Bust in Pittsburgh

Staff Edit to remove arrest link. dj8

Well...now that everyone has been outted...mod, can you remove that link as it contains personal information of members? Thanks!

Sex Workers! Stay safe. Trust your gut. Know your rights.

They did a round up of clients, visitors, friends...whatever you wanna call em nowadays. Usually not far behind is a round up of Companions.

In Pittsburgh the so intelligently named "John School" pays for the horrible, fucked up diversionary PRIDE program which I like to call the government-save-a-hoe program.

PRIDE is for folks who are arrested for prostitution combined with (forbidden topic) related offenses.

Be smart. Minimize your risk. Keep (forbidden topic) away from your work spaces. Learn your rights. Watch the video in my sig line.

DON'T TALK TO THE FUCKING COPS!

They won't understand and let you go.

Don't talk to them.

It's best if you have your ID to provide them.

Make it clear you do not consent to a search of yourself or your possessions, including your vehicle.

And shush up. Do NOT talk to the cops.

If arrested talk to NOBODY about your case except your lawyer.

They listen to calls from jail. They read mail in jail. There is no privacy except in a room with your lawyer!

DM if you're a Sex Worker and you need to know what (forbidden topic) is.

Stay safe y'all.

Pretty sure I actually responded to that ad. Thankfully, wasn’t really interested and didn’t get even close. Never discussed anything other than location.

It contains names of people arrested for allegedly breaking the law.
I don’t have any clue if they are members here or not.

Is it worth the chance?

You do realize that MANY, MANY, MANY members here participate if FULL SCREENING, right? I've told ya twice somebody was outted. I've got their name and they are a member here.

So what exactly is the rule? We can out anyone we want just so that person doesn't RMT it? What a joke.

But guys should use her statement as a learning opportunity. If someone did share his personal info with her, this is the risk that you run or worse. She can out you. She can blackmail you like some others have done. The fact that she says she hangs on to this info tells you all you need to know about why guys should not share this.

The gist here is that the cops busted some folks from the LC/EB platform who were mixing things of a "substance" we cannot discuss here on ECCIE with the hobby. Google will find you the originals in about 2 seconds.

Some people just don't know how to use discretion.

As for sharing this type of information on busts seems to be better done with snippets of text info only ( without names of course) Rather than posting links to the article.
Then the real nebbies can Google it.

That means any effort or attempt to connect a person's real world information to their username on this board or elsewhere will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. This includes real first or last names, employment, medical info, addresses past or present, images, criminal or driving record, etc. We expect everyone who participates here to respect and go to great lengths to protect the anonymity and privacy of one another. Reckless disregard or accidental outing will also be taken very seriously, as will posts deemed by staff to be a 'threat of outing'. In other words, posts which simply imply knowledge of personal details beyond one's public fictional persona or what has been revealed in writing on this board will be dealt with using the same strong measures as actual outing of one's personal information.


I highlighted a couple of key areas for your easy understanding.
I always edit the link posted out of caution, in an attempt to avoid a case of Accidental Outing. And yes, we have to be informed by the said member that their info was posted. If we simply took someone else's word for a serious violation, could you imagine the stunts that would be pulled?


By the way, you might want to pay extra close attention to the 2 areas highlighted in red..

The "provider" in question appears to have been identified in various articles as male and female. I won't say anything else that will get me in trouble, but the confusion appears to be understandable.
