I love you Mya, but you really should not give legal advice after a long night of drinking tequila  (especially while analyzing California law as it may apply in Arizona, which is probably not the same).)    As a former prosecutor, I know that cops can lie to get a confession, can engage in numerous subterfuges, and are primarily interested in getting the provider to make and/or acept an offer, without making such outrageous offers so as to constitute entrapment.
This is why it is so important for the provider to screen, and avoid discussion of intended activites.  For the hobbyist, a TER VIP membership should be all you need to make an informed decision without crossing lines.  Anyone asking a hobbyist "what are you looking for?" is a LE nightmare waiting to happen.
   That being said, your advice to say nothing is the best part of your analysis.  You have a right to the 5th--use it.

I wish I could hear your tequila rantings in person.  You are una señora muy magnífica....muy caliente y fino de hecho

I didn't do anything. And I'll never do it again.
Besides, define lewd. Now tidbits, I could go for that.

Lurker here who also happens to be an attorney as well as a tequilla drinker.  What Mya says is absolutely correct.  You have the constitutional right to remain silent and should invoke this right.  Unfortunately too many people get nervous and start talking.  It doesn't take more than one inadvertent slip-up to nail yourself or someone else, a slip up that would have been avoided if the right to remain silent was invoked.

If you insist on speaking - which, however, is a common and unfortunate side-effect of alcohol -  please say these simple words:  "I would like to speak to my lawyer please."  Then say nothing else.  

You have a constitutional right to a lawyer.  In addition, once you have asked for your lawyer all interrogation MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE!  If a LE representative talks to you after you have requested your lawyer he is violating your constitutionally protected civil rights.  Anything you say to him after that - UNLESS YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A LAWYER - should NOT be allowed into any evidentiary proceeding.  Of course I say "should not" be allowed because you never know what a judge may or may not do. Many do not care how the evidence was obtained and will leave it to you to appeal the adverse ruling if you believe it incorrect (which is a long and expensive procedure).

Therefore, once you have asked for your lawyer don't say another word.  BUT...... if a lawyer has not shown up to speak with you after a reasonable time, the LE may once again speak to you.  At this time you may not be adequately protected by your original request to speak to your lawyer so say nothing again other than "I would like to speak to my lawyer."

Once your lawyer has spoken with you LE may not further interrogate you without (i) your lawyer being present or (ii) you waiving your right to have your lawyer present.  Never, ever agree to waive any rights, either orally or in writing.  They are YOUR rights and you should never give them up.  And please do not believe anyone that tells you that it will be better for you if you just waive your rights and cooperate - something like "It just makes you look guilty by not talking to me and insisting on your attorney." This is not true.  Your refusal to speak or your insistence on your attorney can NOT be used against you in any legal proceeding.  It is neither evidence of guilt nor evidence of innocence - it is just plain smart.

Anyway - that's all for now.  It's definitely enough rantin' and ravin' and I am sure you've all heard it before anyway.  But if anyone has questions feel free to ask and I will reply if I have any idea what I am talking about.  

And yes the above advise applies to DUI arrests as well!

Thank You Mya, very good dective work and very interesting
Please send more of what you found out.
Keep up the good work.
Terri

Here is a link to Arizona Revised Statutes on prostitution. http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=13  
Go to Chapter 32 starting at ARS13-1301 and you can see the laws for yourself.  Take a look at definitions

Actually Mya was not giving any legal advice she was simply posting a thread that was on another board. The original poster was the one drinking the tequila.
