Leave it to government to create acronyms to make words that make us feel uneasy in everyday life..
"Metro Atlanta Child Exploitation (MATCH) Task Force and the DeKalb Anti-Trafficking and Exploitation (DATE Watch)" Shouldn't it be MACE and DATAE? Because when I think of Match and Date... something else comes to mind. Just like we posted in that thread a few weeks ago... Conspiracy. Singular. Paranoid and Loving It,ga_kosh

Conspiracy. Singular.

the political showboating happens even on the local level. Is this going to be an every 2yr event that we can expect now?
Nothing sells to the masses like the "We're keeping the pimps and drug dealers from exploiting your children" message for incumbents.
Sad, but true
Anyone know who got arrested and which hotel? The article said the hotel cooperated.
The news report comes out two weeks after the blotter dates. It must have been the first slow news day since.
All those reported were adults charged with misdemeanors including the all-encompassing loitering. No reports of pandering. Not so much a task force for protecting children as a ploy to get federal money to help with the "hard-nosed" investigation required.
It seems ironic that the alleged "victim" of trafficking (thus creating a headline-worthy event) was an adult who was also arrested.
More irony is that location of the accused loitering was at PoPo HQ. Since the hotel where the alleged activity occurred assisted with the sting, that establishment gets some anonymity, but the accused do not get such protection.
