Did you know Texas law allows providers immunity if they give evidence against a hobbyist?

Today's PSA from DFWs own Shyster Jon

Hello. Happy Thanksgiving, boys and girls!

I'm sorry to interrupt your regular programming here in Coed Discussions with something so factsy and frowny as the law governing prostitution in Texas. But I think you should learn something new today. Take a few minutes to read this, then you can get back to discussions regarding guys who don't wash their ass crack and girls whose hoochie smells like Charlie the Tuna died inside.

Did you know that, under Texas law, immunity may be granted to a party who engaged in prostitution and who gives evidence against the other party who engaged in prostitution? Well, it's true.

TEXAS PENAL CODE
Sec. 43.06. ACCOMPLICE WITNESS; TESTIMONY AND IMMUNITY.

(a) A party to an offense under this subchapter (that is, chapter 43, "Public Indecency," subchapter A, "Prostitution") may be required to furnish evidence or testify about the offense.
(b) A party to an offense under this subchapter may not be prosecuted for any offense about which he is required to furnish evidence or testify, and the evidence and testimony may not be used against the party in any adjudicatory proceeding except a prosecution for aggravated perjury.
(c) For purposes of this section, "adjudicatory proceeding" means a proceeding before a court or any other agency of government in which the legal rights, powers, duties, or privileges of specified parties are determined.
(d) A conviction under this subchapter may be had upon the uncorroborated testimony of a party to the offense.

See http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.u...E.43.htm#43.06

The effect of section 43.06 is that a provider (or a hobbyist, for that matter) who commits the offense of prostitution may be forced to "furnish evidence or testify" regarding her crime. Because the statute lists both "furnish evidence" and "testify," we must assume furnishing evidence means something different from testifying, such as giving a statement to the police, turning over electronic communications to the cops, or handing them the cash the hobbyist gave her, for example. Section 43.06 doesn't abridge the privilege against self-incrimination stated in the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because the statute expressly states that the evidence the provider furnishes can't be used against her in a prosecution for having committed the offense of prostitution.

Just something to keep in mind for hobbyists, including those who short, don't pay, or steal from providers, hobbyists who overstay time bought, hobbyists who are physically abusive to providers, hobbyists who covertly attempt BBFS, etc. The provider you fuck then fuck over may drop a dime on you to obtain revenge or as part of a deal to avoid prosecution. I think it is a prudent hobbyist who treats every provider like the princess she is inside, even if her beaver really smells like a beaver.

Now, back to your regular programming. Happy Turkey Day!
The law can't protect snitches, immunity from prosecution is the last thing a snitch should be concerned about, not all eccie gentlemen/ hobbyist are passive.
It would be bad for their business.

Or providing the condom with DNA evidence. Make sure to throw and flush.

Wonder if this would hold up in court though if challenged.
