If you're referring to being intimate with a client without asking for money up front, that's really no guarantee that the man isn't LE. There have been a few cases thrown out of court because the officer had sex with the escort, but having the case dismissed is cold comfort for a woman who's already been through the ordeal (had her name in the local paper/public registry, right?) Of course, you may have something else in mind...

We are talking about being in a job that is illegal. Therefore the only sure fire way NOT to get arrested is to retire. But then again a rotten cop could still arrest you for prostitution.
For prostitution to happen an AGREEMENT to exchange services for goods needs to have transpired. No sex needs to have taken place. I challenge you to find a department that condones their officers having sex with ladies.
What I was addressing was your point to a "False Sense of Security". I think we can agree that unless you personally know someone or can trust a provider that vouches for a client that anything further is in fact a false sense of security from being arrested.
Below is what one woman did to protect herself from being falsely accused. She taped the conversation. Do with it what you will.

A Houston Police Department vice officer appeared in court this morning after being arrested during the weekend on two charges of tampering with a government record in connection with a prostitution arrest.
Samuel Anthony Roccaforte, 57, is accused of arresting a woman for prostitution and filing a false police record about what the 45-year-old said in her bedroom.
The woman, whose prostitution charges have been dropped, protested being arrested for offering sex in exchange for money.
On tape, the officer can be heard saying, “Well, you did, you know you did, I know you did. There's no audio, there's no video. It's gonna be my word against yours and who do you think they're going to believe?” according to court records
I'm always appalled by the amount of misinformation circulating when it comes to cops. Like the old "if I ask you if you're a cop, you have to tell me the truth!" Or another that I find half howling funny, half sad: the disclaimer on the entry page of the website stating something to the effect of "law enforcement is not allowed to view this site!" Or "by entering this site, you agree that you're not associated with law enforcement." Wouldn't that be a great trick for everyone cooking meth and growing weed, a little sign posted on their front door saying "cops not welcome?"

If any ladies think that a vice officer can not also have fake jobs with what appear to be perfectly good phone numbers and references.......then we are again back to that false sense of security. And that brings us back to what I think is the best safeguard. Which is do not discuss money or activities, again read what the lady in the above link protected herself by doing.

Alias licenses are issued in a fictitious name, allowing officers in undercover investigations to possess a valid Texas driver's license using a phony name and address. The Texas Transportation Code,
Section 521.452, spells out how the
Texas Department of Public Safety can issue so-called "alias driver's licenses" for any officer who is working on undercover investigations. It requires a written letter from the police department that employs the officer
I'd guestimate that about 80% of the women I've scene, never asked for the envelope as we started our "meeting". It was just assumed that it was there, and it was, and they tended to it when things were done.

In the end, belonging to sites like this and participating is one of the best things you can do to ensure some safety.
