[QUOTE=TomMcAn;7568940]Montgomery County, Maryland is just across the Potomac River from the western half of Fairfax County, crossing over the American Legion Bridge from McLean. Before the crackdown that started in the early 2000's, I regularly visited spas in Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Silver Spring, and Wheaton. Those areas aren't 300 miles away. Some Northern Virginia residents regularly commute to jobs in those areas and vice versa.

I'm wondering how Montgomery County police issued as many citations and made as many arrests as they did. There hasn't been much action available for many years. I haven't mongered in Montgomery since two visits about 8 or 9 years ago, one to an ACS and one to an individual Asian provider. Both are long gone.[/QUOTE]Not really devastated but all mostly offer L1 or L2. There's a place near GU offering L2 letting you fill her mouth when your balls dump junks. And it would be the most hot place for mongers in this area. Sad.

2 Arrest and a bust at Fairfax.

Bust, but no arrest at Alexandria.

[QUOTE=PlanTwoStan;7667413]If there's a place I know there's a doorbell cam (and I can think of at least one) I mask up. Yes, scamdemic way over, but I still have that face mask in my car. Boom. Another spot (apartment) they have 2 cam's inside; facing you coming and going. I mask the fuck up until I get in the bedroom. Sometimes the girls make fun of me (at the second spot). One offered to throw a blanket over my head. I just laughed and said no, the mask will do it. LOL.[/QUOTE]Yes mask up. But also try to avoid Flock cameras along your route when you're mongering as well. If your libido finds you speeding straight from one place to another to another, you can end up on LEO's radar, pulled over, and asked uncomfortable questions about why you're in the neighborhood and why you walked out of said parlor. And if you're the proprietor, etc. , etc. We're all simple mongers making our way in the world, but Flock is tracing habits and the picture might look like more than meets the eye.

Didn't happen in FFX, was another town, but can happen anywhere. Hell I know of a CC I won't go to because there's a Flock camera on a pole right next to the building.
