Getting caught, Experience and advice.

Good point on the No Tell. I never really know how to find them. I tend to get the hotel first to minimize risk. Do you find the girl, then get the hotel? How do you know they won't call the police on you?

Are they around here? There are so many cheap motels on or by Nebraska like Alaska motel on Hillsborough charges $45/ day. Where I used to live, it was a 3 hour rate at 50-$70. With tinted windows and at night, it is easier to blend in if you are smart about it. The tricky part is where to drop off the SW as marked and unmarked cars usually park and usually chill or stay at a high crime area ybor or Seminole Height, just my. O2 cents.

Thanks DonTrask,

I tried this, I found the one I used well worth the money spent. I'll be incorporating this as you suggest. Very wise and completely different way of approaching the dream than in a low-tinted car LOL.

What blew my mind was:

As for your last point, I always secure the service provider first and then head to the Notel.

I've always been quasi rushed to find a spot. Once I bring up getting a NoTell, it appeared to change the attitude. Am hoping this stays consistent.

I use two methods, one is a Google search (motels in the area of X) and then I will simply call the phone number and ask, do you provide hourly rates? I use my burner phone for that and they will tell you if they do.

The second method and less preferred is to ask the SW; Hey, I looking to be safe, do you have any experience with a local Notel?

If the provider has been on the street for over a month, chances are she knows the local scene and has been to one or more of the local establishments and can quote you rates and a recommendation on which one is the cleanest.

As for your last point, I always secure the service provider first and then head to the Notel. If they are a true Notel, they probably know the provider's street name and at that point, nobody is fooling anybody and they just want the cash. They are happy to get the business and it hardly matters if you brought her there for a game of cards, its not their concern what happens behind closed doors.

My advice stems from the SW situation, I was parked and getting serviced when a cop car rolled up on me. The biggest break of my life is when they told me to dump the girl and get out of town, pronto.

Lessons? After picking up a SW, leave the area altogether, get far enough away from the area that it isn't so obvious why your car is parked on the road. Secondly, don't be the only car parked on a lonely street, ideally, park inbetween two cars so your car is not the last or first in line. Lastly, don't park in front of any residential house or apt. Anybody could walk out at any time and then there you are. It's mostly about being a good neighbor, don't flaunt what you are doing and do your best to blend into where you park your car.

The last bit of advice is not for everyone but I increased my mongering budget to include the hourly rate Notel. That way, I am more relaxed, I get to play and she is not distressed about removing her clothes (even if it's just a BJ), and a better time is had by all. These days, it's rare that I will make it a car date. Above all else, be safe, its a dangerous hobby to begin with so anything you do to lower the risk is a good thing.

I was busted once but it was a very long time ago when I was younger and dumber. I work for myself, so I don't really get background checks. No one has given two shits about it. It's a very minor crime.

Thanks for the post. How did you get caught? What contributed to you not being let go?

Getting by s / o or LEO. Big difference.

As for s / o, my last relationship, I'd cheat really because I just knew that it wasn't right and broke it off (I actually told her that I was cheating why I did it).

My mongering is an open secret among my family and friends. I don't talk about it, but I don't hide it either. And I always make it plain that I think sex work should be legal. My SO is a semi-retired high-end working girl. She's a bit of a hypocrite and would probably be upset, but she'd get over it quickly. (See, in her mind she's not cheating because "it's my job". I actually don't care, but I think I should be able to get some strange, too.).

I practice really good operational security and plan every adventure carefully. I avoid streetwalkers. I know my rights and how to deal with cops. At best it would be an expensive nuisance. I don't want to get busted again, but if I did I'd probably just shrug my shoulders, since I cannot be embarrassed by it.

A break away off my thread in St. Petersburg, I'd like to get experiences from people who were ran through the process and their recommendations to others.

TL; DR of the original thread located here: St. Pete Getting Caught thread.

We all understand and know of the 21 Rules to Mongering and many of the strong near-rules of the experienced users, but there's just not much of what happened when you got caught. Thinking back, what would you have done differently? Did you get surprised by something you thought wouldn't happen? What was the process like? Anything really.

I've posted my experiences in the GTA and other parts of the US in the link and will continue to do so, would love to get any more info and will add to this thread here as well.
