the police officers are going to do something that would be unthinkable in france go undercover posing as prostitutes. these agents known as undercovers will encourage customers to pay them and catch them in the end they will also try to be recruited by pimps. they expect to make approximately 1517 arrests and arrests. and are human traffickers. western avenue is a popular spot for sex workers the 2 undercovers take their position the operation is extremely dangerous they could be assaulted by customers or threatened by pimps carrying weapons this is why searching windows has set up ingenious security

measures. in the box me jaysus one of the plainclothes police officers will pretend to be homeless hidden under a cardboard box so on top of having the uniforms in the area we also have you know various you know you see operators that's up to them to be as creative as they can be if it's a blend this individual here in the car in front of us with the hood open that's actually not a cover officer. i don't even just in front of the 2 police officers another armed officer is ready to intervene in case things get out of hand the prostitutes are very quickly approached. they've only been out there for 30 seconds and now we have a car stopping to talk to the sergeant munoz has a live feed of their conversations through the phone. 0 expected.

thank you. so it's like they're trying to they go there they go. the money a simple verbal agreement between the prostitute in the customer is all it takes to classify as an offense the girls indicate to the customer park a little further away. so that's a plainclothes officers cover isn't uniformed officers nearby carry out the arrests . try now you're just being. detained for prostitution investigation. you know. these arrests will continue well into the night. i think it was for oral sex but we told them that because she didn't get into the car that he thinks hold nothing happened while no if you can still commit

a crime even without the theme of getting in the car in california prostitution customers or johns risk up to 6 months in prison and a $1000.00 fine however these johns aren't the only people charged munoz is concerned about here she says there's just too the line of cars waiting. he wants to identify the pimps these pimps and often recruit girls directly from the street the driver of this luxury sedan approach christina one of the undercover officers. this is a possible pam and he exchanged phone numbers. where they're on the cover so what the on the cover is going to do if they want to communicate with them it can be something that can be done tonight or it could be done within the next. a couple of

days. actually. cross going to play what are. the results 18 arrests and contact with a potential sexual trafficker the operation has been a real success for surgery monos and the hollywood vice squad at the station christina is quick to contact the driver of the sedan. the way he was talking to her it wasn't like the usual guys that approach us and are just like a lot of sex or i was oral or anything like that it was very kind of big to me he wanted more from us so not really saying ok i'll control every absolutely but influencing me to keep working out on the street what we're trying to accomplish is to see if we can get a pandering violation. california inciting an adult woman to prostitute is

punishable by 6 years in prison. los angelos the 2nd most populated city in the united states with over 4000000 inhabitants and hotbed of prostitution and they. run the city sidewalks in apartments but also in hotels around the airport thousands of women are prostituting themselves under the control of pimps who are often gang members. this issue is affecting more and more underage girls on a daily basis totally. less risky than trafficking weapons or drugs the sexual exploitation of children is a highly profitable business for organized crime and under-age prostitute could bring in between $150200000.00 a year 10000. 2 weeks that is the week.

we were given the rare opportunity to follow the hollywood vice squad who fight this modern slavery on a daily basis if i catch you judge another car you're going to jail. they're hunting ground western avenue. but come out of here is only a walk up and down the west. how quickly. surging munoz is leading a team of around 20 officers in the field working undercover they are trying to catch prostitutes and pimps by posing as customers. there. as soon as underage victims are identified these undercover officers and the case over to the human trafficking unit 60 tech to have specialized in long term cases probably looking at about 36 open cases right now erin and his colleagues use some

a daily basis the images that we see you know the interviews you hear the stories of these children of what they go through and it's heartbreaking you know obviously i would never want my daughter to ever be you know exposed to any of this so it's still a motivator for me. however aaron doesn't have a lot of spare time for his family. night or day or night but if i get a call yesterday. even on a day off. erin's unit is located at l.a.p.d. headquarters in the heart of the city the 60 tech lives working in this department are very well pete on average $100000.00 per year in order to fight this war against sexual trafficking they have a surprising weapon up their sleeve i have 2 undercover accounts. instagram that i

to recruit young girls via social media or dating apps the pimps 1st try to seduce them some don't hesitate in sending graphic images i don't ask for him though send a picture of your penis. these vulnerable and easily influenced girls will then fall into the pimps. for our real victims need these are all girls that are out there they have very low self-esteem so when something like this gets into the picture that all things i tell them how cute they are you've got a nice body you're so smart it builds a girl's confidence at some point a rope i say you know what i think you're the guy for me and then i'll know i'll come mess with the. so we continue to chat. tonight aaron is going to try to trace back these men who are exploiting young girls his team will be working in a joint operation with the hollywood vice squad.

you know what i'm going to be up there so i don't think about it i don't mean a grown man not new dorp or. i kind of but i wonder. if they now i think it's have enough. members to africa mafias conway's them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. leave the college speech util. will not some of them leave be a mom and i couldn't you know if this unit can get it out i mean. they sold the.

lady gets all caught of the united. with the persona that i can't even use coubertin woman. we're going to be conducting this investigation both tell. cornelius the risers it's going to be sergeant munoz we're going to have to interview the central victims and once we determine that they are victims of human trafficking in being or pandering then we're going to attempt to locate and identify their their pimps. one of the vice squad officers has selected the on line profiles of the prostitutes that appear under each. as of 2017 they are now considered as victims under california law to help them get out of the game these undercover officers are going

to trap them by posing as potential customers this is what we're looking for right here she looks very. you can tell she's using social media that to me this kind of screams that. this has the potential to be a juvenile victim right here. in the market for it is. nothing that you would believe that the. police will be operating from this luxury hotel by x. 80000000 travelers who pass through this area every year and the dozens of surrounding hotels are a godsend for pimps. a lot of the girls or lines girls that were prostitution. may know the hotel very well they know that most of the men that call them in this area are business men who are usually from out of town so a lot of times are undercover as well act as businessmen from out of town. 20 or so

agents are now inside 2 adjoining rooms in this hotel. in the. hand is good. so that room is where they will be doing the undercover operation and then the undercover when they get a violation and then we take the female into custody they bring her back and here you will do the interviews an. undercover cop is already texting a girl who is potentially under age to gain her trust he is telling her about his evening. or a story that it's credible that i was at a strip club and i wanted to. so now that i spoke spoke to her she says she's going to be out here in 20 minutes and hopefully we can get her to come out and then how much was the amount of her rate it is set. a $100.00 for an hour or for 50 for 2 hours. ok for example for your get are fulfilled.

rates for hotels are 2 or 3 times higher than the going rate on the street police officers have police cameras around the bedroom for the operation they can discreetly observe what is going on in the next room. so. they are doing a negotiation we can hear it and help us with our investigation later on down the line if we have to go to court they're evil the use of creole to show that the officer did make an agreement the girl a police officer on watch at the hotel entrance alerts the team of the young woman's imminent arrival at all if you. can. pull out a system. so this is going to be the way to get. their

government. police officers bumped into was suspicious woman in the corridor or perhaps the prostitutes madam. the police officer who is posing as the customer comes out of the bedroom pretending to take a phone call. like we man thought. here. for. the 1st. polaroid. if i didn't know that they don't. know. it's. the young woman is taken into the adjoining room. she's making out like this is her

1st arrest. and. she's taken $200.00 from the fake customers got it. the police officers now want to find out if she is working under a pimp 2. so like. i was thinking this. is. a dry if you don't break you're going to pass off. it's impossible to know whether she is working for herself or for someone else despite her young appearance she is in fact of age as she's very youthful and appearance but they verify she's 20.

the police managed to arrest a 2nd prostitute later that evening but she is also of age. they got 2 girls tonight it was a good night they got to unfortunate in getting minors and then one girl was 20 and then a crow was 24. and they're not being charged if they're doing it on their own. so they will get. taken to the jail they'll get a citation and released and hold out their own welfare always. being charged with prostitution means these 2 girls risk a $1000.00 fine and over 40 hours community service unfortunately the police haven't managed to arrest any underage girls tonight but their efforts to save these young girls from a life of. 2 sion will soon be rewarded. between 2 night operations the hollywood vice squad are taking advantage of those rare

moments of downtime to release some tension kids early evening and surgery munoz's day has already been pretty busy. he came in early to help at the detect this. branch of a couple gay members who were actually responsible for shooting. shooting throughout all the wood and some of the surrounding areas so we got them a custody so we're here at 4 in the morning for you know we're going to start right in the city they will go all night you know addressing the issues should be a finite a 5 year long. that's all the 40 usually long nights. surgeon munoz will spend most of tonight patrolling the streets of these tollywood in search of underage prostitutes in his undercover car he will head down western

avenue. crushing koreatown with its local businesses and motels but also those more infamous hollywood streets that are ran by gang members surgeon munoz sometimes stumbles upon some rather unusual scenes during the night. every night at around 10 pm the regular ritual of scantily clad prostitutes coming out onto the street begins to come out here. only walk. wester and you can see how quickly things just get more growth yeah there's there's about 56 different girls with that about a 4 blog. area. the soliciting is completely uninhibited for everyone to see so you can see them monitoring traffic waving cars blowing kisses at people

obviously their dress the way their dress or attire it's part of that. and suddenly the surgeon notices a sex worker who appears very young. spring everybody out in. the sun now she's here on the corner you see here right here because of the street we have enough on the cover of just in the area they kind of tried to get her attention to see if she decides to get into one of the cars. one of the plainclothes officers approaches her in his van after a short conversation the young woman agrees to get in. such a man with an unknown question declined an hour at all she's trying to screen him and as we can see the wife know they're going to be driving away. surgeon who knows stern's detail them. in the surrounding area are waiting for the signal from

undercover cops before intervening. oks got the mileage on the violation making. the arrests take place at a gas station. c.c.t.v. cameras and lighting mean it is safer for both parties that. once again the young woman doesn't have any idea. so these girls often lie to us about their identity no i.d. and their age even though she's saying she's 20 years old see her appearance is that of a juvenile. so. these arrests of under age looking girls continue well into the night. because it.

just typical friday night in a hollywood initiated alley. more often than not these girls aren't carrying id they're taken to the station to verify their ages. in the parking lot one of the girls catches the attention of the officers she's 5 months pregnant. at the precinct surgeon munoz recognizes the young pregnant girl this is the 3rd time she's been arrested. first it was our 11th and then we got her and. her last arrest was when she was 17 years old and she is now potentially of age but the police officers are sure to try to get her salad they're not there to see if this was in charge of the children

actually. she actually jumped out of the car ran out friend away from the c.f.s. and she's better but now she's she's probably in a double every 3rd fight that. we're the 5th generation me to be. desperately wants to be. a she is the is the center which efficient it all right if you're a. male very clear if you are the rest of the recession for a full we just need to get the right information to find out. when checking the files the officers realize that the young woman has lied about her date of birth she's been using her sister's id she is in fact still a teenager the realities are all this is just a i just. on the board. my wrists are. in a position you know. it was 15 it was

a fairly sure did you see her sister's information show that it turned out that she still isn't there so now you get a call b.s. really. we're out to get her out of life but it's going to be a hard world. trade and investment to become metrics bills to come to economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investor a chapter of a trade agreement is about something very different but won't when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all the environment. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can do serious. national
