Although rich in years, rather minimal in experience --and need advice: Booked with a provider hadn't seen in years (i hadn't been active). Get a bit early to the apartment complex and drive by to kill few minutes. Turn car around and drive back and see down in the driveway along side the complex entrance police car sitting there.  I drove past -- called the provider and cancelled. Drove back down the street, and see the cop pull out and head off.

Note: I would be a great catch for LE (i work for the govt, in STD prevention). And would be positively destroyed if busted.

What do folks think? How about re-scheduling?? Completely stupid??

Vice cops don't use marked cars. This may have been a coincidence.

Is she reviewed here on TER? Are the reviews recent? If it was an apartment complex the cop could have been there for any reason but I still think you did the right thing.

I don't see women who work out of private residences.  This is one of the reasons why.  Even if she wasn't setting you up it's very possible that LE is watching her and you, or any client, could get cuaght up in that.

IMHO, you made the right call.  When you called, did you tell her why you were canceling?

The vice cops in the next-door apt. may not used marked vehicles, but that doesn't preclude a B & W unit from being in the parking lot to run your tag once you get out of the vehicle to go inside.

Always better safe than sorry.

Re-schedule--not with the same provider unless she might do outcall to a hotel you acquired.  If so, then use the two call system with her; only giving the room number when she is in the parking lot.

My incall is in a large apt comples, there are sometimes police cars in the complex to deal with other issues. Once mu client was leaving, we opened the door and there were two marked cars right in front of my building. He turned ghost white. They were here to deal with a domestic argument in another building.
If it made you nervous you did the right thing to cancel, you would have probably been on edge the whole apointment.

If her reviews are good, she is an established Provider..it was most likely a coincidence.  A lot of police officers do live in apartment complexes.  They give some security and receive a discounted rate on rent.  I say try her again if you really wanted to see her...

I do believe you made the right call, tho. I would have been on edge myself.

Good luck!

Very helpful.  Provider is very well established (9 pages of reviews since 2001, but 3 in nov, basically no others in 2009).  And I would like to see her (had a great time when i had).

When I cancelled, I had a very good reason -- it was even valid! -- my wife had a problem that I told the provider i had to help her with. (Actually I had felt like an extreme cad ignoring my wife's dilemma and attempting to keep a provider appt!).

What about other tricky stunts --- such as show up in the apt with no cash (I could tape the envelop to the door outside), give provider a Hallmark card that indicates that I saw an envelop outside the appt that "obviously she had dropped", and asks (like Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man) "is it safe?" She keeps envelop regardless -- but I leave if "not safe". Crazy??

but at that moment you were freaked.  If it upset you that much you were right to cancel...  you'd never have had a good time anyway.  

If you weren't so upset you could have driven off, called her from the corner coffee shop & circled back in a few minutes...  if that was ok with her.  

If you liked her, I'd reschedule.  

One incall...  LE Black & White in the parking lot.  I mentioned it to the lady.  She said there had been auto break-ins so LE was patroling.  One more reason that hanging around the parking is not a good idea.

of the possibility that she compromised herself for information to help LE with the sting operation.

Incall to a private residence is a bad idea. You made the right decision.

I meet a lot of providers who belong to agencies and i always park on the street and then ring the bell to meet the provider, is this method risky too?

I assume this is a house or apartment building, correct?

Just be discrete and don't do anything silly like hold a wad of bills in your hand.

A provider who uses such a location should tell you where to park.  I visited one kinky LMT...  who directed me to HER customer space.  Otherwise park on the street & walk in.  Parking in another tenant's space will sure draw attention.  
Another time a lady directed me legally to street park on a side street.  Yet another time I spied a lot for a strip of stores right next door... where my car would not be in the way or noticed for the duration of our visit.

In general, ladies use the 2 call system...  you arrive at the designated place & make the second call.  She will probably see you arrive & open the door for you.  If she does not, knock inconspiciously...  she's probably only a step or 2 from the door & no reason to alert the neighbors.  
My ATF has directed me to enter, locking the door behind me...  but this is the exception which proves the rule.
It can not be said too many times, get inside & close the door before exchanging greetings.  Conversely, say your good byes before opening the door.  
I have parked on a side street away from a location.  I have parked in a nearby business lot...  think strip mall.
Think inconspicious...  adapt as needed.
