Busted in KC?

What you have just explained makes SOME sense. Except the fact that you are assuming I don't know how to be a escort. I have done this job for over 6 years with no incidents. I think you misunderstood my stance as if I would be standing outside the door with 6 inch heels and a dildo in my hand screaming my head off and possibly assaulting them in a crazy hooker rage.

I'm not saying I would pick a fight with the police. Anytime I have ever had any interaction with the police they have been extremely nice and accommodating. (these interactions weren't hobby related). Hold on, I did have a hobby related issue once. But it was bullshit. The Dallas Police would have never pulled some shit like this.

However, The police still infringe on our rights. A older gentleman can't go to a hotel with a younger woman without being involved in illegal activity? That's ridiculous.

If me standing up for myself and not allowing them to bully me into complying with something so ABSURD is considered picking a fight with them then per your perception I may seem confrontational.

They aren't searching my things without a search warrant. I'd like to see them get one with the evidence "a hotel clerk thought they looked suspicious because of the age difference" pshh.

Its not gonna happen.

Really, why would we use our balls just to prove something? Look at the posting above yours!

"Yes. And I was upset about it all. I have a good friend who does a lot of defense stuff in the area. I asked him about it. He basically said in Lenexa, the local judge isn't going to side with you regardless. So if something did come out of it, you'd lose in local court and have to file in Federal court for a violation of your civil rights as it relates to unwarranted search and seizure. Needless to say, expensive."

You don't get it. You seem to want to pick a fight with the police and courts. Right or wrong, they are in charge!

Fade away into the background. Never ever argue with the police, one doesn't need the trouble it causes. Learn to always say: "Yes, Sir" and "No, Sir" to the police. You may not agree with what I say here, but do it.

With your lack of understanding, get the hell out of Johnson County before sundown because you probably won't blend in. If your dress, speech, or body language yells out that you are a whore expect to spend some time in jail and some money for an attorney and court fines before you have a chance to spend another $10,000 to $20,000 for your chance to have your attorney talk to a federal judge.

Now then, is it worth it to you to prove that you are right by being angry about the situation? Wouldn't you rather be happy and move on to someplace else?

What if they would have found some cash in their possession. Would that have been evidence in their eyes to take them in? Possibly. Though a conviction would not have happened. I don't care how many "good ol boys" are in Johnson County.

Things like this and more profound infringements by the police have caused a number or departments to require them to wear body camera's. Why? Because they are abusing their power.

You just read a perfect example of why guys are avoiding you in JOCO like you were fucking radioactive.
Use some sense and pay attention to locals who know the lay of the land. Originally Posted by zeejoe

If they wanna trump up some charge with the risk of being sued...go ahead.
Do you realize that in a police officers career they will be sued a minimum 2-3 x

LE cannot just show up and just force their way in unless they have reason to believe someone is in danger or that the commission of a crime is being committed.
Hell Cynamon could have some guys dick down her throat when they show up doesnt mean anything. Imagine this cop shows up at a hotel and here's the conversation:

Front Desk: We have suspicion that something funky is going on in room 222.
Officer: What is it you feel is going on?
Front Desk: Well this girl looks like a whore and she is dressed like one and her body language is bad.
Officer: Well what kind of activity have you witnessed, and are you saying she is a prostitute or what?
Front desk: Yes, we see men coming in at all hours of the night, but we aren't sure if it is for her or not.
Officer: So what do you want us to do?
Front desk: We want to have her arrested because of her body language or ask her to leave.
Officer: I can ask her to leave but I cannot arrest her for the way she looks... let us chat with her, Has she paid you for the room?
Front Desk : Yes
Officers obtain the guest name/copy of the DL from the front desk and run here info...then mosey on down to room 222 and knock....BTW she comes up clean on NCIC.
Cynamon answers the door in a sexy little night gown and says "how may I help you officers?"
Officers reply: well the front desk says you look suspicious and look like a whore...are you?
Cynamon: why yes officers I am a whore...I love men and I love to DT....whats it to ya but I certainly dont do it for money?
Officers: Well they have asked us to come check on you and find out if you are running prostitution out of this room.
Cynamon: Oh that's funny but untrue....is there anything else I can do for you boyz?
Officers: Ok no..... well they want you to leave.
Cynamon: ooookkkkkay well let me gather my stuff , but I paid for my room will they refund me.
Officers: Thats between you and the hotel
Cynamon gather her things and is escorted off the hotel grounds after getting her refund.
NOW WHAT?

They can ask her to leave the hotel has that right...regardless its private property

Where in any of this can they arrest her...she doesn't have any warrants...they can sit and watch her but they wont cause they other shit going on...and areas to patrol.
Now if she has a record for prostitution...it might raise red flags...but they still cannot arrest her for a record.

BTW most judges are on the side of the cops...but he/she also understand that the law has to be followed regardless...people have rights as well.
Its the same way on both side of the stateline...and federal laws are the same in KS as they are MO.

Stay low key and dont say shit....the burden of proof is on them...let them prove it.

If your dress, speech, or body language yells out that you are a whore expect to spend some time in jail

Excuse me....


Okay. I'm back. I had to freshen up. I pissed myself when I read these comments.

JR Is a little over the top paranoid. However, I get that way at times as well. When I check in to a hotel I feel like everyone knows what I am doing as if there is a red dot by my name. I take my DR Prescribed anxiety medication shortly after the walk of shame and I'm ok again.

It's odd. When I go back home to Oklahoma and pull into LOT #228 in my 6 inch heels and leather mini skirt no one bats a eye. Johnson county must be too boosh for a girl like me.

LOL.

I'm sorry. Did I step into the twilight zone here?

What in the hell did I just read? The police came and wigged out and demanded to search your shit because some hotel clerk had a suspicion you were participating in a sex for money transaction? SO WHAT!

I WISH THE HELL THEY WOULD.

Thank You! Well said!

And, in Lenexa, if they want to stop you, they WILL stop you and then they search your car on the side of the road while you sit in the back of a cruiser as opposed to me (somewhat) smirking when if dawned on them what ACTUALLY was happening!

Maybe I should grow some balls. But, I try to use my brain. I failed to use it in booking the room in Lenexa.

So. I could piss them off and possibly invite them to fuck with me everytime i drive thru town and pass a cop that captures my license plate. Or I can sit back and chuckle knowing that they fucked up this time. Sure, I can play tough if need be. But why? It served no purpose. They were going to search us one way or the other.

They were DEFINITELY trying to get her admit she was working but that it was "OK". They would "save" her if only she'd "let them". Again, you'd have to see the line of questioning. And they pulled her aside to talk JUST to the female cop. I wouldn't know what was said if my GF hadn't told me pretty much word for word. But it was one where they were trying to flip her and work up the ladder. You could almost imagine if she WERE a hooker, her pic would have been on a BP age later that night and some of you fuckers might have answered it.

In regards to your situation
Look if the hotel says hey "cooperate or leave" cooperate and if you got nothing to hide...then let them do what they gotta do and move on. But I tell ya from 10 years of being on the street as a police officer here in Kansas City...ya got the right to say NO....I have paid for my room and done nothing wrong...and you have no probable cause based on a suspicion. Go ahead write my name down ...run my plates but I'm going to bed...so lets get this over with....then I would have some final words with the manager/owner.
Zip your mouth and say NO you cannot search my room without some reasonable prudence that a crime is being committed, I disagree with JR...so agree with him all you like.
Bottom line sorry that happened to you but if you felt you had some rights violated...you should request a supervisor.....or simply say shut the door...what are they going to do....bust the door down...let em....people are so afraid to challenge....I guess NO Justice NO peace right?
Listen I use to get "suspicious activity" and or "suspicious party" calls all the time and I would show up ask a few questions, run the DL and plates and if its clean its clean. Now as LE I can say go away and dont come back here again...but if I am in my hotel room and I just paid for...and LE shows up....you have some sanctity there that you dont have on a public street....and the rules are different for LE engagement.

Now officers have alot of discretion...but know your rights...I can tell you I fucked up more than once while in uniform and was lucky I didn't get sued/fired...because I dealt with someone that didn't know their rights and I felt I could take advantage of their lack of an education....wasnt right but it was it was.

You are wrong on so many levels here. The police arent the judges and BS they are not in charge..... Originally Posted by BigDeal

I had not had anything to drink for two weeks, but I was getting tired and looking to find a motel in town. I must have weaved a little, and I got run into the little police station with a lot of harassment for about 3.5 hours. I told them I was just tired. They did not put me in the jail cell just gave me a hard time. I was polite the entire time and they finally drove me to motel about three blocks from my vehicle and told me to spend the night while they checked to see if I had a police record from out of state. It seems like the local cop wanted to get credit for a DWI and they did not have any equipment to test me for alcohol. I just held to my story that I had not been drinking and they finally let me go.

By that time, I was really tired. So, I paid for the room and went to bed. 3.5 hours at the station just because they wanted to harass me. If I hadn't been super nice to them, I probably would have slept in the jail.

Be nice, until it is time not to be nice.

You are wrong on so many levels here. The police arent the judges and BS they are not in charge.
They have to have a "without a reasonable doubt you have committed a crime" to arrest you....and introduce you into the system
Kind of hard to end up in jail for the way you look or the clothes you are wearing if you have the guts to step up and say NO!
If they wanna trump up some charge with the risk of being sued...go ahead.
Do you realize that in a police officers career they will be sued a minimum 2-3 x

LE cannot just show up and just force their way in unless they have reason to believe someone is in danger or that the commission of a crime is being committed.
Hell Cynamon could have some guys dick down her throat when they show up doesnt mean anything. Imagine this cop shows up at a hotel and here's the conversation:

Front Desk: We have suspicion that something funky is going on in room 222.
Officer: What is it you feel is going on?
Front Desk: Well this girl looks like a whore and she is dressed like one and her body language is bad.
Officer: Well what kind of activity have you witnessed, and are you saying she is a prostitute or what?
Front desk: Yes, we see men coming in at all hours of the night, but we aren't sure if it is for her or not.
Officer: So what do you want us to do?
Front desk: We want to have her arrested because of her body language or ask her to leave.
Officer: I can ask her to leave but I cannot arrest her for the way she looks... let us chat with her, Has she paid you for the room?
Front Desk : Yes
Officers obtain the guest name/copy of the DL from the front desk and run here info...then mosey on down to room 222 and knock....BTW she comes up clean on NCIC.
Cynamon answers the door in a sexy little night gown and says "how may I help you officers?"
Officers reply: well the front desk says you look suspicious and look like a whore...are you?
Cynamon: why yes officers I am a whore...I love men and I love to DT....whats it to ya but I certainly dont do it for money?
Officers: Well they have asked us to come check on you and find out if you are running prostitution out of this room.
Cynamon: Oh that's funny but untrue....is there anything else I can do for you boyz?
Officers: Ok no..... well they want you to leave.
Cynamon: ooookkkkkay well let me gather my stuff , but I paid for my room will they refund me.
Officers: Thats between you and the hotel
Cynamon gather her things and is escorted off the hotel grounds after getting her refund.
NOW WHAT?

They can ask her to leave the hotel has that right...regardless its private property

Where in any of this can they arrest her...she doesn't have any warrants...they can sit and watch her but they wont cause they other shit going on...and areas to patrol.
Now if she has a record for prostitution...it might raise red flags...but they still cannot arrest her for a record.

BTW most judges are on the side of the cops...but he/she also understand that the law has to be followed regardless...people have rights as well.
Its the same way on both side of the stateline...and federal laws are the same in KS as they are MO.

Stay low key and dont say shit....the burden of proof is on them...let them prove it. Originally Posted by BigDeal

The prosecutors office must then determine whether there is sufficient cause to file charges. If the prosecutor believes that there is sufficient cause to charge you, it is then up to a judge or jury whether or not your guilty, it is here and only here where "with out a reasonable doubt" is applied. I have been arrested many times buy cops who just want to fuck with me and waste my time. Even if the prosecutor finds their not enough evidence for a charge you have still had to endure the whole arrest process. Now I know your saying this is not legal, that's false arrest. Are you really gonna sue the police, your going to do what everyone else does, be happy that they didn't file charges and smile as you leave. If you give the cop shit, more than likely he is going to arrest you for "interfering with the lawful duties of a police officer" or "obstruction of justice", both you can get for simply refusing to answer the cop or by arguing with them.
