17 arrested in Nebraska Ave sting
Police took on the city's most notorious prostitution drag this weekend, in a two-day sting that nabbed 17 men on charges ranging from soliciting another to commit prostitution to drugs to possession of stolen firearms.
Tampa Police Department's street anti-crime squad targeted the area of N Nebraska Avenue and E Emily Street in Southeast Seminole Heights on Friday and Saturday nights. Lt. Diane Hobkey-Burney said police conduct these types of stings in response to heightened complaints from neighbors.

One of those arrested was 73. Damn 73 years old! I'm sure that all of greater Tampa is feeling safer this morning.
Alittle "Snow" on Nebraska Ave today!
A month ago I was lucky to get familiar with a gem named "Snow" on a early morning Nebraska run. You know. Once in a blue moon a gem pops up!
Well luck has it today was another "Snow" day on Nebraska and Sligh.
I've been at this hobby for some time now and "Snow" is at the top of the list for SW.
Very pleasing, always smiling!
I'm hoping the digits are real and the phone stays paid for.
If you ever see this. Make a quick U. She doesn't last long out in the open!
Here's the "Snow" bio.

Snow better in the flesh!
Casey you are so right about her in person. Enjoyed your report previously when she was pregnant. I think I would of enjoyed FS with a pregnant Snow!
She is the only SW that when I gave a tip(.05) said "You really don't have to do that...I'm OK with the .20". Amazing! Where do you get that?
[QUOTE=Casey3939]I have reported on snow in the past. Much cuter in person than her hcso glamour shot. Don't know about digits being good, but she always stays at the same place with her mom and aunt. Always a good time.[/QUOTE]
Nebraska - same areas tonight at 9 pm
[QUOTE=Casey3939]Hope I wasn't the only one who took advantage of the fair weather last nite, because Tampa was HOPPING! I don't know what time the fun started, but I got to Nebraska about 11:00 and there was all kinds of new talent. Starting north. At 140, there were 6 WSW on the corner, a half dozen more BSW in toward 15st and one hsw. The only one I recognized was one of the blondes. Mid 30's with NO ass whatsoever, so I have never met her. The others were all fresh. Down to 124th. Probably 7-8wsw and a couple BSW. All fresh except for the older cracked out blonde (think her name is Gail). Not much to look at, but a little birdie told me she gives a nice, deep BBBJCIM. 5-6 fresh faces north of Busch. A slender brunette with huge ta ta's for anybody who likes those. Down by the track, just saw one WSW. Initially thought it was Snow with straight hair, but it wasn't, went by too quick for good look, but think she was cute. Never saw her again later. Further south, saw a few scattered in front of the notels. South of Hillsborough had a couple new faces, but lots of leo activity. I'm telling you, I was in option paralysis for a while. Ended up dreaming of a young blonde by name of Christina at 124 and 15st. Very cute little body, maybe 5'2" and a buck ten. She has a tat of 2 dolphins swimming around her belly button. Every thing is on the menu. Got her digits because I would like to hook her up on craigslist, but when I called them later, it was disconnected. Not sure what to make of that, she was certainly in a hurry to wake up from her dream and go find some rock. No physical effects of that yet, but unfortunately that won't last. Anyway, by 12:30, it was a ghost town. Hope I wasn't the only one having good dreams in Tampa. Take care.[/QUOTE]
It was deader than a door nail. I guess the time of day really matters.
Nebraska - 12/13/08 Report
Decided to make an early morning run, 7am. A little chilly, but with a hot cup of coffee in hand I entered on Nebraska and Bears. Bingo. The first 5mins of my adventure, right at the turn and before 142nd I met up with a cold and shivering SW named Jaimie.
BBBJ for. 20 however she insisted on no CIM. I showed her the door and told her to keep warm! She thought about it and decided on taking the CIM as long as she could spit. Thats fine but I made it clear she was not to spill a drop during the BJ.
Here's her bio;

That's what I saw at the Dollar store on Nebraska
[QUOTE=J Melbourne27]The Drug dealers, Strip Club owners, and Pimps need to come together and figure out an addictive drug that isn't so hard on the girls and sell that to the girls exclusively.
I've seen some drug addicts that look like the undead.[/QUOTE]
I wonder what they sell there? Haha
Did you see arrest record?

She's nice looking. Did you notice that her arrest record has both prostitution, possession of cocaine and drug paraphanalia and driving with a suspended license on the same day? Sounds like LEO is now checking cars, car contents and driver's licenses at each arrest. Someone must have decided to pile on every possible charge on every arrest. This really increases the chances that a provider may be working a deal with LEO to entrap hobbyists. Hobbyists be careful out there!
You have a very good point
We have all watched cops and how They do the quickie street stings. You were right on the money with not discussing anything through an open window, perhaps seeking news archives of how they do the hotel stings and others might be adviseable. Perhaps a good looking into what types of recording devices, a bit of counter intellegence might be the answer to your question, jmho here.
On a related note rather scary
Just something to think about here. Got it off the news feed of gotfolks,quite informative national hobby related site
[quote]Prostitution sting leads to 104 arrests
By Sara Jean Green
Seattle Times staff reporter
Rented furnishings and hidden cameras were among the props Seattle police vice detectives used to arrest 104 men who showed up at a ritzy downtown condo in the past two weeks expecting to pay for sex.
Nearly three-fourths of the men who were arrested on suspicion of patronizing a prostitute responded to postings in the "erotic services" category on craigslist, the free online community where people can search for apartments, jobs, used cars, friends and dates. The rest answered escort ads found in the back pages of The Stranger and Seattle Weekly.
"We wanted to prove craigslist was in fact a vehicle for promoting prostitution," said Lt. Eric Sano, commander of the Seattle Police Department's vice unit.
Escorts and the agencies that represent them have long argued that clients pay only for the companionship of a beautiful woman, Sano said, "but for the most part, that's not how it works."
The vice unit launched its elaborate investigation after receiving numerous community complaints about prostitutes advertising on craigslist, Sano said.
To test the theory, undercover detectives arranged for escorts to meet them in a downtown hotel room on Oct. 19, Sano said. Detectives arrested seven women and a 16-year-old girl who made clear they expected payment for their sexual services, he said.
Vice detectives then turned their attention to men who, instead of cruising the streets for prostitutes, respond to online and newspaper ads looking for sex, he said. To make their ads believable, Sano said, female detectives were photographed in flirty poses, phone lines were established and appointments were set up.
Police discovered "a complete subculture" where men call themselves "hobbyists" and refer to the women they pay for sex as "providers," Sano said Wednesday, the last night of the undercover operation.
"They all know each other and have their own terminology," he said. There are even several online "review boards" where men rate their experiences and describe a woman's looks and the sex acts she's willing to perform, Sano said.
Craig Newmark, who founded craigslist in San Francisco in 1995, said he has heard that "prostitution is a significant problem" on the Web site and noted that craigslist has built a "top-notch" reputation for responding to complaints of illegal activity.
As for the local craigslist review board where men discuss the sexual exploits they paid for, Newmark said those who operate the site are improperly using the craigslist name and that legal action is being discussed by the Seattle-based law firm representing his site.
Craigslist, which is now available in some 300 cities worldwide, doesn't monitor what people post.
"We are a democracy ... and we find we can trust our community," he said. "I don't know what the situation is like in Seattle, but we would prefer that [police] go after violent criminals or crooked congressmen."
At one point, the Seattle police operation was exposed on the craigslist review board and "we had to quickly scramble to get new photos and phone numbers," Sano said. As they waited for men to call, "we cruised craigslist ourselves" and arrested 14 more women on suspicion of prostitution, he said.
"Every hobbyist knows the going rate is at least $150 an hour for 'full service' — which means intercourse and maybe a massage," he said, noting men also "negotiate for extra services," for instance paying an additional $50 to have sex without a condom.
The response was "absolutely wild," Sano said. Even after female detectives upped their price to $200 an hour as part of a Veterans Day special, "we almost had people triple-booked" for appointments, he said.
When a man arrived at the rented condo, he was greeted at the door and ushered inside, Sano said. As other detectives hid in a bedroom watching live footage from hidden cameras, the female detective, posing as "a provider," would engage in a conversation about sex and collect her fee, he said.
Once money had changed hands, Sano said, other officers would then walk out and arrest the man.
All but five of the men were interviewed, cited and released: One man, a registered sex offender, was booked into the King County Jail for violating conditions of his release, three others were booked on drug violations and another on a weapons charge, Sano said.
Arrestees have included "bank presidents, state employees, business owners, construction workers, physicians and surgeons," Sano said.
Though some may argue that prostitution and patronizing a prostitute — both misdemeanors — are victimless crimes, Sano doesn't see it that way: "No young girl grows up dreaming of doing this. These prostitutes are women who have had a rough life, whether they're addicted to drugs, or they've been abused or they have some pimp forcing them into it.
"It is easy money ... but these women are being exploited and it's degrading," he said. "You should hear what some of these guys have asked our detectives to do — it's disgusting."[/quote]
Take what the Street Gives You
How do you fellow hobbyist deal with starting your troll and seeing a SW right from the start. I usually have to pass on the first because I want to do more shopping and if I take a SW early I feel like I should of waited. Then I kick myself because nothing else pops up.
A fellow hobbyist would always tell me "Take what the Street gives you" and don't be picky.
Advice Appreciated.
