It's an easy revenue generator for them.

This is the third thread on this page concerning the issue.  It might be more appropriate to post under one of those rather than move another thread of the page.

Does it suck for them ....yes! But there has always been an imbalance of exposure in this biz. They usually bust the providers & rarely the client...They usually publish the names of females, but never (or rarely) the clients.

Probably a way of AZ police to make guys think twice..."This could be you" or "Don't end up like this" kind of warning. It will effect those on the fence whether they indulge or not.

Bottom Line: It's an "occupational hazard" of the hobby. Just as disease is, getting busted by SO is, over-spending is, etc...

From a independent lady's point of view, I suggest gentlemen be more understanding and co-operate with our screening process. That way we are both on a level playing field. You will appreciate why we exercise the precautions we do. I personally will not add new friends in the playground without 2 reputable provider references or at least one with P411 or Date-Check.

Staying safe is most important rule of the game in addition to having fun!

Just my 2 cents...

I think that's a pretty damned effective idea by the cops. You might argue that those guys haven't done anything and that there's no crime against having your name in a rolodex, but if the courts let them get away with it, it is a good deterrent. It seems like those guys are defacto punished without the trouble of a trial, so it will interesting to see if there's any fallout.

I would urge all providers to put some cops names in their files!

Sorry, but seeing the personal information of 6,000 guys exposed isn't going to make us more willing to share even more information with providers.

I agree with your opinion. I don't want to give out personal info to anyone. This list does not make me feel safer with an indi.

Exactly how I feel. And seeing how MA is killing for money, who knows what may happen. Especially with the fact that the governor is thinking about a gas tax hike.

Let's hope this doesn't hit home, but one may never know.

It's bigger than arrest or death. What will happen when their wives and kids and moms will find out. Their jobs too.

It is possible that their  photos will go online soon.

Soon it will happen in Boston. We will all become famous and everybody in the family and neighborhood will call us uncle jon.

I think the providers should not ask for personal info. Instead, we should all rely on our instincts or visit RI.

I don't remember, but just a quick question, but didn't the AZ agency accept credit cards as well?

I forget the name and hence can't find the link to the agency's site that was listed prior.

What files?  Any guy who fills out forms or gets verifed through an agency is nuts.  Stick with Indys who keep NOTHING! KJB

Well said, if you are not dangerous and see well reviewed and safe agencies than in all likelyhood you will not get "outed". This AZ agency was a rare case and they were way to public for my liking, basically they were out front like it was legal or they were above the law..discretion is the better part of valor and besides a little risk of the dicreet rendevous we seek makes it more exciting no?

If that's how big the risk is, then you probably shouldn't be doing it.  If guys want to do this, they have to take the risk, too. Asking the women to forego background checks is totally unrealistic.

Everything is about choice. If you choose to be here, then you will eventually face the consequences.  

I agree the providers do need some security, before meeting with a guy. I could not blame them for asking, for I would too lol

If people are so paranoid, get out while the going is good. If you are planning on staying around, then shut up.  Otherwise, meet a lovely lass and go have some fun!  That is what this hobby is about.

Remember, this hobby is not a right! It is just what it is, a hobby

Camille, I am laughing hysterically. I hope we all can love the comment "grow a set" ...... but you couldnt be more right about the two way street there are many risks for both parties its a wonder how we manage to have any fun past all of the obstacles.

Thanks for the laugh and I am going to continue counting my blessings and having fun with my friends although my thoughts are with the clients/providers and their families in AZ.
