What the hell were they doing last night?
Been out of the SW game for a little while after hittin the AMP's a bit. Was needing something quick last night and didn't have much to spare so off I went to good ol Sully. Drove around for quite a while but could barely spot anything I wanted and whenever I did I always missed the pick. For any of you out what the hell were they doing just past the UDF? Had half the street blocked off and it seemed like they were letting off pressure in the gas lines or something. Smelled like shit. Cruised all over Cbus because I like exploring a bit. Cleveland Ave. Was dead and I usually don't go for a BSW but I was pretty tired and would pick anything. Went down to the bottoms and stopped for some smokes. Saw a girl in there that had the walker kit on. Rainbow dyed hair and a septum piercing. I would have killed to get ahold of that one. (Anyone got any info don't hesitate to share. Ended up headin back up to the UDF and picked up a BSW named Kat. Probly about 5 ft 5, dark hair, average body, glasses. We pulled out turned a corner and off she went with a BBBJ. Good technique. Great DT. She didn't even negotiate beforehand. Just went for it. Gave her 30 then dropped her back off. If anybody has any info on that rainbow girl let me know. I'm a sucker for the alternative girls / nerdy ones.
Uncle LEO might just be Aunt LEO now.
LEO in Columbus has moved to dressing as transvestites.
I picked up a gal this past week and had someone trying to get in the car.
Right away she jumped in and I went down the street only to get pulled over.
I was easy going. They had nothing to charge me with. I told Brittany she better drop anything out of the car before we pulled out of the alley because we were going to get pulled over. And she did.
LEO demanded to search my vehicle. To which I asked a number of simple questions:
1. On what basis do you have to request permission to search my vehicle: they stated because the vehicle was in a known drug area. I told them that this is NOT a good enough reason and refused. I would not only NOT give permission.
2. I was then informed they had probable cause to search my vehicle as I was misleading in my answers. I asked them to notify a supervisor and let them know at this time ALL conversations were recorded and that my vehicle itself has an external and internal recording device. Furthermore I would challenge ANY search as up to this time I was only asked 3 questions.
A: Identification / name / address / dob.
B: What I was doing in the area.
C: Did I know that it was a uniformed officer dressed as a Transvestite I just tried to pick up.
3. I informed them the questions they asked me were answered within my 5th amendment rights. Period and I would not only challenge a search in court. But would also pull ALL other arrests as well as their officer notes and record for any other searches performed within the last 5 years. I also let them know that I was able to, along with my dash cam able to prove I did not attempt to pick up anyone dressed as a transvestite as they knocked on my window and I waived them away. When they knocked again I told them I was not interested and it was at this time the person who I was picking up got into the vehicle. There is No Law against picking up a friend and driving out of the area. Especially if I was going to drive the friend to a treatment facility. If there was. I would like to know the ordinance as I would personally challenge it in court.
4. When asked if I was a member of the Bar Association I politely told them as an officer of the court. They should need not worry about my position, my career as well as any camera or recording being used as well as broadcast to or servers in real time.
5. When a supervisor. Along with the Helicopter etc arrived I was asked to get out of the vehicle. My answer was as follows: "I am willing to comply with your lawful orders, however, I need to know Am I being detained and if so is it for a lawful purpose. ".
6. The supervisor let me know I was being detained so they could investigate a crime. I told the Supervisor what transpired. And also I repeated my request to know what charge if any, as well as giving him notification I was not only recording but also transmitting the recording online. I asked the Supervisor if he was able to define the legal term entrapment.
It was at this time the supervisor handed me back my Identification and wished me a good night.
During the entire incident I was polite as possible. I was stern. I did not raise my voice. But I did remind the original officer that his language in the incident, cursing and such was more than just uncalled for and I would be requesting an entry into his personal file. I asked permission to reach into my glove box to grab something. And was told that was fine.
I handed the officers a few bible tracts. Their faces were very confused.
With backpage shutting down, Craigs list also going offline. I expect sites like this perhaps to follow.
In the meantime. LEO is really starting to crack down.
