Will LE show you their I.D.?

They will show you a FAKE id / business card...EVERYTHING THEY show you is fake, so don't go off that!!!!!!! SCREEN & off your GUT Babe!!!!!!!!!!

The state of Texas regularly issues VALID I.D's and Drivers Licenses to officers in undercover assignments, they may even attach bogus criminal and driving histories to them, with DWI's, speeding, etc.... This is regularly done in Narcotic units,In Vice and in the DA's Organized Crime Unit,... Done in order to enhance their "Street Creds"... been done for as long as I can remember... Bad guys can have someone on the inside, or links to the criminal and drivers license databases, as well as be able to to license plate verification.. Lawyers and bonding companies have the ability to pay and register to obtain all that information on their clients... it would not be hard for anyone with connections to get the info.. so TxDPS will assist LE agencies in obtaining VERIFIABLE bogus info on UC officers... therefore having a Private Investigator look into that data base will not give them any clue.. those data bases will note or "Flag" who and when an inquiry on that ID was made.. therefore, the informant with access to the database with have some questions to answer... or if he is not LE, just have their access denied of limited.....

As far as engaging in criminal activity to arrest or make a case... YES.. to a VERY LIMITED POINT... they can't do drugs to catch a drug dealer.. they cannot engage in a sex act then file charges.. for they too would be "Engaging" and that they cannot do... Speed to catch a speeder, yep, run red lights, yep... Commit a Class B misd, to file a Class B... or a B or A misd.. to file a Felony... not hardly...

I'm not saying that it has not been done... but if it is, and it is found out about and proven... the cop is done.. Remember "Just Ask Kelly" last year?

She did audio recording of her "Arrest" ... it cost the cop his job... good for her..

In Columbus, Ohio it is perfectly legal for LE to engage in sexual activity and then bust the lady if they feel they need to do that to get the bust. This has been noted in the Columbus Dispatch. LE's argument is many times they need to do this to get a bust. They say it is no different than using drugs to get a drug bust or buy. So know what is accepted practice in the locale you are doing business in. As one can tell from this thread, practices vary by area. On a comical side, it appears that Columbus Vice generally do this only with the high dollar hotties and not the street walkers.

Also, Columbus LE could care less whether they get a conviction or not. Just making your life a living hell for you and outing you to your family, job, etc. is enough to make LE happy. They just want you to quit and move on. As you can see, all the cards are stacked against you. Originally Posted by Captain Columbus

I don't think they will because your right it has their real name on the license but you never know just depends on the situation and the person. I once went to see a man at a hotel in Orange County during an outcall and he knew it was protocol but refused to show me his ID, so I left. Nothing happened.

He may be an undercover (no pun intended) cop -- in which case, how do you know he's not showing you a driver's license with an alias instead of true name?

As so many here have indicated, there is no substitute for rigorous screening and "gut" instinct.

I just meant like would they show you their I.D. as in if they would reveal their real name like that or not I know it's not going to say cop on it. Originally Posted by Britney_Jaye_Loves_You

None of that makes any difference whatsoever. Cops bust women for "looking" like prostitutes EVERY DAY in this country. It doesn't matter if the man crumples the money in little balls and throws it in the wastebasket, or EVEN IF THE WOMAN REFUSES IT. If a you show up at a prostitution sting, you are taking a ride downtown. End of story. Both clients and escorts need to get this through their heads, screen thoroughly and STOP TAKING RISKS.

When I told them said nothing, it looked like she was in a hurry to get someplace else, they didn't believe me. They got back in the car and chased her down pulled her over, put her in handcuffs and took her in.

She didn't do anything. It really looked like she was trying to get home.

She was out at night by herself and she got arrested.

Bummer!

In Chicago they are very sneaky. They get fake business cards made up to match i.d. so watch out for that too.

Instead of having someone do your private detective work for you ALL in Texas or anywhere else join :www.beenverified.com ask him for hes 1st name last name ,hes work number & cell # and hes home number and tell him it has to match hes id ,You cant hide from beenverified.com its 100 a month unlimitied as many times looking up anyone .Le can lie we all know that what else is new, but beenverified .com doesnt .

I don't think the ID thing will help at all it you are trying to flush cops out with it. It may help you flush out some creeps, but even then there may be some legit guys that get spooked when you ask for an ID as well. Problem is that undercover cops will have fake IDs that look damn good (after all, they will be gov't issue) and they are allowed to lie to you about their identify as part of their cover.

Please remember all the screening you do is really for your safety. LE can get you if they want you. As the old school police used to say. "it's not what you did it's what I say you did". Honestly once they are in your room you are going to jail. Good luck be safe...
