[QUOTE=Sir Duncan; 1590027]First post here but have many years under my belt.
I was reading the recent posts on the SW scene in Manch Vegas and felt I should chime in. I used to be pretty active in this area but not so much recently. One technique uncle LEO likes to use is to watch a john pick up a legit SW and follow them until they get to the private location. John in car thinks everything is dandy be / see SW grabbed his junk. Both get to location and get busy when boom, caught in the act. Bad news.
Secondly, most any SW is addicted to something and has probably been arrested before. The street crimes team works very hard to get these girls to help bag dealers, but they will also use them for stings. Sooo, you may be driving along and see someone who looks ratty enough to be a legit SW, maybe even someone you've picked up before, and she's working for uncle LEO.
I'm not trying to discourage anyone from picking up SW, just don't want anyone to get bagged. Nobody wants that. ItMs a totally different game out there today as opposed to 5 years ago. Trust me, I've been here through it all. It is just a hell of a lot riskier these days.
Be safe all.
SD[/QUOTE]SD, I recognize your handle from the the other board that went away for good, and remember that you were a frequent poster there. I have to disagree with your claim that LE would be using known SW for sting OPs for prostitution, I would find that highly unlikely. I am aware that they may be using anyone as confidential informants, I would think mostly for drug trafficking or robbery / burglary type crimes, but really doubt they would put an SW in the streets as a decoy. Just too risky and liability issues if something went wrong. As far as being followed to the private spot by LE, I am sure they have done that before, but that is rather easily evaded, if you go far out of the zone, and make sure you are not being followed. Even if they caught you in the act, they still have to prove a money exchange, so they would have to separate the 2 of you and try to get her to fess up.
On another note, and more in line with what this forum is for, I did a little cruise through the zone last night (Tuesday) around 11 PM and saw 2 of them out, on Manchester St. The first one was between Union and Beech, she looked fairly small and not bad looking but was bundled up pretty well, she stopped and stood between 2 parked cars and I got a more than obvious look, the second one was between Beech and Maple, she was walking toward Maple, she was walking in the roadway rather than the sidewalk, which is sometimes an indication of SW, but she wasn't quite as obvious, with little or no eye contact. Did not attempt to scoop either, as I am more inclined to just do the window shopping, with an occasional visit to a MP.
