So with all the raids and crap going down, its more important than ever to understand how to deal with the pigs should you get involved, and also its more important than ever to be careful about info we share. Sooner or later one of these assholes is going to become familiar with this site, so make sure that you are careful about sharing data publicly. DM is good, but know who you are dealing with to the best of your ability.

Unless they come in while your dick is in the girls hand or you're pounding vag, you as a patron have given no evidence of soliciting of sex. Say nothing other than you stopped in for a back massage. Do not give permission to examine your phone, in fact LOCK it in your glove box in your car. You have a condom in your wallet? So what. Most guys carry condoms.

That being said, the current political climate may give Feds a lot of latitude to subpoena electronic data. So who knows what will happen. Be mindful what you say or post.

On another note not really related. There are cryptic posts on the escort sites showing only a birthday cake with 15 or 16 candles. It is 100% a trap to get more "trafficking" stings going. Some agency in Missouri was doing this with a great deal of success. I need to find where I saw the post about it.

Chico's right, the most important thing is to say nothing. Remember that we see these busts but I don't seem to see anything afterwards relating to convictions. I believe they bust people hoping the people will incriminate themselves, charge them and hope they collapse and plead to a lesser offense and fines. $$$ Its all about the money and using public pressure, like publishing names, to put pressure on the guys. The ones who have wives are most vulnerable to this sort of thing. But, say nothing. In WWII the saying was, "Loose lips sink ships. " Today, loose lips get aggravation. And fines. Unless there is proof that you did something, like they saw you giving the girl money, and heard what it was for, not much they can do if you stick to your guns. I think most guys that get convicted, and remember we rarely hear of an actual conviction, get it because they "confessed" under pressure.

I'll add that LE agencies get extra state and federal funds for these things. For them it's easy money to get new gear and equipment as long as they're showing something for it. So why not send an undercover or two in for a HJ then bust the place a week later. With ICE on the hunt you betcha there may be even more money thrown in the pot for uncle LEO to cash in on.

For the past week or so, I have not been able to access this site, it says bad gateway. I tried different browsers, until I found tor browser with a built in vpn, that is the only way I can access this site, anyone else having issues?

Goes away after few minutes.

Downloaded the app on my phone, no issues, no additional hoops to jump through. My other browsers still give me the '502 Bad Gateway' error.

Same issues with me, can't get in on computer anymore. Is there a free VPN that can be used?
