I was asked this question in another thread:

I have a sinking feeling that the answer is yes and yes but had to ask anyway. Have you heard of this occuring?

There's been a number of threads lately where providers have "screened by Google" and then have gotten themselves in trouble, even arrested. To me, the question isn't "Can the cops put fake shit on the internet?," because the answer to this question seems obvious to me -- "OF COURSE!" Rather, the question is "Why the fuck are you using Google to screen?"
To answer my own question, I sought out a volunteer provider who allowed me to hook her up to ShysterJon's Magic Brainwave Machine. The machine printed out the following:
"I know that prostitution is a crime and I can spend time in jail if I'm arrested. I also know it's a different kind of crime because of the stigma society associates with prostitution. So if I'm arrested, I may find it hard or impossible to get credit at a reasonable interest rate, go to the school of my choosing, or marry the man I want to.
Accordingly, I know I need to screen very carefully to avoid getting arrested. So to screen I think I'll use (next to an episode of the Rush Limbaugh Show) the most unreliable source of information ever conceived by the human mind -- THE INTERNET. YEAH!!! I'll screen by running the guy's info through Google!"
Who am I to question such lucidity of thought, being a mere lawyer? But my pea-brain tells me that perhaps a better way to screen would be to check with two established, well-known, Eccie-member providers given to you as references by the man who wants to come inside your sugar walls.
To providers who use Google to screen: Save yourself time and just turn yourself in
