Bill C-36, In Force 1 Month, Any Developments?
- Thread starter Imnoguru

I am not getting busted in real or imaginary raids so I am all good.
You totally missed my point and with what you further wrote, I can tell you got your legal degree from watching Criminal Minds and CSI. The fact that you are not even aware that an SP will not be arrested for selling sex just furthers my opinions on your education level regarding the law. I will stick to what actual police and lawyers have told me and many many many others who actually cared to find out the truth.
But you keep up with fear mongering if you prefer.
Agreed. Original post adds nothing that wasn't already discussed to death pre-C36, speculation aside.
Weren't these the people saying that Come December 6th there would be midnight raids on all the agencies and MPs in the city? and look, it didn't happen.
There are thousands of laws on the books and police have the power to decide which ones are priority when it comes to enforcement. The police don't have the time or resources to enforce every single law to the letter all the time. Yeah the are risks now, but there were risks before to. Any reputable agency or MP will have consulted with lawyers. Agency Operators and MP operators and facing way larger penalties because of this law and yet they don't seem all that worried. Escort agencies and MPs were already illegal under the old laws, yet people seem to have forgotten this.

Amazing how many comments are blasting Joy LeatherFace Smith and the Reformers.
Well done Gpideal!
A lady I know very well manages an Incall location which offers only one person on site at a time. She says that since the Bill passed, she has become crazy busy, and Is in fact scouting out a second building in a slightly different area, to be starting up soon. Business appears to be booming
This is the opposite of what a friend I have who also manages an incall service says has happened since the passing of the bill. Very interesting - who is right/wrong? There is likely no right answer.
Do not give false hope - everyone should still exercise caution and not buy into the tales that nothing is going to ever happen. Hobby - for sure, continue to hobby, but be safe out there boys.
all you single guys with nothing to lose keep us married guys posted if theres any stings or busts. we're waiting to dive back in. lol
well i would not bet on that... i suspect something is in the works. however as i don't use incalls and will only be seeing ladies i know or who have good reputations or good referals i will be carrying on all be carefully
These are exactly the people who should be charged. I don't think anyone has a problem with LE targeting someone like this. Too bad C-36 throws the baby out with the bathwater :frusty: :frusty::frusty::frusty:
Exactly- I worked at an upscale spa that was "busted". It has always been illegal to see even an independent in a hotel or condo (for the provider AND the client). Common bawdy house laws have always been selectively enforced.
I have personally had an increase in requests- probably because I've been around for awhile... A month in, I still strongly-oppose the law and you betcha I won't be voting CONservative, but I am more comfortable with the change than I feared.
It's a different story for many of my more vulnerable peers I am sure however.
Exactly!
People were charged under the old law AND people WILL be charged under c-36. Guys should be morally supporting our ladies while preaching safe hobbying rather than trying to create panic and damaging the ladies' businesses.
I see that as more time passes people see , as I said before , the laws will be selectively enforced on specific problem situations.
As more time passes, this looks to be more the case. It was difficult to know that for sure right from the get go, however. I'm still wary that, at some point, police will bust someone just to show that see, we're enforcing the law.
Probably true, but as others have said - it seems likely they will go for the low hanging fruit, as it were.
