Overheard in a diner while I was drinking coffee rather discretely......a state trooper and a vestal police officer talking about their latest backpage and "hobbyist" sting in the binghamton area....and how it is going strong. As I was alone and reading a paper and trying not to look too interested, I overheard all I could, which was, there is a HUGE statewide and countywide sting going on ...BEWARE.....everyone is a target and I guess there is nothing else for LE to do this month as it is all out .....focusing on BP ads, but they are going for men and women, setting up stings EVERYWHERE....since I specifically heard VESTAL PD I would say stay away from the vestal area rendez-vous spots with unknown providers/clients. They have undercover women and men.(They were bragging on how hot some of their women looked and how stupid the men were that were responding...also how skanky some of the real women out there were.....) Couldn't hear more without calling attention to myself...but I do plan on stopping in for coffee tomorrow........
BE CAREFUL. If anyone has more info, please pass it along............
