Most big cities have significantly reduced policing, and anti-crime policies have become much more liberal and lax. I would think the hobby would be more relaxed now. But most providers have gotten even stricter with screening procedures, etc. Why is the hobby security becoming stricter while law enforcement is scaling back??  I don't understand this dichotomy.

Many gals screen because of their fear that the client could be a time waster, dead-beat, highly obnoxious, smelly, or even dangerous.

I screen to mske sure I don;t get  robed,beaten,raped,kidnapped or worse,all this happens when you dont screen and open your door to criminals.illegal aliens,gang membes,etc

Ok, but many girls ask for an ID. How does a drivers license tell you that he is not a criminal, dangerous, gang member, etc?  I can see how a reference from another provider can attest to comfort and security, but I don't understand how an ID can provide security.  A guys name can be whatever it may be and he can be dangerous or not, there is nothing in the drivers license that provides such comfort.  

that a dangerous person who intends to harm the escort will not comply with the directive to show an ID like a drivers license because that ID will surface to police who investigate and they will be captured because of that fact.

Also, they can cross-check the DL name through blacklists and google searches which may turn up further data, both good and bad.

Providers shouldn't be having to screen a client (Just so she can make the money). Any Preditor who hurts a Female Provider.........His ego is so far damaged that he has no other way to get his nuts off, But to hurt woman!!!! Oh, what a damn fucking ego he must have.
