General Reports

[QUOTE=LuccaMac;6998836]Yes, I agree. I am hesitant with the mix of surveillance and "vetting" used by the traveling asian companies. Ring camera, histories are in High Resolution and there is no telling who else can see the feeds. Feels as if that is a perfect mix to blackmail, or at least get your ass put under significant legal duress. I will not agree to provide, IDs, real work information nor pay any deposit. It is just not worth the risk right now IMO until the laws are sorted out.[/QUOTE]That has always been my rule even before learning about the new law. I'm not giving any of them any real information for any reason.

Hi anyone see heather by the Rdu.

She came last month then couple weeks ago but now she doesn't respond any info thanks guys.

I am wondering if anyone finds the CL forum to be useful at all (last post on that forum is from 2021), or does Craigs List not work for anyone in RTP area?

Saw an ad for:

SG.

SG.[/QUOTE]If you email her she asks you to go to a website to "verify" yourself before she sends you the address. Also, the pictures attached to the email are of another girl LOL.

[QUOTE=Emeralddragon6;6998744]What videos? I tried searching and found nothing but saw it on public records. Weird.[/QUOTE]The videos are on airbnb FB pages.

Does anyone know where to get the after court updates?

Curious if a person gets releases or dropped / reduced charges.

I am an over thinker, I was wondering if LE can accuse you of a felony for something that you did before that act was a felony. Let's say they have evidence that you were mongering before Dec 1 but are waiting for the misdemeanor to become a felony and then bring the charges against you. Would that be legal or even possible??

Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 (with respect to federal laws) and Article 1, Section 10 (with respect to state laws).

I see this advice constantly. I don't know why you all think the legal system is designed so that if you don't say some "magic" word -you won't get arrested and charged just the same. And that is enough to ruin your reputation or relationship just the same. Explain to a SO how you got arrested by accident, oh and BTW. Can you pick up my car from the Marriott parking lot. Oh and also come pay my bail?

If it is a sting and you show up at the house / hotel / motel. You are getting arrested; no questions asked. Not to mention a warrant against your phone will show them everything they need to know (when you contacted, where you originally contacted from, your GPS location to show how you arrived, they can definitely pull up deleted texts, and they can probably pull up and texts in deleted apps).

And when you get to a judge and try to argue that "No no no your Honor, I was there to buy cookies". They will roll their eyes and fine you and/or lock you up just the same.

There is no way to be in this hobby and be 100% immune from the police. Instead the goal is to avoid being robbed or injured / killed or "identified" by these professional ****** and their pimps and then they inject themselves into your personal life past the 30 minutes you paid for.

Up until now we've all been on the misdemeanor posture. What this really means is that they're going to try to get you to tell on yourself or just charge you anyway, knowing they might not get a conviction but create some disruption in your life (as you communicated). Make information difficult enough to get and you just might get through it. Probably the biggest change we have to get ready for is the 4 mos-1 year mandatory jail time felony. They're going to fund lots more investigative hours to getting you. One of the changes that's flown under the radar is their modification to what 'solicitation' is in this state now. You only now need communication and 'intent'. Specifically in the verbiage it says that intent can be 'driving to the location' or 'withdrawing money from an ATM'. So, expect to have them pull a warrant for your bank records. They can present this warrant electronically to your bank and they'll get the records faster than you are notified by your bank. Your SO will be notified of this, just like you will be. Every single person that intends to continue with this hobby after 12/1 will need to completely up their game.

It sounds like if they want to get you, you're done. I bet they start this new law out with a bang. They are going to try and send a message. I bet they start using escorts as informants on a regular basis. I think I know my strategy, but probably won't be taking many chances for a while starting on 12/1.

I was curious as to how it affected things there. I roamed around the Texas boards a bit and they seem to have very little activity from a posting perspective.
