This is not your run of the mill prostitution bust, this article says that pimps from San Diego recruited prostitutes, then tattooed them with bar codes. This prostitution ring spanned 46 cities in 23 different states.  

And here I was thinking it was going to be the Avondale MP that got busted yesterday offering $39 massages, but selling medical-grade weed without a license.   Sheriff Fuckface was out in front of the TV cameras, ranting about them feeding weed to some little ratdog to calm it down.  

everyone over reacts, I bet 100 to 1 these girls were street walkers or very low end providers

It would appear that pimp fashions from the 70s made a comeback.  

it ain't easy

I watched this & know several of the guys arrested.  Some used the girilla pimping tactics preying on under aged girls.  They even had other girls helping set them up in a hotel, and these gals were arrested as well.  Loco no bueno.

Some pimps have real jobs & are members of society.  The white male who was seen being arrested was a local tattoo artist who I have purchased body jewlery from in the past.  Your funny with your rude response.  To be honest I have always known lots of pimps in the industry, and when I had my own escort agency back in college the most reliable providers had daddies.  If your in this business you are aware of pimps & their work.  I am not some lame who is unaware of this game

A "pimp" is anyone who profits from the acts of a prostitute.  That can be a stereotypical slime bag pimp or anyone male or female.  I'd like to see a church lady pimp.  That would be a novelty.
