+news&headtitle=local+news[/quote]rarely do i agree with the actions of le, but in the case of guys pursuing ****d sex with minors, there is nothing to discuss. the problem i do have is that le always tries to connect such activity to sites like this one. it is well documented that such activity will not be tolerated here.

A Necessary Evil. Attorneys
[QUOTE=Exec Talent; 1392430]Should anyone here find themselves in this unfortunate situation, first thing you tell the police is that you will not be answering any questions until you speak with an attorney. If you do not have the money for an attorney, that is the second thing you say.
Posting photos and details of people's lives based upon an arrest is reprehensible.[/QUOTE]ET,
Very Good Advice, shut your mouth until you have an attorney present. Don't be intimidated or bullshiited by any cop into answering anything until you have a attorney present. They will try every trick in the book to get you to answer (and further incriminate) yourself.
Additionally, while on the phone don't ever discuss a sexual act tied to monetary compensation when calling the person in the ad. If you verbally discuss and tie these two items together, you just committed the actual crime (which is recorded). Before you physically appear at the meeting place, you have committed a misdemeanor. Nothing is easier than for the cops than to sit back, eat a bag of doughnuts and have the perp deliver themselves to be stuffed and cuffed.
Ain't Polk County a biatch!

Listen well to STEVE POPE
It seems that the Politzei are stretching the law as far as it can go especially when they know the person or persons involved have limited resources with which to defend themselves.
Example: A friend of mine spent 3 weeks in jail on a "loitering with intent to commit prostitution charge" in a nearby city. They arrested her while she waited for a cab outside a Hotel
They questioned her and she wouldn't "give up" the name of the friend she had just visited, so since she had a previous conviction they popped her on the above charge, technically she did not have to answer any PD questions but once she said she was there to see a friend and would not identify that friend, they had her. If she had politely identified herself and refused any other questioning until an Attorney was present she should have been fine but she made the "Classic" case of trying to make an excuse and explain herself to LE. Lets face it they have the gun and uniform and car with all the lights and are extremely intimidating to the average citizen,"They absolutely know that they are intimidating" and play on it to get the citizen to incriminate themselves. Bottom Line: You cannot talk yourself out of trouble with LE you can only talk yourself into trouble by talking to LE. They are not looking for ways to let you go, that is not their JOB! The conviction rate would drop considerably if people just kept their mouths shut.
I asked her why she didn't call me and she said she did not know "anyone with a land line" and even if she did she would have to memorize a lot of numbers. The jail phones can only call land lines, apparently.
Her bail was only $1000.
A good attorney would have blown this arrest out of the water, but that Attorney would have needed FRONT money.
So she pled "Guilty" and got "time served" as a sentence. I'm not saying she was not guilty of something but they could not prove that charge but they knew they wouldn't have to because they know she has limited means. (Money) and could not afford a real attorney.
So they got the cheap bust without having to "prove' anything.
Of course I wasn't there to here every word but what I do know I posted here and I know the girl well and I know she is a bit anxious at times when she gets excited and I believe everything she told me.
The only thing they could prove was that she was a woman waiting for a cab outside a hotel who had a previous prostitution conviction, and apparently that was enough.
This is some food for thought even if you KNOW the law. —VS
