Who in their right mind would get verified??

our data managed as Citigroup supposed to manage our data? We don't know and if they don't we won't have any recourse.

exactly! no bailouts, just fake virtue signaling stigmatizing outed sex workers and their clients. the stigma seems worse than the law (which reinforces the stigma, but likely doesn't pose a threat if you stay away from the sketchy places).

I agree with 100% of what you said - except this part. Most places i have worked with now stream their video feeds offsite. so its a little more tricky for LE to get a hold on them if they are fishing. But the negative side is that many of the sites they use to dump the video on are not very well secured- open to hacks.

Some don’t record it’s just a Cc unit to see who is around. I think it would be stupid to record.

i will never do it again I tried to see Suki at xoxogirlsny, gave my doc-ID , gave references and knowledge that i seen suki at FNY/ML168 in the past
but the minute they ask for race and i said black I was giving the middle finger blocked on twitter no one pick up the phone. now I believe she's gone back home
and i miss her because of their paranoid ass.

I guess many of those who wouldn't provide ID to Amp's are still uploading their photos on social media and share their location that is accessible to pretty much anyone on the web lol

Our entire hobby is just risk management - from std (bbbj vs cbj etc..), LE, family/relationships (for guys with wife/gf), and meeting strangers in hotel rooms. We all make our choices and live with the consequences, only you know your risk tolerance.

This whole issue of giving agency your driver license, photo and other personal info isn't so much about identity theft or getting caught by the cops, the real risk is this info being leveraged to blackmail/going after you at your home/family or place of work, or getting tangled in criminal investigations because your info is on record - ie if someone got hurt in one of the session (could be years after you gave the info) and cops finds the agency and go question everyone on that computer, try to explain that to the family.

If you are single and self employed and plan to stay that way, then obviously it doesn't matter much. But not everyone is in that situation forever. I am writing this for the new guys who are just starting the hobby, as there is a misunderstanding what the risk is from many of the posts. Just something to think about, at the end you determine your risk tolerance, make the choice, and live with it.

Safe hobbying everyone

I never had a single amp ask for id, this whole thing is only used by escort agencies...amp you just walk in, i never had any issues, just dont wear a police badge or act like a thug and you be fine.

but the minute they ask for race and i said black I was blocked by their paranoid ass.

that's another one! when providers demand a picture, i'd guess that many of them use that as a replacement for putting the blatantly racist "no black guys" in their ads.

they all recorded cause the real owner is back in flushing wherever watching and counting how many customers and how long.

Absolutely agree. Low volume indies in their 20s and (early) 30s are where it's at. Higher price point, but the experience is actually worth having.

I've been thinking about making this my new year's resolution. seriously. Invest in one or two low volume relationships. How high is the "higher pricepoint" one can expect?

This happened to me at a different spot, when they closed down and reopened they wanted me to verify again when I sent my photo all of a sudden it was an issue.
