Hello all,
...a arrest has a tendency to brake friendships .Knowing other hobbyist might backfire ?
When someone has never been arrested it is very hard to predict how he will react and feel about his arrest and what he will be willing to do ,to have the charges dropped or reduced .
Police investigators are specialist in stirring shit amongst people ,to gather infos they will intimidate and pretend heavy sentences or penalties ,It is predictable already that hobbyist escort operators drivers etc ..that where never arrested will crack under pressure and provide names and situations and valid leads.

To say that whatever goes on behind closed doors is private in regards to seeing sex workers and feel secure with that view once C-36 is in effect is not dealing with the real risk.
I can't see how anyone can feel there's no need to make adjustments to their hobbying habits just out of sensible caution. I'm sure many if not all of us are somewhat concerned about a simple thing as the fact that phone numbers are being kept, and that is probably true for those with the lowest profile such as foreigners who don't hobby a lot. What more for locals who have built up a huge record.
It might be logical that having built up a network of trusted friends and close business connections you can trust that you might feel safe. Meeting people at GTs and becoming closer should reinforce that comfort and feeling of security. But one forgets this all developed in a basically no-threatening atmosphere where everyone tended to feel very safe, secure, and could felt free enough to relate to other people with confidence that they expected nothing would change or become a serious risk to their privacy, their identity, or intrusions into their activities. But with C-36, regardless of the level of enforcement, all of that built up confidence and aura of security has changed, and when people, escorts, owners, hobbyists don't feel so comfortable any more self-preservation means the security bubble of trust is going to shrink and connections that looked so good and positive before are going to be questioned more. The more connected you are to more people the greater the risk to the entire bubble you thought was your security. One key arrest and anyone in that bubble could be affected because of the same strong connections they thought brought security.
Overall, I don't think kit's going to be as risky as it seems. But if the LE decides to make a splash in this area I'm going to be very grateful I'm distant and not so deeply connected as some, and I don;t think the LE will just ignore the law no matter how we here or the people of Quebec feel about it being misguided or wrong.
This whole law make no sense in the first place... i don't understand why people don't realize that. The simple fact of dating is paying for sex more often than not, you end up paying for drinks, going out, gifting her stuff. Basically by the new law standard you can't give your girlfriend a jewel cause if she has sex with you later on its prostitution?
To say we pay those people to run our country is unbelievable.
Despite all the wry comments about how going to a sex worker is cheaper and more efficient than going through all the work it takes to have a girlfriend and the high risk disappointment versus a guarantee, society has still not accepted that direct payment for sex is the same, whether it's about ethics, morality, or just the ish factor, and that's without how the media and others constantly portray the trade in tv, movies, and print. Otherwise there wouldn't be any C-36.
Bonne chance,
