My dad was an FBI agent, my uncle was the chief of police of a major city and I have another uncle who is a parole officer. I have faith in the police and I have utilized them in my times of need over the years. Most police officers have gone into the field because they want to protect victims and stop criminals. I believe that. Many people seem to have an unrealistic fear of police.
This way of thinking encourages women to be victims.
These guys who bully providers are cowards who think an escort is easy prey for the reasons you mentioned, CDL. By involving the police and showing the guys they are not afraid to ask for help, the guys will often easily disappear! If they don't, then it's time to take the next step.
I have worked hard to build my business. Would you encourage me to just leave because of a coward's bullying? That would be bad advice. the way to stop a bully is to stand up to him.
I'm my case the police simply called the guy and told him to knock it off and he did. If he hadn't, I would have gotten a restraining order. The regular police aren't vice, after all.
I believe an escort asking for a restraining order will absolutely receive one if it's appropriate. Even if they don't do it because they care about doing the right thing, and I think most do, there are protocols in place and they are liable if someone is not protected when they ask for protection. Escorting is NOT illegal, prostitution is. Ladies Might be encouraged to go get a license if they are escorting without a license to make it legal, but I doubt they'd even care that much unless it was a custody dispute or something. I would not hesitate to get a restraining order.
And by the way, p411 feels the same way about this.
