They netted a boat loads of Johns, last 3 weeks of August.  I guess they are trying to tell us to stay away from Bloomington??  But what about them Chinese that don't even bother to verify any info prior to making appointment?  Now there are even more cheap Chinese hoes all over the place, guess its not working.  Russians are coming to town too.  Bloomington PD if you are reading this, you got a lot of work to do.

keep people away by luring them in.  I'll bet half the ads for Bloomington are posted by Uncle LEO.  I heard from a pretty reliable source that a provider who posts fairly regularly got busted and might have turned.  Anyone else hear that?   (I won't reveal the name until I can independently confirm.  I will not speculate with someone's reputation. Just be careful and be safe.)

I read that, it was not that long ago there was the “14th National John Suppression Initiative”

... quote "In 2015, then-Chief XXX halted undercover investigations after three prostitution cases were thrown out because judges took issue with officers going too far and accepting hand jobs from female masseuses before initiating arrests. At the time, the city decided to rely on business licensing to chase away illegal massage parlors. Minneapolis Police have not resumed the stings." ...

Don't believe these cases usually get thrown out.  These cases usually result in conviction.  That is a fact.  And they result in conviction mostly because the guys and women charged plead guilty because going to trial on a prostitution charge in front of a jury is almost always a conviction. (Face it: people are such hypocrites when sitting on such a jury.)  People are usually given lesser sentences in order to plead guilty.

What this poster is referring to are just a few case cases that the media picked up on. The judge rightfully chastised the cops.  In fact, I wondered (still do) why one or more copse weren't charged with criminal sexual conduct. (Read the cases!) If an ordinary citizen did the shit they did, such person would be charged.  Mpls shut down prostitution operations for a while after that and decided to enforce (curb) prostitution by enforcing the city ordinances on massage parlors.

Any way....  don't think those cases are usually dismissed.  They're not.  (Read the case mentioned and look at the real data/statistics/conviction rates.)  Mpls is aggressively enforcing now. They have something to prove and to make up.  And with the Super Toilet Bowl coming in Feb... well...  be careful.  Be safe!

And it did happen recently although I don't know how many years they have been doing it.  LE promoted it heavily as part of their efforts against trafficking but as usual there are few real traffickers arrested.

So WB you cast a cloud on all women that post ads?  Why post at all without any evidence. Fake news...

Such a cliche.  No original thoughts of your own?  I don't give a shit what you think is fake news.  I didn't name anyone and I didn't suggest in any way that all providers are suspect.  And if the thought isn't in the back of people's minds that at any given time someone might have flipped, then that person is not living in reality.  So. fake news dog, I'm sure you can find a dish to go lie next to.  Why post at all?  Good question to ask yourself.

They can't  fathom  the idea that possiby their or someone's  ATF would do such a dastardly thing .

Or sore that you scooped the news  before chance to get out in front of it , if rings true.

Do you think i Should pick a different area than BL? If so- what other areas are good?

Info for my Minnesota friends:
A prostitution sting conducted in Bloomington resulted in the arrest of 14 men.

Police officers from Bloomington, St. Louis Park and St. Paul, as well as deputies from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, conducted a two-day sting Aug. 23-24 using a hotel and an online ad.

Most of the men were from the Twin Cities, although a 49-year-old Helena, Montana, man was arrested, as was a man with no permanent address. The suspects ranged in age from 20 to 66.

Dave notes ironically I was in the Bloomington Police Reserves many decades ago before I moved to Phoenix. Grew up in Richfield, and lived in Edina and St. Louis Park

Also on Sept 7, 2017 Officers from Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Richfield, Minnetonka, Plymouth and Maple Grove created the 494 Corridor Group with a purpose of investigating crimes related to human trafficking along Interstate 494. As of Sept. 7, they have arrested 90 people.

"Human trafficking" in Minnesota similar to many states that consider "sex trafficking" a form of human trafficking.  Under Minn Stat. 609.321.Subd 7a is " “receiving, recruiting, enticing, harboring, providing, or obtaining by any means an individual to aid in the prostitution of an individual; or by receiving profit of anything of value, knowing or having reason to know it is derived from [the sex trafficking of an individual].

Note in some states including AZ,  "assisting" is also part of the law and we have in Washington and a few other recent cases drivers including a husband for an escort were felony charged with sex/human trafficking  

Note the U.S. Senate just passed two massive laws including wiretaps of anyone even thought to be related to prostitution, expansion of the current federal laws with increased penalties and a lot easier to go after anyone connected to prostitution.  See my summary in the legal section here on TER.

The anti-sex advocates pushing there no women would choose sexwork, they are all victims to "save" them need to arrest them.  And more emphasis on John Sweeps.  This has been going strong in Phoenix for many years with felony convictions and prison terms if in any associated with a massage parlor, agency, or anytime more than just one person.  Even the receptionist at a massage parlor or the Phoenix Goddess Temple raid that was in court for 5 years.

There is a case Grason now at the 9th Circuit challenging the prostitution law in CA which is similar to those in most other states.  The briefs on our side are outstanding in my view having read court briefs on these cases for decades. However lots of counter briefs and friends of the court briefs on the States side to keep prostituion illegal.  Oral argument on October 9th in San Fran.   I post more about this in the legal section.

Wow hope that got everyone's attention. Having fun In the world's oldest profession just got more dangerous. I have noticed some ads !lately that have been running for a long time with very hot chicks but no reviews, yet some new average looking ads the reviews are coming in. Always suspicious to me when there's a great looking gal but weeks go by with no review.Anyways be careful everyone and keep an attorney's number handy a d your mouth shut.

Visiting Minnesota from Arizona. My experience here is that whether in Bloomington, Eagan, or Burnsville, very little is offered at massage places. Is my experience the norm is is there a secret move that I need?
Sometimes the therapist would let me finish off and sometimes not even that is allowed. Any suggestions appreciated by private message. Thanks

Some year would love to connect with a gal maybe not an escort, and take her to places I miss from 30-40 years ago.   I took many dates and  ex-wife to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater, the Old Log, Guthrie (now moved) etc.  My aunt did customs at CDT and Guthrie and was an opera singer.  There is a nice resturant in Edina about 50th Street did family dinners at would like to return to if it is still in business.

My Lake home out west was sold but miss the trees vs our cactus and going to my old places and visit the UofM - last time I couldn't find the Mall, the only thing I recognized was the Miss river.  I graduated in 1969 and haven't been back since.  But not in the winter.  All my relatives died like in January when cold and snow having to go to Lakewood Cemetary in Minneapolis

Maybe next summer try some ideas to find women interested in old me but why would buy them tickets, not really going to pay them $300/hr to enjoy a production with me and then go back to my hotel.  

There are providers that like the idea of going to movies, dinner, museums, etc. and don't charge 300/hr during those periods in public.  You'll have to do some research and reach out to one explaining what you're interested in.
