Why Is This So Difficult?
NEVER! EVER! Negotiate through an open window or sitting still in your car!!
Stay safe out there and happy hunting.

Reverse Net and Negotiations
[QUOTE=Nightowl21;5641625]Red flags for reverse stings:
The decoys usually hang out together in packs. They stay anchored in one place (the Baymont / Garnet is a favorite location for stings)...
...I drove around to the 7-11 and parked at the pumps facing the Baymont to watch some more. Dude pulls up inside the roundabout drive through at the Baymont and goes inside to check in. He comes back out pops his minivan hatch and starts unloading his luggage. Here she comes, walking up to him unsolicited. He didn't even look at her or motion to her or anything. They talk for a least 10 minutes, so obviously she is trying to talk him into it repeatedly. Well, it worked, because BAM, swarmed him too. Same scenario as before. Took him into custody and drove his van around the corner. Total BS in my opinion, but there are no entrapment protections in Florida. They will do and say anything to get you to incriminate yourself. DON'T DO IT! It's not worth the consequences. Sorry so long, but hope this helps. Stay safe![/QUOTE]Looking at the Resort Roster, I don't think it's too hard to figure out which one was the possible Businessman that was checking into the hotel when Uncle came calling. I mirror what NCHunter said. Never negotiate through a window. In fact, never negotiate in any outdoor setting where you are not 100% certain of your full surroundings. Read the rules of mongering, follow them, stay safe.
That "no negotiate" rule is just as an important rule as never paying any provider in advance.

Stings on Both Sides of the Fence
Along with the 14 guys gathered up in the Stings, mostly in the OQ area, over the past week. Roughly 10 of the lovely ladies were gathered up as well from all areas of the Trail. This gathering included Bad News Erica, one of the 60+ Club (that I learned is only 59) and one of the TV providers that had been hanging in the Teens / Twenties over the past couple weeks. He was the one wearing the neon colored dress twice when I saw him out. All of the Stingee's were invited to spend some time with Uncle at the Resort this week.
I didn't see the details of the Lady-Boy's registration into the resort as Uncle has the Check-In log book closed shut for the moment. I am curious what the UC said to him once he got sweetie pants into the car. Maybe Uncle will open the books up soon so we can see how it went down.
Stay safe, keep your wits about you. It may not be over yet.

Wasn't Even Close to Sting
[QUOTE=MongerBro;5643623]So I struck out with Amber the brunette because she insisted on it upfront. So I continued up and right next Gogos on 29th (Pretty sure) I spot a different brunette, she looked good but not TGTBT necessarily.
I pull a 60 yards down and she approaches expecting her to hop in I didn't open the window so she opens the door. I ask her if she needs a ride and and she says something, wants to negotiate. Not really thinking correctly forgetting the monger rules I ask if I can touch her and she kind of allows it (she wasn't just like yea no prob) and all I really get is a bunch of paper in her bra. (Which is pretty common out there ime).
So kind of convinced she is cool I negotiate headache relief. Expecting her to hop in she tells me to pull up about 3 or 4 houses down and park next to certain garbage cans. I mean it made no sense why in the world would she not just hop in. So I told her ok and when she shut the door I made a uturn and didn't look back.
See to my understanding an arrest is a 3 legged stool. It needs an act, a form of compensation, and intent. In order to protect their case from an entrapment defense they need to shown intent to actually commit the offense, and that is the reason they usually have you meet them somewhere. I'm pretty sure I dodged a bullet there.[/QUOTE]GoGo's is at 23rd, a well populated SW area. 29th is just before I-4. Possible it was Sherrie the approx 50 year old taller, slender WSW you encountered.
Sting Cops will never let you touch them. The Garbage cans are near the Bonfire, a well know spot for SW tell you it's a safe place. It can be safe, but I am not getting a BBBJ sitting in a driveway on 23rd. You're a sitting target. LOL.
Sting arrests are NOT a 3 legged stool in FL. All they need is an offer for any action that could be construed as an act of gratification, in exchange for anything of value. This means you CAN be charged for offering a pack of smokes for a KISS. Not likely to happen like that in normal life, but on OBT with a arrest-hungry sting operation, you never know. Once LEO has a tangible offer for some act even if you are joking, they have you. Will they ultimately win in that case? No, but why even put yourself in that situation.
Once you agreed to meet, you would have been arrested if it was a sting. Plus the busts have mostly been 6 miles to the south of where you were.
