Cops and Escorts

[gilbert]

So, in this day and age how actively do police in different cities try to enforce the laws pertaining to the activities of escorts? Is it something that is basically ignored, so they can concentrate on the more serious issues that are a true threat to the public? Sometimes you see an ad that includes the statement that says that money exchanged is for nonsexual activities only or something like that. Does that hold up with the law? Are there any cities escorts try to avoid, because of police activities?

I would imagine that an escort ad is but one bit of evidence the police use when enforcing the anti-prostitution/solicitation laws. They would also use things that indicate that the escort is offering or agreeing to perform a sex act for money. Just putting a statement in the purported ad alleging that money that is exchanged is just for non-sexual acts would not be a defense when the escort offers or actually performs sex for money.

These things come in waves, usually around re-election time.

 

There are several things an enterprising escort can do to ensure he's kept out of legal trouble, but that disclaimer at the bottom of an ad isn't one of them. That's about as useless as a cock-flavored lollipop at a lesbian convention.

@Benjamin_Nicholas Where can one obtain these “cock-flavored” lollipops of which you speak??

@gilbert, policing by it's very nature is about control and conformity. It's an institution used for centuries by the "haves" to keep the "have nots" in line. Sure there are people dedicated to "doing good" just as there are actually "bad apples who spoil the bunch."

 

As @Benjamin_Nicholas implies, it boils down to the people in power. Is there a police chief or DA or mayor wanting to make a name for themselves? If yes, then that little disclaimer in escort ads won't protect any provider because those "powers that be" want to make a name for themselves and busting some criminal sex workers might be useful.

 

@ArVaGuy, https://bachelorette.com/collections/bacsnac has a large selection of penis shaped candies but I don't believe any are "cock-flavored." I have heard of "penis flavored" treats in Japan a time or two. Perhaps at their famous penis festival? https://www.everfest.com/e/kanamara-matsuri-kawasaki-japan
