I have no doubt this has been covered in the past but I wanted to ask the board members...

What are some good ways to check if a provider could be possible LE or are there any key indicators in their ads other than the email only contact? (Dog mentioned the last one as a sketchy thing), I really don't want to get cuffed unless I ask for it...

Thanks in advance.

I'd be kind of shocked if cops actually pose as TS providers.  The market/demand is so much smaller that it seems hardly worth it.

Beard stubble?  Awww, just kidding.  I agree with Amy, it's doubtful at best.  However, it is possible that a provider gets turned to the dark side of the force (that's the police force).

About six months ago, on th news in my city, the news channel had a top story about LE fabricating things to create people to break the law.....this instance, a young very very good college boy was horny as hell and surfing CL. He found a girl who would have sex with him for party fun.  Well, he was not that type but found it, showed up and got arrested.  Thats wrong, so I say always be cautious.  The above is crooked and not right, done only to increase revenues for the city and pay for the Michael Jackson funeral  ha ha, its really not far from the truth.

Based on the anecdote that particular kid got screwed over by a dumb mistake but it's also worth taking into consideration that genuine drug dealers of all stripes are typically very willing to trade drugs for sex so posting that kind of fishing ad is very likely to snag real dealers which has the potential to lead up the narcotics chain which looks good for the police in a way that prostitution/solicitation arrests don't.  

Despite the fact that LE can be pretty crooked it doesn't make much sense for the po-po to pose as a transsexual for any reason(drugs or sex) when it might net 2-5 busts in a day and a priced right ad from a non-ts female could probably net 15-25 in few hours.

Granted It's good to be cautious and never let your guard down but I think gentlemen that patronize TS girls are much safer from legal issues then gentleman that patronize non-ts girls.

Just my two cents
