Police State

The Super Bowl reported attracts more pimps and prostitutes than any other event in the world. I wouldn't call this human trafficking. I would call it prostitution. This is another example of a problem created by government that government uses as an excuse to steal our money to combat.
"According to Forbes, 10,000 prostitutes were brought to Miami for the Super Bowl in 2010 and 133 underage arrests for prostitution were made in Dallas during the 2011 Super Bowl.
Prostitution of minors is considered trafficking under federal law." 
I don't have a problem with calling prostitution of a minor trafficking from a prosecution point of view, but it still implies kidnapping, which is not necessarily true.
"Greenlee, a former sex trafficking victim who was abducted and raped by her captors at 12, told the Times-Picayune that she was shuttled around cities in the South to work as a prostitute at large-scale events. The 53-year-old, who now works as an advocate for sex trafficking victims in Louisiana, said there was immense pressure to meet her traffickers’ demands at events like the Super Bowl. "
That's what I think of when I think of trafficking.
