St Paul?

I set up an incall which turned out to be in a location in St Paul (I didn't know before the appointment).  It turned out the provider had something come up - and she was kind enough to call to cancel.  But I was thinking that there's been some hesitation by others to visit St Paul recently - I'm thinking related to LE activity.

Anyone care to share their thoughts on the avisability of scheduling an encounter in St Paul?  If you would rather not discuss on the open board feel free to PM me.

Thanks,
Doc

Many others on this board say to stay away from St Paul.  However, I have seen many providers in St Paul and have never had any problem.

For St. Paul it depends on the hotel, if she is coming to see you, or you seeing her and how "busy" she is while staying there.

Is the appointment with someone you have seen before and trust?  Then it would most likely be fine.

Or is it with someone new?  Then proceed with caution.

St. Paul LE is more aggressive than most, but if everyone is careful and discreet adult entertainment with providers are possible.

Stay away from seedier parts of town (just like you would any other city), be leary of providers who do not screen, and see reviewed providers or those you have seen before.

If you follow this advice and that of the other posters, you should do just fine in St. Paul or any other city/suburb!

St. Paul and some other areas are riskier because LE is more agressive based on what I hear (no personal experience to confirm that, thankfully!)  However, in all those areas providers still operate successfully.  I wouldn't rule out seeing a girl just because she is in St. Paul but it is something you should keep in mind and be extra careful about IMHO.

I can't disagree with you. But at some point it is just an urban legend, that we keep repeating to ourselves until we all believe it.  

Both Minneapolis and St. Paul have a "wall of shame" web site. Based on the dates given, the numbers of pictures and the relative size of the cities, it is hard to get a feel for how aggressive they are.  

Also, if they are running street decoys, I really don't care how aggressive they are.

We just have so little to go on!

I agree - it's hard to know why St Paul has this reputation - hence my original post. I do note that the although the last time the pictures of arrestees was posted - April 2010 - it only contained busts in March of 2009 - either a lag or a sample.  I guess I'd not want my picture posted in either event, but not any worse than Minneapolis.  

Any of you St. Paul PD (either on duty or off) care to weigh in here?

You may very well be right.  We don't really have a practical way of accurately measuring the level of LE activity in any particular city or suburb.  Humans are good at seeing info that supports our established ideas and downplaying info that does not.

It seems that some departments call the press every time they have a chance, and others don't.  

For example, we are all pretty sure the City of Roseville is very active this area, yet it never makes the news.  

Other cities make one arrest and cackle about it for a year.  

St Paul vice has been pretty active in setting up on line stings and cracking down on pay for sex . Just check for massage parlors, most of them in Mpls and other burbs and none in St Paul. That should tell you something.Word on the street  is to steer clear of St Paul if you have other options.

and a LOT more than that, that are not well advertised!

Having a cell phone with a 651 prefix can make some providers nervous as well.

You know it & I know it but it still makes some providers a little nervous.  A recent provider pointed that out to me.  It was something that had not occurred to me up to that point.

Not a major deal to be sure.

well, then they might as well stop taking calls from all the Twin City area codes.
