> Set Up By An Undercover Cop

> Here are the top ten instant alert signals that you should be listening for
> in any conversations you have with a new client. Paying attention to them
> may spare you from getting busted!
> 
> 10- He asks you to bring him some drugs. Often cops will try to get an
> added drug charge against you in order to "cinch" an arrest and be able to
> manipulate you better. DO NOT AGREE TO BRING HIM ANYTHING STRONGER THAN
> BREATH MINTS! IF YOU WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE, BE SURE THAT THEY NEVER ASK YOU
> TO TAKE DRUGS TO A CLIENT OR ANYONE ELSE.
> 
> 9- He asks, "So how long have you been doing this?" PLAY DUMB, ASK HIM,
> "WHY, WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN?"
> 
> 8- You hear the smoke alarm go off in the other room (if you are visiting
> him either at 'home' or in a hotel) It is most likely a bunch of horney
> cops in the other room smoking as they watch you get undressed on the video
> monitor. If you do get arrested, insist on getting paid for the strip show.
> 
> 7- He promises to order drinks but then his pager goes off He is not
> supposed to drink on duty - although he may. If he doesn't have any
> beverages to offer you, he has no class anyway. Make him order lots of room
> service before you ever discuss business! Order the most expensive bottle
> of champagne, then, wait until it arrives and uncork it. At least get a
> good meal on the taxpayers before you go to jail and have to eat peanut
> butter sandwiches!
> 
> 6- He says, "why don't you hum and clap and do a little dance for me?"
> Clapping is usually the signal for the other cops to come in and make their
> arrest. You are not required to be the instrument of your own undoing. If
> he starts clapping, grab your purse and run!
> 
> 5- He asks you to get undressed but he won't. If you are being videotaped,
> he will not undress for you so if he acts shy but he wants to see you get
> naked, refuse to unless he does first. Don't even touch him until he is
> completely naked. Ask him to grab himself, do a little dance and hum for
> you- that will amuse the jury when the tape is played in court if he is a
> cop. [In some states, the police are allowed to have sex with you first and
> then arrest you. So, this sign might not work. Also, the police can use a
> real client as a witness against you - someone who is paid by the
> government to have sex with you and then testify in court against you ...
> to protect you from exploitation, you understand!)
> 
> 4- He counts out the money aloud as he pays you. If he has so little class
> that he would count out the money rather than just discreetly hand it to
> you, then something is terribly wrong. It is probably being video taped.
> Act shocked that he is paying you. Tell him you don't know nuthin' about no
> stinkin' money. Insist that he stop or you will have to leave because you
> are not that kind of girl. DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT SEX AND MONEY.
> 
> 3- He insists upon being explicit about a sex act. . . "do you do it from
> behind?" or, "I'd like an American specialty.. . " If he is a cop, he wants
> to get you to agree to a sex act - either straight sex, oral sex or anal
> sex. He is not supposed to say what he is looking for but must try to get
> you to say it. Play dumb and ask him, "Why, whatever do you mean?" Of
> course, with legalized entrapment, he can always revert to suggesting the
> sex act himself and get you to agree to it. Still, DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT
> SEX AND MONEY.
> 
> 2- He asks, "what do I get for my money?" Play dumb as above and ask him
> what ever does he mean. DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT SEX AND MONEY
> 
> 1- A stranger calls and tells you that his buddy Joe (whom you don't know)
> says you are lots of fun and he wants to have some fun, too. Check it out.
> Tell him to have your mutual friend call you to confirm this. If he says
> his friend is out of town, tell him you are out of town too, forever. If
> your mutual friend does call, ask questions about his referral. Ask what
> his friend does for a living and where he works. Call information and see
> if such a business is listed. Call the business and ask for him by name.
> Even though your client could be setting you up, the odds are that the
> police won't go to all the trouble to set up a dummy company listed in the
> phone directory.
