Need help /raided and computers seized

[Clare]

I was busted for doing domme/sub sessions out of my apartment a few years ago. After that I completely got out of doing sessions as i never wanted to go thru plain clothes cops storming into my place and terrifying me again. It was my first offense and I got off with a low level misdemeanor. What it came down to was although there was no actual exchange of sex I was not zoned/liscensed for nudity for $.
I suspect Empress M's neighbors may have caught on to what she was doing due to simple traffic. God knows the last thing any of my clients would ever have wanted to do was bother a kid or draw attention to themselves in any way, but doing this in a residense catches up to a lot of people. The fact that no arrest was made seems to me that they really can't prove any kind of sex or even nudity for money or that they were trying to get her on obscenity with her sites but then wouldn't it have to have been federal cops. Maybe the whole thing is just to run he rout of town, and use her materials to find out if she is connceted to any kind of larger sex ring. Or maybe just a local hard on for incall hookers. Anyway , I don't know if she feels confident enough to post on this board anymore but I would liek to hear how things come out. Of course get a lawyer, FSC can reccommend great ones and after her experience I am sure she'll reconsider working independently ever again. From what i see on her sites she has taken the donation info down, probably a good move.

Granted I'm pretty new at this whole adult webmaster thing, but in my overall experience I've never seen people in trouble with law enforcement officials who weren't doing anything wrong.

Cops usually have better things to do than give trouble to tax paying, law abiding citizens who are minding their business.

I guess donations for services like that wouldn't exactly be reported on a tax return though. Tax reasons are probably one of the biggest areas that would attract the attention of the authorities...

Wish I could say the same thing! Even though I have never gotten more than a speeding ticket or two, let alone be arrested for any type of illegal activity, I have had my apartment searched at least six times in the last 5 years and my car / bike searched more time than I can remember.

Why?! Probably because I do ride a bike, have long hair and look like your prototypical biker. Mind you I fly no colors or belong to any affiliations (except porn).

Quite simply, I'm just a big ugly fucker, with long hair and a beard, who rides a bike but that's enough to warrant police attention even when I'm sitting at home in my skivvies posting porn on my blogs.

Stick around a few months. Or read up on the history of the smut business in America.
