"a busy linked in profile, business cards, and a drivers license that all point to the same person is a pretty good sign that that person ACTUALLY has the job they claim and they're not a cop."

It would seem almost trivial to create a believable linkedin profile that could fool anybody. I get linkedin requests all the time from people who I don't know who are trolling to build up a profile.

And "business cards"?

i don't think anyone is under the delusion that it is foolproof.

Obviously, cops can fake all that stuff. But if you're just an average sex worker, the law probably doesn't have it out specifically for you, and it's a lot lower hanging fruit to just go for the careless sex workers who don't even verify.

The amount of time/effort they would have to spend (while not necessarily a lot) wouldn't be justified by the probably non-existent increase in the total busts, unless they had an axe to grind against a specific provider for some reason.

Wait a minute: does the lack of quotes after "source:" mean you are speaking from personal experience? (Genuine question. At first, I though you were citing the title of some book.)

I guess a clue is that male prostitute generally have male client, not female.

"wouldn't be justified by the probably non-existent increase in the total busts"

Interesting thought. Almost similar to why cops don't do a better job of trapper speeders. And why they don't even catch speeders they sometimes just lurk in plain site to slow down traffic.
