The allure is we show people good times and many of the Top ladies from Texas visit us and return.
We also have some of the best local providers in the provider industry.
Why make such negative comments on something you know nothing about.
Yes we have stings and think it is money wasted but I have seen 5 or 6 stings in Texas in the last few months. Does not make your comments relavent.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Yeah, I admit I was out of line. My boyfriend was born and raised in Shreveport, he has never been in any trouble with the law. I have many good friends who live in Shreveport. My thoughts were not about people who live in Shreveport.
I am scared by what I see happening. Then today, I thought back about a news story I saw in the very early 1990's. I was on active duty in the military, and had never been anywhere near Texas. The Dateline story was about overzealous policing in that area, targeting out of state licenses and pulling them over on the hwy. for no good reason and accusing the driver of criminal intent and seizing the cars.
That, combined with what my boyfriend tells me about a friend he had who was a very corrupt high ranking LE and all the news of late about stings just bothered me. I was definitely triggered. I just hate to see myself as a person who could get cuffs slapped on me and thrown in jail in an instant, and I get really scared. I have worked all my life and never had a job that I could fully support myself on until I started doing massage ten years ago when I was laid off my last job and had to pay bills.
Until then, I had just assumed that lecherous people and such were in this business. I had absolutely no idea how many wonderful, cool people I would get to know doing this, who were just like me and otherwise not out committing crimes. I don't drink or smoke. I claim everything I make to the IRS. I just wish I was not considered a top priority for the cops to arrest. That really, really bothers me. If I go out and try to get a regular job with no college degree and no possibility to pay for college outside of getting a super expensive student loan, about the best thing I can do is some kind of a driving job because I have a great driving record but that is it.
I just feel very marginalized right now, like so many do nowadays and I feel vulnerable because I hate to think that the cops view me as public enemy number one. I had a former LE friend some years ago who told me that in the eyes of the police, a woman who does what I do is considered worse than a shoplifter. I would never shoplift anything. When I see any sort of police or public service personnel out in public, I ALWAYS look them in the eye and thank them and tell them that I appreciate them because I really do.
I am just really bummed out right now. Sorry for insulting Shreveport. The people who live there are amazing.
P.S. I realize it is difficult to understand, but LE absolutely DOES
want independent ladies. I found out when I read the texts of FBI to
an indie lady who was contacted by a handle on this board and had reviews,
but the handle was not hijacked from a known handle. The FBI used it exclusively, and they texted and called her for well over a week. They presented the handle as an adult male oilfield worker who had lots of money to spend. Unfortunately, the enticement of money will attract ladies as we all know. The handle sounded so nice and friendly and considerate. I was struck by how much time and effort the law went to just to entice. It was over a year ago, the last great FBI sting that was all over the news. If I had not read ALL the texts, I too would not have believed it. I was very disappointed, as it was clear to them that she was a single mom who arranged to have a babysitter and she drove a long way from out of state in the hopes of making 6 or 8 hundred bucks. I think that is very lazy way to police, and the amount of women arrested was huge so it was a big splash in the news. Of course, they caught some horrible scumbags but still.
Sorry for my long winded rant. I am really, really bummed seeing this as standard M.O. when there are much bigger fish to catch.
