Notel or Apartment

With regards to getting harassed by LE in the parking lot of a hotel, I'd be fascinated to see them prove that using a cell phone in the parking lot is proof of solicitation. It isn't illegal to use a cell phone in a parked car, nor to knock on a hotel door, regardless of how much it costs per night. Granted, they can probably take your name, vehicle info and make your life hell, but I doubt they can prove anything. For a single guy like me, its not the end of the world. The only leverage they might have is to embarrass you in front of your family or coworkers/employers, like that earlier post about LE mailing him a request for information. They were clearly sending a warning shot and trying to embarrass him. I'm not easily embarrassed. My family knows I'm not an angel and they don't care; and as for my coworkers/employer, as long as they can't prove P4P took place, what are they going to do? Probably give me a high-five and ask me to keep a lower profile. Even companies with morality clauses would probably be hard-pressed to find cause for termination without proof of misconduct.

What is your mere presence at a hotel proof of? Absolutely nothing. Just have a good bullshit line made up, "A friend is visiting from out of town and I'm supposed to meet her for breakfast/lunch/dinner." "Dude, I meet my girlfriend here for mid-day quickies. What's the big deal?" "I bought some stereo speakers off of ebay and the gal said to meet her here. You haven't seen a white van around have you?" Etc. Granted P4P should take a backseat to getting the hell out of dodge, but still... Like we used to say in the Army, any battle you walk away from is a victory.

I'm not condoning reckless behavior, far from it. I'm just saying if you will only see girls that have their own private incall, your choices will be severely limited. I've used notels frequently for civilian and hobby hook-ups and never had a problem. I completely respect some people's desire to be as discreet as possible; its perfectly reasonable. But you can't complain about missing out on some strange. Risk v. rewards. Originally Posted by enderwiggin

I have a friend that hooks up with civilians at notels. He said it wouldn't bother him if LE questioned him, since he's not breaking any laws.

Sooo... If you're meeting your "Girlfriend" don't be nervous. If they pull out her rap sheet with picture..... say, " I am Shocked...Shocked ...I tell ya... met her online playing WOW... I can't believe I am so naive..."

I used to meet a provider at a notel but I did it a lot different than most. I never tipped her at the notel and I knew her real name, age, and address in case LE ever asked I could just tell them she was my GF.......Bill

Well without getting into any details I know a lot of people in the houston area. More people know me than I know them. I must be extra careful Originally Posted by Ramman

Dude..... What are you the friggin weatherman on Fox?

Start crying if approached and say "please don't tell my boyfriend I'm bi.." Please...Oh GOD!!! then ask......"in your faith is being gay ok?' As he runs away, follow him and keep asking...."well is it?" tell him that shirt looks nice on him......
