[QUOTE=Boston Guy 57]The way I understand it there is really nothing for CL to enforce. The point of the new system is to make the information available, by subpoena, in case either federal or local LE wants to prosecute a particular case.[/QUOTE]
It looks like the number of posting on the Boston CL is already down.

A lot of the girls are probably paranoid regardless of weather or not there is anything to worry about.
I'd look for an upsurge in street activity....
Just my .02, but have noticed that the ads are down and many are repeats.
Hope you girls aren't getting worried about this stuff. As for the prepaid phone I have one and have had one for over a year. Walmart, Target sell them and they are easy to open up a john doe account. Better safe than sorry. As for the credit card get a gift card and use that to open up the accont.

Down from about nine pages Thursday to about one and a half. Even considering the amount of spam and repeat ads there were, that's a big hit. Hopefully they'll figure out the gift card thing, advertise elsewhere or better yet, walk the track.
here's an interesting twist to the "new and improved" cl. the new cl includes new le only search tools that they say is to help track down "exploited children and victims of human trafficking" which is a blanket phrase that means "everyone". finding and helping the ****d and exploited is great but that's not the only thing they'll use it for.
obviously the content of the ad that we can all see and search ourselves isn't what the search tools search so they must be getting ip info, phone numbers associated with cl accounts or credit card info and who knows what else.

bowing to a challenge from the connecticut attorney general’s office, the popular web site craigslist.org last week unveiled new search tools for use by law enforcement aimed at helping track down exploited children and victims of human trafficking.
more than two years ago, in response to a herald inquiry, jim buckmaster, ceo of craigslist.org, said illegal activity on the site is best handled by the craigslist community, which flags inappropriate advertisers.
but this week the site announced a partnership with 40 state attorneys general that will help track hookers who moved from the street to the information superhighway by requiring working telephone numbers and credit card payments. that information, on request, will be handed to law enforcement, buckmaster said.
“they never threatened us, they challenged us to do better,” buckmaster said. “that started a series of discussions and face-to-face meetings with them and ags.”
buckmaster said they were never threatened with legal action or promised any protection from law enforcement. he said as part of the agreement, the site created a new search engine with tools accessible only by law enforcement and the national center for missing and exploited children.
“we’re providing specialized searches . . . to use for identifying and locating exploited and missing minors, and trafficked persons,” buckmaster said. “talking to them has been very fruitful in determining how we could help them in their important work and creating tools for their search interfaces.”
he said all law enforcement has access to the new tools, including massachusetts, which refused to sign on to the partnership.
a spokeswoman for state attorney general martha coakley said her office rarely investigates prostitution on craigslist.org.
those cases tend to be handled by local law enforcement and district attorneys, she said.

le must subpoena the information. you make it sound that they just have to drop by and pick up all the info or perhaps just download from the internet.
imo it will be used selectively. le doesn't have the manpower or time/inclination to focus on cl erotic services.
call me naive, but i believe that it will be primarily used for investigating cases of "exploited children and victims of human trafficking". however, if need be, it will be a resource in cases that attract their attention due to traffic volume, neighborhood complaints, or hotel complaints.
it will not impact the majority of the ladies posting on cl-er, especially those that post a few times a week, don't list a specific town, and whose ads are not sexually explicit.
chicken little, the sky is not falling.

[QUOTE=Chuck L Head]You couldn't have sounded more like a cop if you'd written that with a jelly donut.[/QUOTE]Lj is far from a cop. I hope you are not insinuating (-sp) he is. Look at a few other boards and he is a very regular contributor. More than your avg. John. Seeing that you have all of 3 posts. I will assume you are just trying to get to 5 posts quicker.

I agree and it WILL be competitive.
[quote=longjblues]le must subpoena the information. you make it sound that they just have to drop by and pick up all the info or perhaps just download from the internet.[/quote]i make it sound like? read the article:
"the site created a new search engine with tools accessible only by law enforcement and the national center for missing and exploited children"
"craigslist.org last week unveiled new search tools for use by law enforcement"
"all law enforcement has access to the new tools"
"creating tools for their search interfaces"
they really have to jump through some hoops don't they?
[quote=longjblues]imo it will be used selectively. le doesn't have the manpower or time/inclination to focus on cl erotic services[/quote]as it always has been. they'll devote the same manpower as before only they'll have a fraction of the posts to concentrate on.
[quote=longjblues]call me naive, but i believe that it will be primarily used for investigating cases of "exploited children and victims of human trafficking". however, if need be, it will be a resource in cases that attract their attention due to traffic volume, neighborhood complaints, or hotel complaints.[/quote]you're naiive. they have a history of using the missing children and trafficking issues as an excuse to bust others.
remember the nationwide bust (which used cl) from june? they arrested 345, 290 of whom were adult providers and 21 who were ****d.
getting ****d providers out of the business is a great and neccessary thing but they won't just use the info for that.
[quote=longjblues]it will not impact the majority of the ladies posting on cl-er, especially those that post a few times a week, don't list a specific town, and whose ads are not sexually explicit.[/quote]i never said otherwise.
[quote=longjblues]chicken little, the sky is not falling.[/quote]i never said it was. i pointed out the fact that they won't just use it for it's intended purposes and i speculated as to what info they may be getting that we can't get through our searches. and they are getting info that we can't.
unless of course craigslist, over 40 attorney generals and countless law enforcement agencies all got involved just for the hell of it.
Several weeks ago, I met up with Karla.
She is around 5'9", medium build (but in a nice way. I guess is she is around 140 to 150 pounds), dark hair down to her shoulders, and has a very laid-back personality.
$150 for an hour which includes CBJ, DFK, and a massage. The massage was not very good.
She does both incalls and outcalls.
For incalls, you need to call in advance.
Type her name in the Therapuetic section and you will find her ads.
Moved to Brighton, for those of you that are interested.
Anybody have any info on this possibly TGTBT poster? She just appeared in the last few days with a HUGE photo in her ads, and she posts in the Boston, New Hampshire and Rhode Island theraputic sections. I guess she gets around (maybe Uncle Leo? ). I'm a little new to this, but any thoughts from some of you more experienced mongers out there?
Thanks,
HH
I am looking for any info on a cutie currently on the No Shore
She advertises as half Italian and half Brazilian. Her contact ends in 0092 and she wears a nice yellow bikini. She definitely looks good. She was in Prov till the end of Oct and then has been on the north shore of Ma but does has a 401 exchange so she maybe RI based. I posted in RI also to see if anyone saw her there.

Saw Bella from Bella Donna yesterday. Young, beautiful, sexy and amazing. A true GFE.
I have been using eros.com to locate escorts with a lot of success. They are expensive, 200 to 300 pesos but usually quite nice. However I was disturbed by a NBC program on "High End Escorts". According to the program, LE can arrest you if you call for an appointment ahead of time and just show up. You do not have to state or negotiate a price or discuss specific services. This is very worrisome for me.
Is this correct? Has anyone heard about it? Has anyone here been stung?
Thanks for the info.
