What to say or do if caught by the Garda?

[acapona]

I think It's only a matter of time before I bump into a garda watching a premises and I'll be fucked.

Any suggestion on what to do or say?

Do you delete your call history / web history before seeing an escort? (on ur phone)

The phone you use should be a burner anyway, so it's not registered in your name.
If you do use a personal phone txt messages and call logs can be gotten from your carrier by the gards, so be aware of the content of your messages.
If caught, deny, deny, deny. Have a cover story and stick with it. They need evidence that you paid for sex, which is hard to do with two consenting adults in a private residence. If they don't have that they are just going to try talk you in circles, scare you with a charge and try get you to confess.
The gards do not care about you, arresting you for is more work for them, they want big fish (pimps, trafficers) and to shut down brothels (2 or more people on premises where sex is on offer for money). If you are arrested it probably because they want to send a message or scare others from being in the area for this kind of behavior.

That shouldn't happen until you are inside the premises — but you shouldn't bring the Garda with you

Sensible post, NoRollToll13, but please could you tell me what a "burner" is in mobile phone-speak?

Sorry to be imbecilic, just not from Ireland

Something disposable, dispensable, expendable.
And in the case of the quote you mention, I would imagine non-traceable.

You can buy a cheap (20 or less) pay-as-you-go mobile in Tesco (for example), and buy top up vouchers, all without presenting ID. If you pay cash (and don't use a loyalty card!), you have a phone which cannot be traced back to you.

Have it from good authority that the main emphasis is going to be raids on well known brothels. Too much work and resources required to deal with independents. Also constitutional issues about phone surveillance for minor criminal activity plus would be difficult to prove that sex had taken place in most situations. This is not the case for a raid on a brothel which currently take place anyway the big difference of course is that your ass will end up in the dock alongside the working girls. One point worth noting is that in reality very few girls operate outside of a technical brothel under current Irish legislation. I was quite surprised recently to discover a well known classy escort who I always assumed operated solo from an upmarket apartment was actually sharing with another well known classy escort. This of course constitutes a brothel and as such could in law at least be raided under old and proposed new legislation. Whatever way you look at it this is very bad news but as I have said previously there is a good chance the law will be made redundant or be watered down as a result of legal challenge. In the meantime enjoy your last few legal rides!!!

When is this law coming in?
