I saw the report on 15 last night. So who’s going take care of the real crime that will be going on while the Super Bowl is in town? I guess it’s more important to catch the providers and John’s than real criminals.

They talked about the Task Force but also seemed to concentrate on the organized effort behind the visiting girls.  Told folks to expect to see some prominent local men caught ...

more than one agency will be out and about, they said they were setting up stings for both parties all over the valley, hotels and bars, checking out all the sites, they specifically mentioned craigslist and my space.

They are aware that a lot of women will be traveling here and they are very animate about making busts!

so ladies here, be very careful and check those references!!!!!
Gentleman really need to know who they are seeing!

They are serious!

Wednesday, January 30: Smart out-of-town providers  arrive in Phoenix having booked hotels long before the event and have appointments with clients.

Local hobbyists see their favorite local providers for the last time.

Thursday: Superbowl hobbyists arrive in town with appointments with smart local and out-of-town providers.

Friday: LE arrive in town to try to bust VIPs and providers.  

Not-so-smart out-of-town providers arrive in Phoenix not having booked good hotels and have no appointments.

Supperbowl hobbyists and smart local and out-of-town providers start to  party.

Saturday: LE catch a few Superbowl fans who decide to try to see a provider for the first time. LE also catch a few "semi-pro" providers who try to cash in on the Super Bowl and the not-so-smart out-of-town providers who did not book good hotels and had no appointments.

Supperbowl hobbyists and smart local and out-of-town providers continue to  party.

Sunday: LE watches the game in their hotel room.

Bustred first-time hobbyists, local "semi-pro" providers and not-so-smart out-of-town providers are most unhappy.

Supperbowl hobbyists and smart local and out-of-town providers continue to party or watch the game in their hotel room (or do both)

(or if they are diehard footbnall fans actually go to the game.)

Monday: LE has a big press conference where they announce how successful they were in supressing The Game.

Supperbowl hobbyists and smart out-of-town providers go home. Local providers can relax. Local hobbyists exhale a big sigh of relief.

Terri pretty much said what they said.  And I too tried to find the story on their web page and nothing.  I thought that was strange or LE doesn't want us to pass it along so girls and guys have a "heads up" about it.

I did not see the story, but am far from surprised about the news. All of us, hobbyists and providers alike, not only need to be cognizant about the impact of the Super Bowl but we also are in the midst of an election year. Each one of those variables alone would be cause for LE to increase their enforcement activities. However, the combination of the Super Bowl and the upcoming elections means there will undoubtedly be a bit more LE activity than usual. Any increase in activity should not impact those of us within the community who are seasoned veterans who know how to conduct themselves.

Let's all take a collective deep breath and simply keep our wits about ourselves. Bottom line, this is not the appropriate time for hobbyists to connect with an unreviewed touring provider posting on CL. CL is one of the Ladies, perform your reference checks with due diligence. If all of us trust our instincts, limit contacts either with providers/hobbyists you have seen in the past or those who have a well established track record--all will be fine.

Just my $0.02!
