I hope not but seems all the Amp places could be checked out for human trafficking does anyone care and are they still safe to visit.

Seems like being in the news lately may add to the investigations.

Several local places have been raided over the last several years. Ultimately it seems none of the trafficking charges stick and everybody is released but the places are still out of business. I NEVER heard of customers getting in trouble as they did in Florida. The LE doesnt want to piss off the voters here, they just want to do the minimum to show they are preventing "crime". Taking down 50 YO Asian women definitely much safer than fighting drug dealers. The whole situation is a joke. Our tax money being blown once again in PA.

"Fighting" drug dealers is a joke too. El Chapo had it right when he said we (the US) are the problem. As long as there is a demand there will always be someone willing to supply. The "war on drugs" has been going on for 50 years, and drug use is as prevalent as ever. Portugal has decriminalized all drugs and has actually seen a reduction in hard drug use.

When the place in Squirrel Hill and the Cranberry foot massage place got busted, didn't they pinch a couple customers?
