Streetwalker Reports

[Lemmesee]

Thanks JR Long, there is a lot of information in your post to ponder.

Probably because of my visibility, I am the most careful of mongers. If I wanted to be more careful I'the have to stay home. For example! When I cross the bridge, I make one trip the full length of the stroll. I never ever make a pickup during that first trip. My first trip is a recon trip. I'm looking for LE, SWers, other mongers, anything out of the ordinary, signs of trouble, detours, change in traffic patterns, new construction, and most important I'm trying to get a feel for area. On that first trip I am trying to get oriented, comfortable, at ease with what I see and what I am doing. Then I do a turn around and a second trip. On my second trip I am looking for SWers and LE. I am checking to see if LE has moved or change their position, are they observing a specific area, are they patrolling? I am interested in seeing if the SWers are worried about LE, are they walking away or just standing around. If trip number one and two don't spook me, I make another shorter third loop around – concentrating on the area where I saw the most girls and no LE. The third loop is shorter and mostly a recon of the side streets. My fourth loop is a search for a specify girl that I hopefully saw during one of my earlier passes. Depending on the relationship of my target, LE, street traffic, our position corresponding to a good safe pick-up area, I will decide on one of five possible pick-up tactics I use. If I miss the pick-up, I begin my search for another target, starting with another loop around and a check for LE. I will abort or abandon the operation if at any time I sense an uncomfortable or dangerous condition. That's a stripped down description of some of what I do. I've left out some details. The interval between loops vary and I try to incorporate a little imagination into the small details.

IMHO one pass is not nearly enough to make a safe pickup. I cannot imagine doing a pickup without doing at least one recon loop around (two passes) , checking for LE stakeouts. Safety first.

I read both articles. Isn't this what you'the expect the Chief of police to say about a new pet project? Did anyone notice that he did not bother to specify how many of the 65 arrest were felonies and how many were misdemeanors? He also failed to mention how many of the arrest ended or will likely end as convictions.

Man, that's more like a meeting between a Mossad agent and CIA spy! That careful planning and execution is beyond the means of a monger with only 30-45 min to spare, it must pay off, no doubt.

I ran the Broadaway stroll looking for cameras. It seemed to me that the cameras were only at traffic intersections and NOT on those parts of the stroll where LE would be looking for street activity not related to traffic violations. I could be wrong here, but thats my humble opinion.

Met Ceejay near Pine early this A. M. 24 yrs. Old, light brown hair fairly long, great body, perfect tits, pretty face, nice personality, talkative but not overbearing. No rush service, above average skills, no up selling, happy with average rates plus decent tip. No digits. She's pixie cute, about 5'3, almost a spinner.

My only point is that everyone be very careful.

Thomson said he believes the system is already working, with more than 65 arrests attributed to the images produced from the cameras. http://sj.sunne.ws/2011/06/15/camden...-casinos-with-

Here's a picture of an actual camera in Camden from one of the newspaper articles

[JR Long]

My only point is that everyone be very careful. In the past I use to drive up an down Broadway several times but not I only make one pass. I am also very careful about making the pickup. Being from the burbs I know that I stick out in Camden and I don't have a legitimate reason for cruising up and down Broadway and can be ticketing for loitering.

Once the 'Eye in the Sky' program became operational, the Police Department has been able to utilize the technology to make various arrests.

Police officers are now able to view and control cameras from computers in their cars as well as at police headquarters. Acting as an extra set of eyes, the cameras are expected to help in the overall effort to reduce crime.

2. Eye in the sky: Camden cameras aid crime fight.

By GEORGE MAST • Courier-Post Staff • June 15, 2011

The command center. Soon relocating to a larger room. Is the heartbeat of a high-tech brand of policing for a department that perennially struggled with outdated equipment and broken-down vehicles.

"We're working smarter," Camden Police Chief Scott Thomson said as he overlooked a half-dozen officers monitoring the command center screens.

Along with the video feeds of the more than 50 surveillance cameras throughout the city, the command center is also linked to a gunshot detection system that immediately pinpoints the locations of gunfire throughout the city. There also is a live digital mapping grid of every city patrol car's location.

More cameras are still being installed throughout the city as part of the much-anticipated Eye in the Sky surveillance system. Eighty-one cameras are planned.

"The goal was to get a strategic crime-fighting tool," Thomson said.

Now finally coming to fruition, the plans for a network of cameras that police will use to monitor the city from headquarters or their patrol cars began nearly a decade ago, and have outlasted multiple leaders at the Camden Police Department.

Camden police taking a nod from Atlantic City casinos with 'Eye in the Sky' surveillance system.

The Eye in the Sky is watching you in Camden.

Camden's police department is becoming more tech savvy to help it fight crime in one of the nation's most notoriously criminal cities. With the aid of surveillance cameras installed throughout the city, officers are able to monitor criminal activity, run license plates and immediately pinpoint the location of gunfire, according to a Courier-Post report. The technology is called 'Eye in the Sky, ' reminding us of the Atlantic City casinos' security systems.

'We're working smarter, ' Camden Police Chief Scott Thomson said.

More and more cameras are planned throughout Camden. 81 in total. Thomson said he believes the system is already working, with more than 65 arrests attributed to the images produced from the cameras. The intent of the system, though, is to prevent or deter crimes before they ever happen.

The Camden Police Department gets a rousing thumbs up from us. It's great to see them being able to utilize today's latest technology to keep everyone safe. As they are forced to do more with less (officers, that is) , it's great to see they have a legit tool to help them along.

Let's see, an inverted domed device with a vertical slit is for triggering the stop lights on Broadway. There is one at Royden and one at Benson and another diagonal from the Rand (which can't see up Broadway). There is also one at 7th and Royden, but wait, there isn't a stop light at 7th and Royden. Probably just forward thinking on LEO's part just in case the add a stop light there at some point. Then again, there aren't any of these stop light "sensors" at any of the other stop lights on Broadway, gee.

Oh, Looky: http://www.mts-iss.com/guestfiles/Ca...ation_rev1.doc

And Here: http://www.skywaysecurity.com/auto-t...ptz-camera.cfm

You can overcome ignorance, but you can't fix stupid.

I have been down and looking for these "cameras" I have yet to see any on Broadway. I have seen devices mounted at intersections that look like they might be cameras. These have very narrow slits in them so I think they may be the emergency sensors that turn the lights red when fire rolls.

I will keep looking, but haven't spotted the cameras. They must have them very well concealed.

Safe Mongering

[Jmswozniak]

Since the cameras, to be safe I will only cruise down Broadway once whereas I use to cruise up and down Broadway repeatedly in the past. On my pass down Broadway, I noticed that most of the girls were on Broadway down near Broadway and Kaighn further away from the cameras. I saw Missy (looking very skinny) , Dana and Alisha (wearing fake blue contact lens) but I passed on all of them. Slim pickings so I decided to head into philly.

Anyway even if they are cameras they are not being used extensively. You can listen to Camden City Police Dispatchers online. You can even listen to them on your blackberry or phone if you have a data plan. Granted they are using other forms of comms to communicate. Most what I have heard is someone at dispatch watching the cameras and will call an officer to tell someone holding up a pole to move on.

Safe Mongering

[CookyJar]

I have not posted in quite a while because I have been out of the game. The cameras may be a scare tactic for mongers, but trust me when I say they are there for the drugs and such things. There is a camera at Bway and Royden which does absolutely no good. Trust me when I say this. There is an open drug set right across the street dealing in plain view. Don't ask me how I know this, just take my word for it because I have inside intel. It sounds to me like the guy got caught making a pickup but I could be wrong. Unless you are stupid and do it in front of them the cameras are not there for s / w pickups. There are far more dangerous things in Camden to worry about. I honestly can't say if they are even monitered.

Thanks Johnboy, this is what we need, a little something to discuss before we go jump to conclusions. I am not saying the cameras shouldn't be a concern. I consider myself to be a very cautious person. How can I take the proper pre-caution without good, accurate information?



Hopefully someone will be able to answer what I consider to be the most critical question: How are they monitored? I don't think they are patrol car monitored. If they are monitored from a control room that would mean, someone in the control room would have to see the pick-up and then notify the nearest patrol car. Then, armed with a license plate number the tracking would begin like an episode from a CSI TV show. Using surveillance cameras, patrol cars and helicopters the Camden police can now track down monger and SW to their hidden parking areas. All for a misdemeanor. Maybe I should be afraid?



LOL.

Has anyone seen or heard from Gaetana? I miss those wonderful BJ's.

She was my first experience into this world. Saw her on CL last year, she was at a motel. Paid 30 mins, was done in 3 mins, no lie, she was the first girl to make cum from a BJ, and I had a lot of bjs in my day. Even betted girls hundreds of dollaz that they couldn't make me cum. She did, I don't know, if maybe you was so nervous abiut meetung her.

Unfortuately, I was stopped the other day after cruising up and down Broadway a couple of times and then pulling down a side street to make a pickup.

Sorry to hear that!


Sounds to me like you were stop during the pick-up. You weren’t stopped because you were driving up and down Broadway. Do you think surveillance cameras had anything to do with the stop? What were the results of the stop? Thanks for speaking up we need more mongers to provide this type of information.

We should start a anonymous legal fund for mongers who find themselves in this situation.

Why! Have you heard of mongers being hassled anymore than usually? Have you noticed anymore stops than usually?

[CookyJar]

I do agree, I'm just scared of the hassle...

Why!!! Have you heard of mongers being hassled anymore than usually? Have you noticed anymore stops than usually? Did the Camden police force suddenly grow in size? Do they now have the manpower to do more stops for the sole purpose of harassing mongers? I am asking these questions so that I can make an intelligent decision.

Is the, “End of the World,” really near? Is the sky is falling? Or, are we crying wolf and it’s really just a sheep in wolf clothing.

(FYI: There is a somewhat related story in today news. Red light cameras in California are being removed because the tickets cannot be enforced. I am paraphrasing, “In other criminal cases, you have a right to confront your accuser. But with this technology, your accuser is a camera.”)
