and some old unbusted hobbyists (moi, for example), but there are no old, bold, unbusted hobbyists.
List to GG's advice, and play safe.
By the way, good move to check out the back of the house first. Not the first time I've heard that story.
Also, if a provider ever asks what kind of car you are driving, hang up. That is an LE tip off. With that info, LE can pursue you and pull you over. You might not get busted, but they'll put the fear of God in you.
I've found many providers on Backpage that I would like to visit with. The problem is I am worried about walking into a sting. How can I prevent that when setting up the date. I once visited a provider and followed her instructions to her place. Low and behold I drove around the back of the building to find 2 squad cars on both ends tucked under shade facing the doorway of the building. I drove right through playing like I was lost. The provider never called me back. Should I ask the provider to strip naked first or have her grab my dick etc?
The reality is, there is no "LE check" that will keep you out of jail in the case of a sting.
The only way to eliminate 99% of the risk of seeing providers that could be LE is to stick to "well reviewed" providers.
I would further suggest you check out the newbie board, there is a LOT of helpful information there and virtually every question you can think of has already been asked and answered.
PLEASE do yourself a favor if you want to stay out of jail, do NOT see unreviewed providers you have found off of BP. You might get away with it for weeks, months or even years, but eventually you ARE going to walk into a sting. OTOH, I have been seeing hookers for 43 years now and have never been arrested for it and as long as you are smart about it, you too can do this forever without ever encountering LE
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
obvious solution. Law Enforcement MOST OFTEN uses BP and CL to set up hobbyists AND providers for a bust. You just need to find your providers on a more reputable site.
Plus, if you move upmarket a little, you will get to experience a provider who's performance is an 8 or 9 even if it means one or two less sessions a month. You will thank me later.

but in smaller cities and towns sometimes there is no other option than BP.
In that case he can either go without, or find his providers on BP, but vett them through their reviews, if any.
I now live in a small city where BP is the only option, and none of the providers I have found on BP have reviews ANYWHERE. Even though I have been doing this for decades and I have a LOT of experience filtering through obvious bullshit and likely sting ads, I am perfectly aware that seeing unreviewed BP hookers is almost certainly going to end badly, it's the reason I now get most of my action from the Sugar Bowl and I only see hookers when in "the big city" which is maybe once a week. I suppose most guys could live with "once a week" but cutting back from once a day to once a week is simply not an acceptable option for me, but then neither is getting robbed or arrested. lol
So its safe to say the well reviewed providers on TER are typically good to go if they have plenty of reviews. I was told to ask for a massage at first, or have them take their clothes off. Because a cop will not strip down naked for you while her peers are watching or ready to storm in.
If you walk into a sting, the type that are all too common on BP, it's too late. Just being there, having answered an ad for prostitution with the donation in your pocket is more than enough for an arrest.
Yes, it may help you if and when your case goes to trial if you never say anything about sex for money, etc etc etc, but once you are in the room with LE is pretty much a given that you are going to jail.
The best way to stay out of jail is to NEVER be in the same room with LE in the first place and seeing "well reviewed" providers will cut that risk down by 99.9%
LE knows full well why you are in that sting room and they are not above making shit up. They are there to arrest you and have some fun doing it. The other problem with BP and CL is having your Rolex vanish.
...so they're going to arrest as many as they can to justify the costs of the sting. Cops don't worry about the prosecutor's conviction stats - that's their problem.
You just have to be in the vicinity of the sting to get arrested. "Lurking with intent" is an actual arrest justification as reported in booking documents. I don't know if that guy got convicted of anything, but his name ended up in the paper and an arrest went on his record.
He doesn't need to find providers "on a more reputable site," he just needs to verify they are legit and he can do so right here at good ol' TER.
Are you new here?
TER is NOT the dominant review board in most of "flyover territory" where BP is about the only place to find providers.
It's important that the lady have reviews "somewhere" it does not necessarily have to be TER reviews.
CDL, I know you are a "hobby snob" and you live in an area with literally thousands of hookers, not everyone has the options you do in So Cal, and the guy is looking for advice that's actually useful, telling him to "look elsewhere" when there is no "elsewhere" in many towns is not helpful.
I agree with you GaGambler.
I do not have much of a presence on TER. However I do on other boards. I am hoping to build that up though. I have some here on TER, but they are old.
I would suggest checking out provider websites (if they have them) and other boards to verify that they are in fact legit and safe to see. Some providers do post links to their reviews on their websites, I know I do, so that people can read and know that I am legit.
I've been a provider now for 7 years on and off and I haven't had an issue YTD and I plan on continuing that way. I have a No Screening.....No Appointment policy and it's kept me safe and out of trouble all these years. I can't afford any mishaps. You have a personal life to conceal and keep safe as well, so you should screen as well. Don't gamble.
Unlike Sasha below who only has a single review to her credit and doesn't even have a web site. I feel that you more than pass the "credibility test"
I don't need to see dozens of reviews and a gap in reviews of months or even years doesn't bother me. Everything about your online presence says "legit" Sasha may very well be 100% legit and I certainly believe her to be so, but I would NOT suggest a newbie see her until she gains a bit more credibility while I would not dissuade a newbie from seeing you if he liked what he saw. I know a lot of TER vets will disagree, wanting to see several "recent" reviews by credible reviewers before giving the green light, but I don't necessarily live by their rules.
I agree with you. I like to see a few reviews and a recent body of work to show some level of activity. An one line presence helps too.
Why thank you! I don't feel so bad anymore. 
I sometimes forget there may only be one hooker in Moose Turd, Montana. You know, the one with no teeth. OTOH, I probably shouldn't be knocking a "gum-job" until I've tried one, right?
I live in a town similar to Moose Turd. I don't make it to the "big city" very often any more. There are only about six hookers living within 2,000 square miles, half of whom I don't see based on personal preference (one busy with her kid most of the time, and the other is often traveling to the "big city" furthering her "business" interests there is a much larger market. It's the occasional traveling gal who sets up in a motel on the Interstate that I'm interested in. Its hard to get info for those gals out here in the sticks. I check them on TER and other sources with their phone numbers and names, but the result is usually zilch. It is scary when there is no way to check. I usually don't pull the trigger. BTW, @coeur-de-lion, I've had a "gum-job" from a young lady who lost her front teeth in a car crash. I didn't know that in advance of our meeting--don't know if I would have scheduled had I known, but the sensation was most interesting--much more of an oral "vagina" feeling. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
I have yet to be caught but was stopped one time in an area where there are a lot of hookers on the streets (at that time) on Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas, Texas. Fortunately I had a good excuse-I was to meet with a new client who's business was on that street the next morning-I had no idea where it was-so I was locating it the night before. I even had his address in my planner. So if you are in an area-be on the look out for undercover and marked police cars-just as you did in the situation you described.
Go there if possible at least an hour before your appointed time to scope it out (If a hotel-the gal may not give you the room number until you are there-but almost all will tell you the property they are in-you got to be able to find that -it is very reasonable to ask-if she won't tell you-my suspicions would be aroused !
Cops are pretty clever-but their undercover vehicles often look like undercover cop cars ! So be alert ! If something really concerns you-leave !!
Just be and stay alert !! Look for people in cars in the parking lot-look for people out of place.....Be alert and Stay Alert !

It used to be the place for street walkers id Dallas back in the pre internet days.
I have been down there a few times in recent years, mainly to go for Korean food as "K-town" is right up the street from where the street walkers used to word some thirty years ago, and I haven't seen a SW in sight. There are a lot of AMP and Strip clubs in the area though.
and some old unbusted hobbyists (moi, for example), but there are no old, bold, unbusted hobbyists.

There are some very legitimate reasons for a lady to ask what kind of car you drive and it's not an uncommon question that is asked. If he hangs up on every woman who asks that question he could be passing on some very lovely, (and safe) women.
A lot of women will direct you to a parking lot that they can view from their window, and watch you pull up and get out from the safety of their room or apartment before giving you their exact location, just in case four of you get out of the car. lol
I remember another Korean provider who wouldn't see fat guys would always watch out her window to see if the guy was "height weight proportionate" I guess if he was a fat ass she wouldn't answer her door. lol
I do agree about "old, bold, unbusted hobbyists" being overly cavalier about seeing unreviewed BP hookers WILL catch up to you "someday" it's not a matter of "if" it's only a matter of "when" taking those kind of risks in today's environment
provider visits are apartment incalls, I can agree that its not uncommon to be observed out a window as you're parking and getting out of your car. If anything doesn't look right, they won't give you the apartment number, and you're not going to just go knocking on doors until you find a hooker.
One girl I used to see that worked from her residence had a CCTV camera mounted on her garage and instructed you to park in the driveway, so she could get a good look at you before answering the door. A little disconcerting for the hobbyist on the first visit to think you are being recorded, but its totally understandable since she lives in the house full time.
