Mary MacCarthy alleges that she and her child were confronted "based on a racist assumption about a mixed‐race family," according to the lawsuit.

This is the sort of real-world harm that conspiracy bullshit creates. Are children trafficked in this world? Yes. Is it likely that you’re seeing that happen in your ordinary life? Not very. But now all these morons think they have to fulfill a role in some crusade and it’s completely blown past reality.

    FTA:

    “The officers began questioning Ms. MacCarthy and made it clear that they were given the racially charged information that Ms. MacCarthy’s daughter was possibly being trafficked by her simply because Ms. MacCarthy is White and her daughter is Black,” the lawsuit said.

    The crux of the alleged civil rights violation is that the report was based purely on racial profiling and nothing else, which the police made clear when they interviewed the alleged victims. so, it’s not a matter of reporting vs enforcement; it’s a matter of the basis of the report itself, which MacCarthy alleges was, as the police informed her, was in violation of her (and her daughter’s) civil rights.
