Could be unprejudiced advice.
[QUOTE=Giani; 1287857]This discussion has taken an interesting turn. We have an advertising provider who cautions us against cruising the streets 'cause they will take your car? Could be unprejudiced advice. Or not. If you cruise and pick up an SW at one tenth the cost, it cuts into the escort business.
I have several times heard reports that LE CAN impound your car (LE makes this threat often since fear is a major force against mongering) , but have never heard of a car actually impounded on the sole count of mongering. Anyone, anyone? Perhaps it has happened, but I would think the action would have been reported on this forum (one of the valuable functions of our forum).
Even IF cars have been impounded. Having your car impounded is extremely unlikely if you follow the rules. (I posted a set of 13 rules years ago-Jackson has summarized them so we don't keep repeating ourselves.) BUT, the key rules to avoid LE bust:
1) Do NOT negotiate thru the window. If she doesn't jump right in, bye, bye. Stinging females do NOT get in the car. (You HAVE scoped out the area for lurking LE, right?)
2) Leave the pickup area immediately, watch your rear view mirror.
3) Do NOT discuss "What for how much?" until you have left the hot zone and have innocently asked if she minds a touch to her breast or crotch (NO mention of $).
I do not think that I am wrong in believing that you can be busted only for ACTUALLY offering money for sex? So don't do that until you are well clear of surveillance, etc.
Safe mongering.[/QUOTE]My comment was not meant to steer anyone away from S-W's
Them girls got to get paid also.
I have seen many cars impounded and the client arrested
I grew up OTR
Weather or not the man got his car back I don't know.
I just know it was taken at the time of arrest.

Research says: They can and DO impound mongers' cars.
So the evidence is in (thanks MrNails). Cincinnati's finest are INDEED concentrating on titillating the public with their prowess: busting non-violent offenders of the crime of engaging in a consensual business transaction and impounding their cars. Sheesh. And this at a time that street gun play continues to rage in Cincinnati's inner city? The Puritans win over those who believe that the REAL problem is violent crime, not limited non-violent 'offences'. Still, we have yet to hear from anyone on this board who has personal experience impoundment due to mongering (maybe because forum participants are aware of prudent mongering practices?)
Lady L: You are proven correct. Your experience in OTR is believable. May we ask if you personally experienced or witnessed the impoundment of a client's car? (How did that go down?) It is so unbelievable that a seriously focused LE would let the street shooters slide while they make headlines busting non-violent trade.I am currently wiping that egg from my face.
May I (trying to salvage something from my previous post.) mention that my cautions about not getting busted in a sting still hold:
1) Don't pick up anyone who doesn't get right into the car.
2) Leave the pickup zone immediately, be sure you are not being followed.
3) Do not mention any act for any amount until you have performed the LE test (I. E, touching, feeling) (Remember, you only thought you knew the woman, and were giving her a ride.
BTW, the article confirms that LE is concentrating on headline-seeking work in PH and LPH for their headlines rather than fighting violent crime, even in these days of diminished LE resources.

CINCINNATI. Cincinnati police said they arrested 19 people in a prostitution sting Wednesday.
Police said the 18 men and one woman were arrested during the operation in Price Hill and Lower Price Hill by officers from the Vice Control Section.
The 18 men were charged with soliciting and / or loitering to solicit prostitution. The one woman arrested was charged with obstructing official business. All of the charges are misdemeanors.
Police said they also impounded 10 vehicles under the ordinance that imposes a civil fine for those charged with soliciting.

However, we all made dumb mistakes while learning through trial and error before finding this website and it's list of 22 Rules. As Giani as pointed out, merely following the condensed list of 3 should be enough to keep someone out of the grasp of an LE sting. The remaining rules are sort of icing on the cake.
Certainly there is someone here that has experienced a sting and / or impoundment in their past, but chooses not to speak up. Perhaps it is concern that other members are just going to rub salt in the wound confirming how badly they screwed up. We can be rather tough sometimes on some of the guys here both newbies and seniors alike.
It might be wise though if someone does decide to speak up about such an incident, state the facts but do not be so specific about location, date, and time especially if your bad luck was local and recent. We would not want the "headline seekers" that spend way too much time reading here rather than fighting crime to make a connection between a real life identity and someone's handle that is used here to share fantasy stories.
