News and Media Reports

While its not used out there much, I do see reference to verifying travelers quite often. Sad to see it go, great tool for both sides of this.

Maybe that, combined with a passcode and a remote kill switch, could minimize at least one of the issues surrounding a brush with LEO.

Makes me wonder if the recent neutering of Naughty Reviews was related? Perhaps they got wind of trouble brewing?

I also wonder if the RB folks hadn't gotten greedy, and had paid their taxes normally, then maybe they wouldn't have set off red flags?

-Jeepster1.[/QUOTE]A few years back, I was traveling to SF on a semi regular basis on business, and RB was hands down the go-to site. For a while, I would check it almost daily. It always provided reliable info, no matter if you were looking for an escort, AMP, sure-thing extras in a strip club (one of my favorite activities out there, LOL), live sex shows when those still existed, SWs (never my thing) and just about any kind of commercial sex activity imaginable. That town had it all, and pretty much still does, as best I could tell based on my last visit, though not quite as much in the open as it once was. RB never failed to give me a real good idea what to expect at the many venues of debauchery out there, how much to expect to pay, and who / what / where to stay away from. I would have missed a lot of fun without it. Very sorry to see it go.

Seeing as Google is based in SF, it would appear that they have taken the opportunity to remove most all of the references from their web page "cashe".

Hardly any reference to providers or 411 related to RB has disappeared.

To those that take the news reports as "gospel". Fox news network must be completely, fairly and accurately report EVERYTHING, huh.

Some notables.

Or something along those lines. 9 k is a lot of retribution. One chick certainly is BP recognizable from her mug shot, not sure about the other. More proof that the times are tough and you got to be careful.

The first was bringing them into his friggin' sister's house. As I have said before, no way, no how will I ever host any provider in my home (or the home of somebody I know). Too many things can go wrong on too many levels. This guy just brought new meaning to Tiitty Mc's phrase "fool service."

But probably fake DL's are rampant. I would presume you're still completely up the creek if you do your due diligence but Miss 17 flashes a fake?

Also, about the definition of "a prostitute with an intellectual disability": Do we need to administer Wonderlic tests now? Moral of this story: No BJ's from Vince Young.

Even more concerning. There are two versions working threw both sides of the house. If passed as is, "SAVE, with its focus on web platforms like [URL]Backpage.com[/URL] that offers sexual services and personal ads, would make it a federal crime to host an advertisement that "facilitates or is designed to facilitate" sex acts with anyone under 18 years old. ".

[U]Sounds like a great idea, right?[/U][B] WRONG!!
Tell me which provider is willing to give up their personal information, Real CC info to be kept on file "somewhere" for 7+ years? Tell me which website wants to be legally on the hook?[/B].

The bill introduces extensive requirements, similar to the 18 USA see. 2257 record keeping rules for adult producers, that would broadly implicate advertising network service providers, including third-party brokers of online or wireless advertising who offer banners, sponsorship's, email, keyword searches and slotting fees.

Hosts of online adult ads would be required to review ads before publication and obtain a government-issued photo I'd from the person who created the ads and any people appearing in them.

The piece of legislation also would require a valid telephone number and credit card number from those persons and "prohibit the use of euphemisms and code words" in ads, as well as outlaw the use of prepaid debit cards or crypto-currencies in placing paid ads.

Record keeping of those individuals would need to be maintained for a minimum of seven years and operators would have to make them "available to the USA Attorney General, any designee of the Attorney General, the attorney general of a state, and any designee of the attorney general of a state for inspection at all reasonable times. ".

Failure to maintain records or making false entries would result in five-year sentences and fines starting at $250,000 per violation. Repeat offenders could get up to 15 years and $500,000 fines.
