LGBTQ+ dating apps used by police in dozens of drug arrests
The Hill ^ | Jan. 28, 2022 | Brooke Migdon

Florida authorities this week said LGBTQ+ dating apps have helped them make upwards of 60 drug-related arrests.

In a six-month sting operation which officers called “Swipe Left for Meth,” undercover detectives used dating apps like Grindr and Scruff – targeted toward men who have sex with men – to locate a number of people suspected of buying and selling drugs online.

The operation produced more than 60 arrests, according to a news release, and detectives have obtained warrants for at least eight other suspects.

Detectives during the investigation filed 159 total felony charges and 72 misdemeanor charges against the suspects, who, altogether, have 908 previous charges, including 453 prior felonies and 455 prior misdemeanors.

Gay meth business aside, dating apps are a hunting ground for predators.

I suppose they have to get all wound up to do some of the things they do to each other.....

Guy I worked with in Ohio was gay and he said the lifestyle is an addictive one....that you have to do more and more bizarre things to yourself to get the thrill you once did. Not uncommon they become sadists.

Imagine the sick sh*t that goes on through these apps 🤮. One of the greatest mistakes of our country was allowing the normalization of all these degenerates. No healthy society can have open and rampant homosexuality. It has been the gateway that has opened the door to much of what ails us.

I suppose this is homophobic or a violation of some right or other? Yeah.

I don’t like the sound of this.

It is unseemly for the gov at any level to stoop to such tactics.

That (and that it's police doing it) is exactly what makes this story "news".

When Jeffrey Dahmer was killing gay men, he had no problem finding targets of opportunity; their disorder leaves the compulsive patients at a disadvantage when dealing with a pervert intent on murder. Political correctness prolonged his spree, as an underage drugged Laotian victim who escaped was turned back over by cops to Dahmer (they later said they didn’t know he was underage).

Actually so called social media is the real scourge.

For decades they worked to normalizing mental illness and forcing the population to believe idiotic demands like a man can get pregnant, a man dressed like a women can use the women’s locker room and bathrooms, sick but they cant fool anyone

This wouldn’t be news to anyone in that community. These apps are as much about finding drug connections (a plug, parTy, etc) for many as finding sexual outlets. I’ve helped a friend escape a marriage that was destroyed by his husband’s addictions to the apps and the drugs

Social media is like having a rave, a black market and strip club in your pocket 24/7. Instead of building connections it creates more echo chambers and enhances the dangers of mob mentality. As a species we’re not mature enough to handle something like social media.

They’re putting it out there on the ‘net. What is that, considered private? People are always putting stuff on the internet that presages some nutty or plain vanilla illegal act and people say authority should have been all over it. Which is it? The internet is some kind of giant private place or is it public?
