If an agency gets busted...

[pilotman1]

Yea, the law is very similar in Canada. Law enforcement have to date chosen not go after agencies, but there is nothing in th law that prevents them from doing so in the future.

In the US case, the agency phone had over 5,000 customer names. Police went after the 35 clients with > 400 text messages with the agency. They had nothing more than text messages and footage from cameras in the building hallway.

Pretty sure there are laws in Canada that could technically take lots of this stuff down too.

How can I get a Burner Phone please

Go to your local Rogers store just like I did

How do some providers / agencies detect when you are using an app number? Are there certain apps that use numbers that appear legitimate?

Don't you still need to provide personal information to obtain a number?

No not for a prepaid account. Put whatever name you want on it because there is no credit evaluation.

Why would agencies keep clients info that would not be wise!

Good question. But what kind of info do you mean? When I book with an agency I use by handle name and they got my cell#. Besides that they got no other personal information.

Ahh okay. Well I always give my handle. So they got nothing but my number. I guess get a prepaid account to be safe.

Yes for now. Selective enforcement. That could change at anytime, do not take it for granted.

Many agencies come and go never had issues

I've been reading the replies on this thread over the past 2 weeks and I'm seriously starting to consider leaving agencies an MPs alone... or at least taking a huge break from this activity. Scary.

The only way they can really do anything is if they operate a sting... Aka put an add and have a decoy and arrest you once you show up to the location.

Even if they have acces to an agency phone with our numbers, can they prove anything from texts like "his Sarah available at x hour"?

As for Bianca IF her charges end up true and she is condemned, it will be about said charges, they won't hunt her clients.

Hihi!!! Coming from someone on merb

« his Sarah available at x hour » …. Really ??? I doubt very much that you can have a date with a sex worker with just one phrase…

 

[Giselle Montreal]

Thought it was legal in montreal long its done by internet

It's not legal, no. And clients are criminalized in Canada.

And sexworkers too

We have partial immunity, until we do what's criminal in the new law. But we can sell our own services, gain and keep the money from our own sexual services, but we can't sollicitate, for instance.

Exactly…. and web sites, adds on different platforms, it’s a form of solicitation.. especially when there are photos, videos, but, your right, as long as you don’t sollicitate, you are ok. But so far, courts haven’t ruled on this exact matter anyway… but with the new case in Sherbrooke .. will see

Its beyond me that the state has any power over what we choose to do with our own bodies. It's seriously time that prostitution be de-criminalized and regulated.

I'm surprised I havent found a thread on merb about mobilizing people / lobbying so we can get this done one day - and no I am not volunteering to manage that
