Be careful but not stupid.
I don't know about video but for audio in NC anyone can record a conversation as long as the person recording is a part of that conversation. So the owner of a business couldn't record you and some Asian massage worker unless they were in the room with you. I mean they could do it but it would not be legal to use for prosecution in a court of law. I don't know about video. But I have heard some LEO's say that you could be videoed but no audio on the video would be allowed unless meet said requirements above. So if you're in a room handing a girl some cash then she blows you that's obvious, no audio required.
And I'm not telling you mongers what to do, but if I were in that room and I saw a camera in my room I would leave. Go online and look at all the spy cameras for sale, some are in form of alarm clocks, fire alarms overhead, door coat hangers etc. If I saw any of that stuff around in my room. Leave.
[QUOTE=JoeLooking;4172240]I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure that a business can have cameras without informing customers and I'm guessing that the owner and not the person with the lease has the ability to install security devices. If I understand correctly the police got a warrant to place the cameras so it was nice and legal. Regarding entrapment, putting a camera up and catching people breaking a law is not entrapment. If they would have put in a decoy and essentially asked the guys if they wanted to pay for a HJ then that would be entrapment.
Again I'm not a lawyer but the act of solicitation is a pretty clear thing. Setting up an appointment with someone who advertises as an escort / prostitute is soliciting. Asking if a girl does GFE and how much it is is soliciting. Buying a hooker's time in a whorehouse is soliciting. Asking the lady at the country which of the girls will do a happy ending is solicitation. Putting a massage chicks hand on your dick is not solicitation. Letting a massage chick give you an unprompted hand job and then giving a tip is not soliciting nor is it definitevley pay for the sex act (even workers at massage envy accept tips) so tipping can be seen as customary regardless and an argument can be made that she wasn't asked to do it but there's no law saying you can't let an adult perform a sex act on you if there's no transaction involved..[/QUOTE]
