just heroin and fentanyl overdoses that you and I are footing the bill for saving them every time they OD. Now grandma, she is a bigger problem. So much so the FBI needed to show up. LE really needs to get their priorities straight.

They think that they "saved" granny, because maybe she lives in NJ and was given a ride into Pa by a neighbor, or hell maybe an Uber, so now she's been "trafficked" and must be "saved" from being able to go to work. Makes perfect sense no?

Probably some local elected officials looking to show they are tough on crime in a year they are up for re-election. Alternatively, someone missed a protection payment.

 

[Ellocohombre]

In this area there are no payments. Loose lips sink ships, neighboring businesses complain, LE sees a steady stream of men coming and going, and probably most of all Karen's complaining.

seems they need more than hand motions and money should have to be handed over to the girl for any kind of arrest. Seems BS to Me.

I'm certain they have a long list of over-detailed reviews in the evidence locker too.

It's cheaper for the taxpayer to fund the systems that keep people out of poverty and away from substance abuse in the first place. But politically we just can't get there the way other developed countries have. So instead we have wastes of taxpayer money like this.

The will of common man to work hard to achieve their dreams for theirs and the next generation has been broken by the freebies our government has showered the masses with. Our government has created a new citizen who accepts crumbs, just because they are free. They are content to live their life just barely getting by, while fantasizing about "making bank" as a sports, music or drug star. The fantasy fades when the work part kicks in. Then it's back to the crumbs, and grumbling how everyone, and everything in the world stops them from succeeding.

Sports, music or drug star, or lucky lottery winner. The lottery ticket windows at the local deli in the most impoverished neighborhoods have lines beginning at 8 AM.

Another kryptonite is the gambling apps available. People are going into debt with the flick of their thumb while sitting on the toilet. Stupid games of chance, sucking the life out of society, frittering away valuable income while their credit debt soars.

This narrative is exactly what the media and the billionaire class wants the average person to believe. They want people to focus on individuals getting handouts rather than every system we have being rigged in favor of corporations. The problem is not that people don't want to work hard.

I sincerely wish I was part of the billionaire class.

In my line of work I encounter the segment of society of which I speak, from first hand experience. The problem is indeed that people do not want to work hard. They do not want to learn a marketable skill and they do not want to excel at anything but, gaming the government hand-outs system. They look at people who strive for advancement as fools. They are eternal children, whining for their wants and happy to have grownups clean up their mess, take care of their kids, make sure they have free health service, free food, paid rent, weed and a voice to rant about how horrible society is to them.

I'm not going to change anyones mind on the subject. Particularly if they are insulated in their suburban cocoon getting all of their information from CNN. Not saying thats you specifically. But the ancient saying is true today: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. You think that horse must be thirsty, but you might be wrong.

I don't disagree with you. I've worked with both populations, impoverished and well to do. The one thing they both have in common is entitlement. Both groups feel they should have things THEIR way, be it more hand outs or or exceptions.
