On December 7, 2010, members of the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Vice Unit received a prostitution complaint from the management of a hotel located near BWI Airport in Linthicum, Maryland.


An investigation into the complaint was initiated and it was learned that there were two females working as prostitutes in the hotel on different floors. Surveillance was set up and several potential clients were observed entering the hotel. Further investigation indicated that the prostitutes were advertising on internet ads posted on Baltimorebackpage.com. The Vice Unit was able to obtain search and seizure warrants for the hotel rooms being utilized by the prostitutes. The search and seizure warrants were executed by members of the Police Departments Special Enforcement Section and the Special Operations Section.



The following property was seized during the investigation: five cell phones, one laptop computer and approximately $3,811 in U.S. currency.

Why would the hotel management file a complaint, hotel occupentacy is WAY down.  If there was a noise issue, which I would doubt, move them to another room, maybe next to each other.  Futhermore, the issue of a boatload of police cars in front of your business is not good.  To the hotel manager in the words of the great Donald Trump "Your Fired".  If this happened on "The Appentice" he would be disappointed if they did not collect 20% of the take.

and I find it striking that some on this board will jump to the defense of the perps regardless. On other boards around the country I seen folks be a little more discriminating and condemn pimps. Here, people are more likely to close their eyes and pretend it's not a problem.

one of those standard questions they politely ask you when you check in,

" will you be trafficking while you are staying with us, sir?"
"no ma'am,"
"we have a special floor for those that traffic, with only a 50% surcharge, we can bill that to your home address"
"oh, well in that case!!"


like smoking, or non smoking!

But aren't the SOBE girls working out of MOCO?  I know it's not AA but all things MD seem a little hot right now.

Hell I don't even want to fly out of BWI! Might get tempted to stop off on the way to the airport....

You're trying to use rational common sense to those in the grip of mob psychology with a heavy topping of Chicken little syndrome.

What the hell are you thinking ?

How about you and I go back to business and usual and find something to fight about... anything.. please !!!

The fact you and I agree on something is well..... disconcerting if unnatural....   eeeeeu !

Next you, me, hound dog and a few others will end up holding hands and start singing kumbaya

Dude!  What are you talking about?  You're the bomb.  A personal hero.  An uncommon voice of reason in an otherwise chaotic mess.  I'm totally serious.

I actually don't recall any sparring with you, but if I did, you probably started it.  ;-)

All the best, Lee.

It is just harder to find them on the gov. sites but if you know where to look, you will actually find more arrests in VA and DC than you find in MD.

MD has adopted a policy of going public with the news about it, DC and NVA have not.

Although many might think MD is a hot now, I argue that NVA and DC is hotter as they do get the girls/pimps and don't say anything to the press about it

A few months ago a well known hotel in DC worked with LE and they caught over 20 hobbiest in a sting. They even had the patty wagon in the back of the hotel and loaded them up as they caught them.

I know about one of the sites you are talking about for Virginia. For some reason they are not keeping it up to date. The one county where they get the data from is purging their info on a regular basis. They outed a bunch of guys last year in the fall of 2009. This resulted in hobby activity moving across the Potomac to Maryland. The number of arrests in Maryland since August of 2010 is unprecedented, more than 200 people have been busted in counties around DC and Baltimore.

I also heard about that hotel in DC it brings shivers to my spine when I heard about what happened. I know one provider who got busted in that one of the DC stings.

I know the paranoia has been high lately....but for some high profile hobbiests....that's enough for us to truly go underground....boards are nice and all for sharing info...but when we get busted...no one on the board is there to help....it's basically SOL for you bud!

I stay the heck outta of NOVA now and never went to MD....mainly b/c the calibur of BWI gals were low...I miss the usual agencies and independents I used to frequent.

But now business takes me to Europe and Canada a lot and there are no such rules/issues etc...

I recommed for other high profile hobbiests to do the same...the risk for family if you have any is high...but at the end of the day it might mean your job/career/future...just not worth it...a multi-million dollar contract to me trumps a 1h session with a hot chick any day!

I've seen many posts here warning against hobbying in MoCo. But there have been arrests in NoVA and DC as well. There are regular outcall stings in DC and NoVA to catch providers. And you all know about the NoVA busts less than 2 months ago of two Asian agencies where all their locations were raided in a concerted effort.

Operation “SAFE STAY”

Over the past six months, (June 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010), detectives assigned
to the Special Enforcement Section conducted multiple investigations with the common purpose
of reducing illegal activity occurring in and around Anne Arundel County hotels and motels. The
investigations were encompassed under Operation “SAFE STAY” and had the goal of
specifically targeting hotel and motel occupants in Anne Arundel County, who are utilizing these
establishments to conduct illegal activity such as narcotics trafficking and prostitution. Hotels
and motels can be places of opportunity for a variety of illicit activities because those involved in
criminal activity find a sense of security in the anonymity provided by staying at these
establishments. Detectives worked with hotel and motel management and staff to educate them
on what signs to look for and how to greater assist police in combating illegal activity. The
ultimate objective is to provide a higher level of safety and security for visitors to Anne Arundel
County.

Detectives worked with the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation Task Force on several successful operations. These
operations include Operation “ESCAPE”, which provides an avenue of escape to individuals
forced into prostitution, and Operation “Cross Country”, which is a nationwide effort aimed at
combating the sex trafficking of children.
During the course of the investigation, detectives executed eight search warrants and
conducted 12 Prostitution and Human Trafficking operations along with several drug interdiction
initiatives at a total of 14 hotels and motels in the Laurel and North County areas. A total of 35
adult suspects were arrested.

Ongoing investigations continue....

From AA County, MD LE press release 12/9/2010.

This is typical government BS. Funds are authorized to go after the exploitation of  women and children pressesd into prostitution and is used to pursue drug cases and concentual prostitution. Out of the 31 suspects presented in the press release only three were charged with trafficking minors. There were 15 drug suspects and 13 prostitution suspects ( the youngest being 28 yr. old).
  When you figure that there  were FBI, MSP, and AACoPD agents and officers, support staff, and prosecutors involed in this investigation and all that was yielded were three arrests for the crimes that this investigation was purportedly pursuing this was a dud. This release was a misrepresentation of purpose and the investigation a misappropriation of funds. If any private enterprise operated this way they'ld be nailed to the wall.

Two things; First, do a search on Police sting operations, or similar and guess what?  Cops all over the country  are wasting money this way.  Second; buy a bug detector and use it!  In todays world, no cop would leave home without his wire.  There are devices available that can detect any radiation from a police bug and are reasonably priced.  Mine works just fine.  Choose wisely....
