I live in South Carolina and I'm trying to find way to get this into the news. It starts with this, and then other things get added. I think before the state can introduce a bill such as this, they need to prove their claims beyond a shadow of a doubt. I agree that human trafficking is a huge deal, but this isn't the solution. I hate to invoke the gun owners argument but I think it could hold weight here--People are going to find out a way to get around this if they intend to traffic humans, this stops nothing.
The reality is that this state has bound many laws to the ideals of the church for far too long and deep down I feel that this is what it's really about. Taking the approach of "guilty until proven innocent" is ridiculous.
Offtopic but related to this brand of republican: These are some of the same politicians that are freaking out because Charleston, SC is being more and more blue. They have openly started legislating to try and keep population boom from turning the state blue in future elections.

It doesn't even have to be done with additional laws; the bill specifies that "human trafficking hubs" must be blocked, but doesn't seem to define the term. It would be rather easy to start adding all sorts of things to that list.
