    Someone famous has said "I don't write 'em, I just report 'em!"

    Here it is: http://www.statesman.com/business/content/...craigslist.html

    Don&#39;t think for a second that the LE don&#39;t watch ALL sources, including here. CL is easier, all access, but we shouldn&#39;t get smug. This isn&#39;t a secret ya&#39;know.
    there was a special segment about CL on nightline yesterday too. Like it was such a SURPRISE to all that there is an "erotic services" area. In fact, the LE&#39;s should appreciate that CL keeps em&#39; off the streets, and out of the public eye instead of like a border town.
    The funny thing is that, thanks to the news purveyors, people that never even thought of CL as a source, now have super easy access to a porn site. It&#39;s like when they do the "expose&#39;s" on drugs, or bomb making, or prostitution, they don&#39;t have a clue how many new people they have just introduced to a new lifestyle, along with directions, sources, websites etc.

    I enjoyed a special on CNN about two weeks ago, on "how to do a Ponzi scheme", or last week... "all about counterfeiting". I now have TMI~!!!!

    Nuglet,

    I play golf on Thursdays with the Austin Police Golf Association. About half are retired LE, one third active (APD, Travis Co Sheriff, TABC, etc. even a couple of past chiefs play on occasion.) The rest have never been on that side of the law, like me! The word that I get from some of them is that they don&#39;t have much interest in the hobbyist and the ladies such as our Adorables. IF THEY HAVE TO, they will come down on the sw&#39;s and other public problems before they bother us, as long as we are not being stupid nor flagrant. Many would actually like to see some of our providers professionally (the providers profession not LE) but fear being found out.

    Well said. CL for the hobby isn&#39;t my cup of tea, although is great for a ton of other things like reasonable tickets to a ballgame or hiring an employee, but I cannot think of a more subtle escort ad site around. One simple word "erotic" -- if your aren&#39;t look for "it" you wouldn&#39;t visit it, at least until the media started sensationalizing it.

    If you do want a good non-hobbyrelated laugh, check out some of the other sections of CL like "missed connections" or "rants & raves" -- some of it you just can&#39;t make up.

    Never thought of CL as a "porn site". Maybe I haven&#39;t looked hard enough.

    Imagine the most corrupt county in America suing a web-site over prostitution. Maybe CL should send the DA a campaign contribution! BTW, I think prostitution was well established in Chicago before CL or the internet ever saw the light of day.

    CL is like the back section of most major cities free newspapers. If you look in the back you are sure to find some sort of Adult Services. Police departments target those ads. It just makes sense to me that they would target CL.

    just a matter of time before they come after backpage also. ive never posted at either one because the ads there reminded me of a trailer park or truck stop and thats not my style at all.


    thanks for confirming what i had already suspected. hope houston authorities take a similar approach . if not being a nuisance and no one complains, why would LE waste taxpayers money? the media has made a big deal about craigslist, thats why they are being targeted. &#39;

    at least on the other websites, i havent seen any nonsense like the underage stuff. lets face it, if LE wants to bust us, all of us are vulnerable, whaddya gonna do? providers - screen, screen, screen and if u get busted, take your lumps, please be charging enough and putting some of it away for the inevitable court case Hobbyists - do your best to check reviews and talk to the gals and go with your gut.
