In the story they interviewed some police that were unaware of this and will probably start to investigate. You can never be too careful, UTR girls are more valuable than ever.

Probably just a matter of time before they get shut down too.

Must be a slow news day. They should go investigate all the money Charlotte is blowing away on pet projects instead.

As long as every one involved is 18 & up, who gives a shit what goes on between consenting adults.

This society is so hung up on sex it's unreal, you'd think the fucking Puritans were still around.

Legalization, Licensing, Regulation and Taxation is the only way to combat human trafficking. They are trying to stop communication between people with compatible needs (I. E, one needs money, the other needs sex). Morality does come into play here: If both parties are NOT willing participants, then it's morally wrong and should be illegal (e. G, rape, human trafficking, pimping). But if both parties are willing participants, a third party's morality is moot.

They will close down the adult section on BP and then it'll move back to CraigsList in the personals section. It will be much more subtle though, there will be code. Looking for a "short term" relationship with a "generous guy" who "smells nice" with a phone number. The reply you send (txt or call) is,"How short term? How generous? I've got time this afternoon." And the hook-up is made.

No, thinking about that, it's improbable; there's nothing subtle about the hobby. Most likely a google search will reveal the next CL / BP viral advertising site, there are hundreds of them out there now, it's just which one becomes ultra popular next. EROS / ThE otheR site / BD are all your fallbacks until the next viral site rises above the rest. Or just stay tuned here, a new thread will open letting you know where the action is.

You can't stop communication, unless you amend the constitution and repeal the bill of rights. Well, it could happen.

If "they" shut down BP, what will "they" use for their reverse stings? Just wondering. Be safe.

It isn't called the worlds oldest profession for nothing.

So, how can we ascertain that she is not a victim of trafficking? I, for one, do not want to be part of the "fuel" that powers that "engine."

[QUOTE=StreetDater;1688874]If "they" shut down BP, what will "they" use for their reverse stings? Just wondering. Be safe.[/QUOTE]Not sure what they would use. Guess whatever would replace BP. Go back to setting up street walker stings?

And the internet has made it easy to market them and save us a lot of hunting time. They will never stop this profession and really it is better to keep them out of public eye and just leave them alone.

They keep claiming that they want a Constitutional Convention for the supposed Balance Budget Amendment, but if you buy that one then I have the last private lot in the Grand Canyon to sell you, complete with your own private Navajo sex slave. This is especially true if you look at the Congresses record of passing such freedom respecting legislation as the Patriot Act, NDAA, and then the wanting to pass PIPA&SOFA, which I believe were diversions from the NDAA. Make no mistake our government wants total control over us. They think we the little people are too stupid to know what is good for us. The laws only apply to we the unwashed masses.

Can you imagine this kind of favorable coverage of a sex worker in the Charlotte press?

Oh wait, sex work is legal down under!
