On Phones...

I don't know if this is an alert or not. But due to Alert of LE having a provider's phone. I'd like to ask who is dumb enough to use their normal cell to talk to providers???

Here's a tip, go to walmart and get a pay as you go phone for such things. They are 30 bucks, some of them are 30 bucks with 200 minutes included. Pay cash. They are untraceable. I think LE can ping the general area you are in, but can't get a true location. Use the phone for a couple of months. Destroy the SIM card, throw the phone away. Buy a new one.

If I'm wrong about this, please inform me.

Thanks, Cap'n. It's appreciated.
Oh, and if LE does have a way to get your actual coordinates; then only call providers when en route, or in a public area. Never from home, never from work.

Right.

Hmmm... I wonder though, it's not like you can dial information to get what number belongs to someone... And only if you post it on-line somewhere can someone google your cel phone to find it belongs to you... I guess if you were caught by LE... but if this is the case, they still can trace the phone back to you... I don't get it... cel phones don't have caller id... at least mine doesn't.

That's why I always use a luminescent brown rubberized phone specially formed to look like a fresh turd. It even floats. And if I dial one number it sprays Hawaiian Mist air freshener, but in an emergency it has an audible programmed to dial when I say, "Hi, Barney!" which then makes it put out the customary stinch. It even crushes and sticks to your shoe if you step on it. In a real emergency it can be programmed to spray like a skunk and you place it in a donut box to go off when the lid is opened. I hide it in the toilet, unless the dog is in the house. (Then I just let 'em guess.)

Best bet is to drive by every hotel in KC and throws cans on strings at them. They're bound to answer your can eventually.

Even funnier Kaboom! U dudes r funny!
If LE has your phone number in a provider's phone. They have you.

LE doesn't need to look at google to see who you are, they can subpoena the provider's phone company to get your name.

They can call you from the provider's phone and get your GPS location.

Unless they want you for something else, there's no way they are going to do all that for a misdemeanor prostitution charge.

I'm more worried about someone saying "Why do you have a second cell phone?"
Very true, KCQuestor; not for that.

But, let's say a provider known to LE turns up dead or missing and her phone is found...You can bet every lead is going to be followed up on with help from the FBI (considering how providers travel).

I, for one, don't want that call.
