I don't think I'm a bad person, but it looks like I'm going to be a criminal
I guess I'll soon be finding out, but that's due more to personal circumstances rather than out of fear of being considered/classified as a 'criminal'.
It would be criminal to make criminals out of us!
as long as my phone number won't be re-directed to 0800 555 111, you're cool :cool:

Its the oldest profession in the world. Where there's a will there's a way.
Although I can understand the fears of some clients I believe all you's are doing is feeding the public beliefs of those who choose to use their powers to force their supposed morals into law. TOTRL & any other like minded lurkers will be loving all these fearful posts.
Any woman or man affected by the new law, which may I add hasnt been passed here yet, should do some research, use a bit of common sense & then decide whether or not the situation is still viable for them.
Escorting, prostitution or whatever you choose to call it is & has always been a moral issue not a legal one. The legal issue is children, men & woman being trafficked & forced into the industry. Of which clause 6 shall sadly be no benefit.
I'm not a criminal. I get a service I can't get at home. There is no harm in that.
Even at that how are they going to make "visiting an escort" illigal? I could be a friend of a lady who works as an escort and call around to see her. I could have money on me and she could have money in the apartment - how will the cops know what we are doing in the apartment - I could just be having a coffee!
Even ie the draw up a law where it is illigal for me to "buy sex" how will they know I actually purchased sex or indeed if I even had sex with the friend who I visited?
It all gets very confusing if you ask me!
They will threaten the escort with prosecution and/or exposure (based on advertising/phone records) unless she gives evidence that you paid her for sex. There will be high-level pressure to get at least some token convictions to "prove" that the law wasn't a waste of time so I reckon that's the way they'll go.
I honestly don't think the ladies I have met would be a pushover when it comes to defending themselves. As we have no idea as to how exactly the powers that be intend to form this new law we have no idea as to how it will be implemented or enforced.
I can't see getting escorts to grass punters up being a productive method of prosecution.
We have not seen the wording of the new law yet, but they say they are going to criminalise the client so yes, it would be a criminal offence.
This, at a time when petty theft and vandalism are no longer crimes, just "anti social behavior" the "punishment" being a police caution or an ASBO
Anti Social Behavior Order
What is the world comming to?
OMG. I sound like my dad
