[QUOTE=Forever Det]Fellow Mongers
Was watching the Vice Cops on cable the other day and saw the Wayne County Sherriffs Department setting up a sting with decoys in the golden triangle area. No street signs out but it looked like six mile, telegraph, grand river area. I know the shows can be dated, but it looked pretty recent. I guess we can all learn from L.E. tactics, nothing that hasn't been discussed on the board here.
They took one monger down, and took his car. L.E. on tape were saying he strolled around the block four times before he approached the under cover and solicited her. This guy had his pants down and was masturbating when he stopped to talk to the decoy....Stupid!! Couple things I noticed about the U.C. Operation.
1- Decoy was standing in the street & corner, not walking.
2- Decoy would not get into the guys car.
3- L.E. Cars that stopped the guy were U.C. but looked like cop cars.
Just a few things to look for when strolling, these three are red flags for me. I get out of the area fast if I feel the situation isn't right. Better to be safe, and miss out on something. I can always shop another day. Hope this helps a little.
Be Safe Out There & Keep the Prices Down!

Just to piggy back on what Det wrote, the likelihood of getting pinched when you follow all 22 rules is slim. Most I've talked to indicate their troubles started when they short cutted a rule. Slipped up. Make it a hobby and have some back up digits for a time when you must land something. Mongering should be hit and miss if your doing it right.
