Hi,
  As a newbie, I am getting lots of info from this website. I am still cautious at this point on getting into this new hobby. I need to be more informed, very well informed, and know ALL the nooks and cranies of the trade in order to maximize my safety. Don't want to get busted by LE and ruin my very successful career and possibly marriage.
  According to some members I met in the chat room recently, proclaimed experienced hobbyists, some escorts or escort agencies have ties to LE!!!  They may deliberately let loose a few "fishes" in the hands of LE just to keep themselves off the hook.  This strategy has been commonly practicey by the mafias and drug dealers. They may give up a few clients to the LE just to keep themselves from being busted. Both sides benefit from each other. It is sort of like a secret mutual agreement or symbiotic relationship. Do you all recall the movie "the Training Days" by Damsel Washington? I believe such corruption exists among the LE.  If this is true, a newbie like me will most likely be a sacrificial goat than an experienced well known client. I don't mean to sound paranoid, but I need to be well informed and ensure my own safety. I am just doing my homework...

Damsel Washington...I needed that.  Thanks.  Needed a laugh today badly.

Just start off seeing providers with 10 reviews or more, bubba.  That should solve the problem.  I know too many men and women through TER to doubt them.  Of course, you can't ever be sure of anything in life...

SUCKER!

You must be kidding!  Corrupt LE?  No way.  These guys are in LE because they have higher moral standards than the rest of us.  They are the ones that keep our society turning into a total free for all.   Except for a select few bad apples of course that ruin the rest barrel.  Like Oakland Park, Florida vice squad.  They were video taping their meeting with 16 year old girls from a high school here.  To get a "conviction", they would let the girls perform sexual acts on them after the exchange of money.  The tapes some how slipped out in circulation at some parties.  And what did these guys get?  Jail?  Fines?  Revocation of their police certifications?  No, they had reprimands placed in their files and were removed from the vice squad.  Even as disgusting immoral and negative as I am, if I was meeting with a provider and she was younger than 21 or maybe even 25, I would stop.  And if I learned she was 16, I would have called her parents or gotten her help.  At 16, I believe they are just too young to realize what they are getting theirselves into.  Finally, Kathy Willets got her start in Fort Lauderdale and got busted when a client found her husband taping the encounter from a bedroom closet. When the police viewed the tapes, who did they find on one of them?  The MAYOR of Fort Lauderdale who had lead a crusade against the immoral goings on of Spring Break.  He was also a leader in one of the large churches here.  The police have no shortage of "volunteers" to try to bust up a provider.  They are nothing more than total hypocrites.  The same asshole cop who gives you a speeding ticket will be the same one racing to get to work on time.  And when I called it in, with his car number and descrition of him, it seems he couldn't remember the incident, so nothing was done.Yea, yea, yea, cops are our friends.

You're very astute to figure this out so early in your hobbying career. I usually get popped on average every second or third time, but hey, it's the price one pays.

If you are this paranoid maybe you need to consider another hobby.

Hey guys,

I thought this board was supposed to be supportive and informative.  This "newbie" asked a legit question and I don't think referring to him as "Bubba" or posting otherwise sarcastic notes promotes the purposes of this site.  We all had to start somewhere and we all made mistakes - that's why we're on this board.  Cut the guy some slack....!

Just because you're Paranoid doesn't mean they're not really after You.         As far as a sacrificial Goat,   That's a BBBAAAAAAAAAAADDD  thing to be.!!!

Of course that stuff exists, it always has and always will. You can see it almost daily on TV for god sakes.  But your reading wayyyyyyyyy to much into things.  If you are smart about your hobby activity you will never find yourself confronted with an LE situation in the first place. Do yourself a favor and focus on not being a banana head regarding the ladies you choose to see, where you choose to see them, etc.. That way you'll never find yourself getting your toe nails plucked out with pliers  or battery cables stuck to your nipples by an overzealous cop looking for a promotion!

Stick to well reviewed and established ladies. Don't jump for the phone when an ad pops up on Eros of a fresh new face looking likes she's playboy material and charges half the market rate per hour. Use common sense and don't be so paranoid, you'll be fine.

Yes, the Council of Elders, Skull and Bones and Knights of Templar control the world and through the police control the tootie industry.  Black helicopters drop tooties off on the world's streets corners.

I'm keeping my mouth shut on the rest. My days working with the Dark Side are long over.

I think you are reading way too much into this thoery and a bit paranoid.  If you are concerned about LE, then either seek another hobby or try to see only well establishes ladies with a lot of reviews. This should minimize some of your anxiety.

I would have responded yesterday to the person's questions had it not been for the excellent answer that one poster (PeterPickle) gave him.
    It is interesting how experience or training can breed arrogrance.  Sometimes people seem to loose the capacity to craft an intelligent answer to questions or they simply consider the question stupid.  People with such dispositions should put themselves into the questioner's shoes.
    One of the worst boards, in my opinion, is the Legal Board.  It stuns my how hollow and arrogrant some of the answers can be.

Thank you all for your input, positive or negative. You have ALL answered my question. Like I said I was just doing my homework. I never walk into a deal unless I know everything about it.

You are probably OK seeing extensively reviewed women.  I suppose the really safe thing to do if you're completely paranoid, though, is to leave the country.  You don't even have to go far; no danger of being busted seeing an escort in Toronto, because that's not actually illegal there.  And places where the hobby isn't against the law tend to also have better selection and lower prices.  But if leaving the country is not an option, then I would have to say that if you go with well reviewed women, the other posters are right that you probably have nothing to worry about.

Are you serious? Are you picking up girls on the street or what? Not trying to be rude but you must have the worst luck ever.
