To the LEGAL escorts. Couple of questions inside.

[TT300Z]

How do you feel about all the touring escorts coming through Edmonton, and probably 99% of them are not licensed nor have a security check. Their prime method of getting clients is through here, CL, webpages and other forums.

How do you feel about all the non-licensed escorts advertising on forums and CL that are from Edmonton, and are clearly skirting the law by not getting a security clearance and license?

And to the clients reading this, how do you feel being put at risk by these girls should you be on the recieving end of a bust?

Just curious as there are a lot of unlicensed escorts advertising on CL and the forums. To me it isn't fair to the legit escorts who have their security clearance and pay licensing fees.

If any escort services had the intestinal fortitude they should be complaining to the city and vice as this creates a very unfair competition and is illegal.

Then again, knowing most of the owners of escort services in Edmonton, I understand why they lay low. I mean, you don't want to draw heat, but if you are running your company legit it shouldn't be a problem filing a complaint, right?

JaimeLame, nice try making this thread about YOU, which it isn't (as you whine about whiners).

Your Victoria license doesn't mean shit in Edmonton. It shows that if you do work here with it, you are clueless and working illegally.

City of Edmonton wants an Edmonton Police Service security clearance, not one from the R.C.M.P. Your info is terribly skewed if you think you have "mobility" to work here, lol.

Any ladies in EDMONTON who are legally licensed to work in Edmonton, what are your thoughts on girls like JaimeLane who think they are correctly licensed to work here, yet do it illegally?

I beg your pardon if I'm wrong on this issue. I was under the impression that in B.C the only type of liscense one needs is a Business Liscence not one for practicing your specialities. In applying for a B.L for the services provided a security clearance is required. To my knowledge Edmonton is the only place in Canada that actually liscences the "service" which , to me translates as "living off the avails". I could be wrong , are there other places that require a liscense for service?

 

[TT300Z]

kitty_boots, this is about Edmonton.

In Edmonton, you have to have a security clearance from the Edmonton Police Service. If you go in with an RCMP clearance, you will get turned away. Then you have to take your security clearance, go in to licensing, and apply for your Escort license.

Some places work different. For example, I believe in Ft. McMurray you don't need a license at all.

The City of Edmonton has already been challenged in court by a working prostitute regarding the law, and living off the avails. She lost. The City won.

Regardless, this thread was about escorts in Edmonton, and how they feel about all the out of towners coming here, taking business away from them, and to top it off, doing it illegally.

...if I occupy your attention to the point that the distraction angers you baby.

You started this thread to instigate a response,

and I admire that, perb can get a bit dull once in a while.


Are you a lady, or a agency owner,
looking to provoke action against touring girls?

This is the review section, and you've asked a 411/pole question genius.

If you don't want a response, don't ask a question.

Bark away....its time for work and I'm done playing with you.

This thread was for Edmonton escorts, not crackheads from Victoria.
Exit stage left, sunshine. You are way out of your league on this one.
*flick*

Speaking of which TT.....lol seriously now, with all your BS throughout PERB I would think that you may not have anything better to do....oops thats right you dont !! As no-one would take you on !!! Are you bitter??? tsk tsk...why dont you go check your emails from spar and maybe you have a client which doesnt know better.

-Pokerp-

 

[jimmy hoffa1971]

TT can give it but not take it

Seems as though TT can give ALOT of critcism but when it comes to receiving it, not so well. They can start off talking intelligently (rarely), but whenever they are confronted, tries to make everyone else look foolish...

A piece of advise TT... "Better to be thought the fool, than open your mouth (or in this case, type) and remve all doubt."

I know that will get their blood boiling, and will probably lead to a well thought, intelligent response... ROTFLMAO!!!!

 

[NewSteele]

Can someone not ban this person? (TT)

On the other hand, we can just ignore everything that he/she/it posts.

There seems to be a lot of bitterness coming from that direction.

Get a life.

What you've stated is fact re: Edmonton Liscensing, you need one to work legally. Laws are laws and without them anarchy would prevail( heaven forbid). How do we go about changing them? Do I run in the next election with the issue being my platform. What exactly does this liscence do for your benefit? Free yearly medical exam? Allows you deduct clothing etc. off your taxes? Do you have access to a" Creep List" provided by Edmonton's finest? Me thinks not. It is however another lucrative money grab by city council. I am a live and let live kinda gal. I encourage my clientel to experiment, see other ladies, have fun. I certainly don't want my encounters to become stale and boring like a bad marriage. Variety is the spice of life and I really don't go along with that "competition" thing that's constantly being drilled into everyone's head. We are all unique and special in our own way and appealing to somebody somewhere. I say come on down ladies, liscensed or not. The more options and choices the more business to be had.

 

[mikael]

As the pooner, if a bust happens I'm not too worried as they go after the sp.

And when they go after the SP, last I heard it was about 5k in fines

Agree 100%, the license is a tax grab, the city likes it's revenues it does!

Jamie, your Victoria license is useless here, you'll need a City of Edmonton one, because if Nick and Vice decide to make an example one day of a visiting SP, you may be the lucky gal.

As for asking for a response, yes TT was asking for one about the EDMONTON situation regarding traveling sp in particular, so what happens in Victoria is meaningless as far as this thread is concerned

Which begs the question, why did you post in this thread about Edmonton, are YOU trying to instigate another flame war? What is your agenda, please let us know

But in the meantime, please feel free to visit and work with your Victoria license

How many escort licenses does the city issue each year? I would be surprised if it was anywhere near 100.

I looked for the licensing prices in the bylaws and was surprised by the descrepancy between escort licenses and massage licenses.

I doubt the city is really making significant revenue off the licenses, but is instead trying to discourage escorts, but making incall massage work cheaper to get into. The interesting question is why? Safety?

In other words, you don't have a license, or a security check from the police.
So you are working illegally.

You realize vice is due for another round of checks soon, huh? Having a prostitution related charge on your record will stick with you for life.

Then again, I play by the rules. I don't have a criminal record, and can afford to pay for a license.

Sugarcoat it all you want, hun. But the law is the law, and any girl working in the City of Edmonton without a license is breaking it.

On a sidenote, some agencies do keep a list of bad clients. And agencies are less likely to get bad calls due to the way they are set up as opposed to the cheap assed ho's posting on craigslist and such. There is no layer of security whereas an agency has several.

Guess this thread kills any speculation that TT300Z is a touring girl.

I had a long talk with Nick about this, and he claims it is for safety. When you are legit and licensed there is a paper trail of every call, or at least should be. However, I think the safety aspect is b.s. and it is just a way for the city to meddle. It is not a cash grab. It is an information grab.

Almost all escorts tour. In fact, I can't think of any offhand that do not tour. Hate to burst your bubble, big daddy.

Not sure about SP's but MP's in calgary did require one a few years ago and a bust was done and there was a court case because the owner of the MP accused the City of "Living off the avails" or something of the sort. Not sure what ever came of the court case though.

I bet it's significantly more then 100, probably 10 times that or more. Look in the yellow pages under "escorts" they're all licenced, and all of their SP's are too, don't forget the turnaround at all the MP's in town, and they're all liscenced too, we have 30-40 MP's in town. All of which are checked regularly by vice for licences. and easily and average of 8-10 girls for at least half of those puts the total for mp's alone at around 3-500 a year. Minimum.

Looks like there are around 100 ads in the yellow pages. I would be surprised if each and everyone was a unique SP.

Responding to TT300Z constructive comments, how much information do the escorts have to keep? Do they have to hand over their records to the police?

This is from the City of Edmonton Escort bylaw. I have taken out the irrelavent parts of it...

Every Agency must provide a written report to the City Manager within 10 days from the end of each calendar month containing the following information regarding that month:
A complete list of every introduction arranged for each such Escort specifying the calendar date, time, and location.

Nothing is submitted to the police. Names and numbers are not necessary.

Ind. escorts don't have to keep track of anything, I believe. Nothing is submitted to the city, although I may be wrong. That is for agencies.

So are you getting licensed in every city you work in?
