"Is Craigslist Adult Censored the Beginning of the End?"
 
LAST EDITED ON 04-Sep-10 AT 04:03 PM (PST)
 
I heard a lawmaker in Tennessee is trying to pass a bill in congress that would in effect ban internet escort ads. The same premise they use to shut down a bar or club that is a nuisance because of illegal gambling, prostitution or drug arrests they will use to make internet sites shut down if the people posting ads are arrested and convicted of criminal acts including prostitution. I also heard they will use laws such as the wire law which bans a person from using a telephone "mobile or landline",telegraph or the internet for the purpose of committing certain crimes, the wire law is a federal felony. Then the worst is they are looking to make prostitution a felony on the first offense in a lot of states. In a lot of states it is already a felony on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th offense. It doesn't look good. What do you think is going to happen if these things take effect?

I think prostitution will be driven further underground, resulting in higher prices. There will still be a market.

   I think if they pass some new laws making it hard if not almost impossible to post on the net it will put a lot of providers out of business, especially part timers and amateurs. They will drive it out more into the street. If they make it a felony you might get it reduced to a misdemeanor with some jail time the first time or get a felony conviction with probation but then it will wipe a lot almost everyone out. You will have only super high end providers on the underground high roller, celebrity circuit and you will have bum ass crackheads. Tricks will find a drug dealer or a addict to steer him to a half way cute crackhead. It will knock the market all the way out. Tricks will wake up that you can get all the rbgfe and other stuff for $10 to $40 and that will be the end for the most part for the of biz as we know it.

   There is still the matter of out 1st amendment rights. Using the phone, land line, mobile, and telegraph...well I'd have to read that law. Seems to me that email could avoid the wire problem on the front end.

Making prostitution a felony is not going solve anything. You can't legislate morality. Women need money, which men are happy to offer for sex. Adult to adult, I do not have a problem with it. Ir will not stop if made a felony. It will just make it feel more stressful when it comes down to a need to hook for survival.

Why fill the jells with women who's "crime" is sex for money. In fact I hear more and more comments about legalizing it. Get the providers tested and health-care, keep them away from schools and churches. Allow sex workers to report violent crimes an being robbed. Then you have some equality.

Having 1st amendment rights is the issue here, if you ask me.

Sadly it may take some time to sort it out, and that only if Buckmaster cares.

I talked to a friend who is a lawyer and he said that if prostitution was made a felony it would still not completely wipe it out. It would be impossible to do that. But it would it cut down like 90%. The average client and provider would not take the risk to be labeled a felon and possibly go to prison.

The police and the courts would arrest and imprison mostly poor, desperate and drug addicted women. These type of women wouldn't have the money to pay for a high power criminal lawyer and would go to prison. They would be used as scapegoats and examples to scare the mainstream population not to provide or be a client. Most women who would entertain the idea of being a provider would be scared away and there would be no new generation of newbie providers or very few.

Almost all the women like us on RB Eros Backpage etc would just leave the biz alone and may-be try to keep a regular or two or get a sugar daddy. Mostly woman's groups and the clergy are pushing for this law to label us felons.

Legalization would never be widespread it would be like the Nevada brothels and very limited. There wouldn't be enough jobs for us to go around. Which might be their plan to make it a felony and then legalize it like the legal brothels on a limited basis like Nevada. They wouldn't worry to much about competition because to provide outside the brothel system it would be a felony. It is a very, very scary picture.

   Google the following words:

Felix Ortiz net online prostitutes felony

The first hit should say "Net online prostitutes, sez a Broklyn pol"
It's about a NY assemblyman Felix Ortiz from Brooklyn, NY trying to make prostitution on the internet a felony even for a first offense. They definitely want to make this a felony!
