What you are dealing with..........
[QUOTE=Exec Talent]Intimidator: Your phone number was found in the Blackberry[SIZE="1"]®[/SIZE] of a woman arrested for prostitution. What do you make of that?
Intimadatee: Silence
Intimidator: I said what do you make of a prostitute having your phone number?
Intimadatee: Silence
Intimidator: Maybe I should ask your wife.
Intimadatee: Maybe I should ask my lawyer how much I could win in a lawsuit against the sheriff's department and the county for harrassment. Have a nice day. Then hang up.
Remember you are not required to talk with the police or cooperate in any investigation. If you cooperate they will go easy on you is a lie. It will just be an opportunity for you to incriminate yourself.
How many of you have called a girl you never ended up seeing? If contacted, take a deep breath, remain calm and say nothing.[/QUOTE]
Understand who and what your dealing with when you talk about Sheriff Grady Judd. He is an extreme right wing ,bible thumping, Southern Baptist (Meaning the kind of people that are not affiliated with a developed, investigated theology but rather the "fundamentals" developed about 100 yrs. ago) kind of Christian. In his world everything is "Black+White" and mostly white, very reminiscent of "Willis Mccall" the late Sheriff of Lake County.
A couple of years ago there was a Black man who I believe shot a cop and escaped into the woods. the next morning he was found burrowed under a dead tree and was shot to death by deputies. My memories are fuzzy on all the details but I remember the Sheriffs press conference very well. He said and I paraphrase " THE ONLY REASON WE SHOT HIM 88 TIMES IS WE RAN OUT OF AMMUNITION" this gives you some idea of who your dealing with in Polk county.
I imagine any girl who goes to Polk County on an outcall after this is nuts. I think they forget that the CO. line is right below Disney and there are hotels and resorts in that area near the interstate. I'm surprised that Tinaa didn't realize this but unfortunately she knows now.
Sheriffs are also elected so they are politicians and love the press, it was no accident that TV news had all those lovely pictures.
A shout out to Exec Talent for his post, it's worth reading again. The Fifth amendment gives you the right to remain silent (Invoke that right in any contact with the police) so as not to incriminate yourself. The first question a lawyer will ask you is "Did you give a statement" if not his job is much, much easier when he plea bargains with a prosecutor. Since 90% of cases are plea bargained, do yourself a favor and "SHUT UP"---VS
MBI agents arrest five women in Craigslist sex sting
It looks like we also got hit locally - not limited to Polk County:
It took less than 10 seconds for MBI vice Sgt. Samuel Riggi to find a prostitution advertisement on Craigslist.
On Wednesday, online escorts were center stage for Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation agents who worked a sting operation aimed at escorts who charge upward of $200 an hour for their services.
As the crackdown continued into the night, arrested five women for prostitution. Undercover officers captured Jessica Mathis, 20; Malisa McGrady, 26; Aisling Harris, 20; Lindsay Buddenbaum, 22; and Marilyn Negron, 30.

Let's be careful out there!!!
Sorry for the double post
I apologize for the double post. I thought a report about craigslist would go under Craigslist Reviews, but then I saw this thread. Please excuse and mods please feel free to erase the other post.
Here it is in the right area now;
All this abuse by the MBI reminds me of a good story I read once;

Let me also say how important it is to watch yourself not only on boards like craigslist but on boards like this. Interestingly enough just before all the Criagslist arrests were made I received SEVERAL attacking PM's from one member of this site. Each attack was doing their best to goat me into providing information about myself. Not being 12 and already thinking this member is LEO I didn't fall for it. Mainly because I noticed the same thing happen from this member before the last big busts went down. Be careful. Especially of members who try too hard and NEVER give any information to show they participate in any activity other than 100% legal behavior. You'll notice they don't even use a dream. They straight up say they don't partake.
Not trying to out anyone. Just trying to make you think. Maybe I'm paranoid or you can even say I'm an idiot, but better a paranoid idiot than some sap dealing with the law.
