I was a gtg this past weekend with some friends for a kids b-day party. Anyways, a close knit group of us were drinking in the corner and got on the topic of getting busted doing something or being someplace you weren't supposed to be by your SO. It was pretty enlightening, as the following examples are all true occurrences and I wanted to share some stuff with fellow mongers. Especially due to the fact that we may all come under more scrutiny because of the SA article that someone posted earlier.

1) Car getting towed. Car was under wife's name and the only way the towing company would release the car was if the registered owner came to get it. Wife had to go to the tow yard and my friend had to explain why he was at a certain strip club.

2) Parking lot issue. Car was registered jointly (husband and wife) and a surveillance camera pic was sent to the home (which the wife saw first) where the husband may have damaged the parking lot property hitting an object (HPD was called). He was at his FWB's condo.

3) Parking lot issue. Friend was at a known gambling establishment with a jointly owned car, and him and the wife were later contacted by HPD. Luckily, his wife knew he went there.

4) Accident. Friend was taking a bar girl home after she finished work. Someone rear ended them and since the car was jointly owned, it was revealed later that he had a chick in the car with him at the time of the accident since the GF had to go to court too since she was the joint owner of the car (the person who hit him from behind contested the ticket and accident).

5) Accident. Friend was at a certain massage establishment's parking structure with his company car and someone hit the car by accident. Since it was all general parking, the police or the individual could not have known where my friend was, thus they called the registered owner (company) and told them what had happened. Since he was also supposed be at work at the time, and worked for the wife's family, there was a lot of explaining to do.

Moral of the story: Please be careful out there when mongering, because unless you have the car registered solely to yourself and / or a under a different address, there could come a time when your SO finds out something you didn't want her to. This especially worrisome if the cameras at places like CC go active, you get towed from CC or a place like Happiness, of if you innocently get caught up in something you had nothing to do with (wrong time, wrong place). Since most of us use parking passes at CC, it could come back to haunt us since the cameras could catch the plates of cars parked in the specific spots along with the cameras at the parking attendant booth, which could be catching our faces.

BTW, please don't flame me on my post, as it was meant to be purely informational for anyone who wanted to read it. Thanks!

Here is a link to the World Health Orginization's (WHO) position on commercial sex work. The who advocates decriminalization of commercial sex work to protect sex workers from violence.

https://www.who.int/hiv/pub/sti/sex_...swit_chpt2.pdf

Reading articles in the Advertiser and the Maui Police Department's and the HPD's press releases, it is my impression that the reason the police are busting down doors at massage establishments and arresting sex workers is to protect them from being chained to walls, being coerced, and being subject to violence. Unfortunately for the sex workers, it is actions such as the ones the police are taking that make them more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

When is Hawaii going to re-evaluate its laws regarding commercial sex work and set public policy based on facts and public health. The WHO is a legitimate and well respected organization. The WHO advocates decriminalization based on facts and public health. Why aren't Hawaii's law enforcement agencies and newspapers concerned about what is actually in the best interest of these women instead of just going after easy targets or publishing alarmist front page articles to sell newspapers.

The article quotes Tracy Ryan. I know she supports decriminalization. Anyone know if she has an organization or is involved in politics. I would love to make a tax deductable contribution to her cause or vote for her.

Best to keep around the girls you trust. When texting them, just ask if they're available to go out on a "date", and no talking about the dirty deed on the phone. Also best to just appear as a couple having sex in a lovers motel rather than a John with an obvious prostitute in a hotel.

There's a sites out there with info on how to spot undercover cops, and how to avoid getting stung. One advice was to avoid talking about sex and money with your provider. Another piece was to change the location on the last minute (cops are never OK with that).

I wouldn't be surprised if they start posting names of those busted here on Oahu on the news just like what they did with Maui news.

So much for separation of church and state.

Hello. Hawaii House and Senate members. Hello. Council members. Why the fuck does the police department have a morals unit. Sounds like something that North Korea would have. A police department with a morals unit. That's just plain un-American and plain fucked up. What the fuck.

Such a waste of time and energy. They should be going after real crimes instead of trying to catch Johns all day. Stop criminalizing people engaging in consensual sex and publicly humiliating them.

So what happens when one of their own gets caught or one of their relatives? Catch and release? Don't be like the Kealohas now.

Sooner or later LE would focus on mongers. Guess Maui is the low hanging fruit with results easily obtained. Be smart and safe out there. Use common sense. If something seems TGTBT, it is. Stay away (unless you want to see your name and picture on the local newspaper or news broadcast).
