Just asked this question on a regional thread but probably better here.

I've heard on this site that it's a hefty fine and placement on the sex offenders register if you're caught kerb crawling.

A street hooker told me last week that the police will turn a blind eye the first time. Is this complete bullshit? Anyone have any experience of this?

Even if what the hooker says has some validity you don't really want to rely on mr Plod turning a blind eye, do you - what if he has had a bad day and needs to take it out on someone ?

I would not take a chance nowadays.  It is titillating to drive through that part of my local city during twilight but the girls can generally be bettered by researching on the internet.

I did this type of punting for many years in the eighties, it was a great source of girls ---- but bear in mind the Internet had not really taken off.

It is impossible to say what would happen if you got caught, you may just get a verbal warning, I doubt very much that you would be put on the sex offenders register but is it really worth the risk with so many other alternatives. :unknown:

Kerb crawling

Any person who attempts to solicit the services of a prostitute from a vehicle whilst driving on a street or in a public area will be breaking the law as per the legislation set out in the Sexual Offences Act 1985. What is more, this type of activity, often referred to as ‘kerb crawling' is an offence as per section 71 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 if it can be demonstrated that the activity caused grievance or annoyance to others who live in the area or if the behaviour is repetitive or persistent.

The penalties for those found guilty of kerb crawling include a top fine of £1,000 and a disqualification from driving under the Powers of the Criminal Courts Act 2000. As well as these punishments, offenders may be presented with an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO), a civil injunction or an acceptable behaviour contract.

I believe that you can still be guilty of an offence.

Inspector Leona Scurr, of Notts Police, said she was hopeful the new legislation would lead to more kerb-crawlers being caught. She said: "It makes it easier to catch kerb-crawlers and foot punters."

It all depends on the police authority for the area you're in, some places in England have a designated area where it's allowed, in others they'll make an example of you if you're caught.
There's no consistency throughout the country when it comes to prostitution.

It's also against the law to smoke in your car with children present, so far not a single prosecution.

I did kerb crawling for around 10 years and got a couple of verbal warnings, that's all.

Maybe because you can see exactly what you are getting.

Adultwork is shit and getting worse, hundreds of Romanians or headless photos.

I've never risked it in UK but have done so abroad

Its very different to an AW booking and in many ways adds something to the experience - and its not the risk factor or the fact that you can get a decent blow job from an attractive 20 something year old  for 15 quid !

You will never know before doing it what may happen if the police catch you, you may get away with a verbal warning, or they may decide to nick you, and the law now says you only have to be caught once to get done. So its at the discretion of the police what they do.

Enforcement varies acceoss the country but most are clamping down hard.  With the exception of Holbeck in Leeds, the penalties far outway the rewards.

Its a shame coz thats where i cut my teeth and the buzz is unrivaled but youd be foolish to do it nowadays

Unless it's the same plod he isn't going to know it's your first time, I doubt they keep records of people they've just moved along, it would have to be some sort of official warning and one that future plod could access, once it's recorded with the police then it's there forever, if you need a CRB check then it would be there as much as if you had a fine.

Wouldn't it?

You couldn't be further from the truth. They know who the Kc are. They dont need to stop you. Yes it will show up on a self disclosure (AKA CRB) only if the chief constable believes its relevant for the reason of the CRB check in the first place.

The scene is almost non-existent here in Glasgow due to at least one sick fuck who was killing them.  Got a few BJs back in the day when absolutely pissed and was worried sick when a tabloid threatened to release CCTV footage of punters due to unsolved murders.  Ask me sober and I'm not even remotely interested but have been known to take a wander half-heartedly when drunk as I sometimes drink in that area near RLD (bad idea!).  Been approached a few times by a very plain girl who is very brazen and doesn't care how many people are around.  Last time was outside a well known gay bar and was easy to resist.  Then saw some guy get lifted 5 minutes later while, what looked like a hooker, walked away.  Surely they both get lifted in that situation?

Not worth the risk or embarrassment.  Don't be an idiot like me and drink near RLD's either.  I don't think there's any hidden gems on the streets in this day and age.

I've been on a bit of a run of it of late. Developed into bit of a habit. This thread has sobered me up a fair bit. That and a few horrible skanks I ended up picking ups  :thumbsdown:

Not worth it especially when there is a reasoable go to milf from Craigslist that would blow me for 20 quid.

And you know that how??

There are people on here that have have extensive experience of SWs. Some SWs say they do it for the element of choice. They get to see the punter first and don't have to get in the car if they don't like the look if them. Compared to that AW and parlour girls have a more limited choice if any.

My observation is that it is often when the law comes down very heavily that only junkies risk it. Otherwise I've had housewives and students. They do it a few times when they need to and pretend it never happened -- unlike when their pictures are on the Internet or when they have been holed up in a brothel.

I believe that you can still be guilty of an offence.

I could give Leona a tip on how to catch more punters: just make it a maximum £5 fine.  :cool:

I'm suggesting you are completely full of shit for burping on something you have zero experience of. You question is also annoying rubbish, and if all you can do is play games then I can't be bothered answering. You sound more like someone who wants to see prostitution banned.

Am I really suggesting a lot of SWs don't drink or do drugs? I've stated my thoughts quite clearly based on experience. All you've done is whine.

1. The extent to which SWs are a 'problem' for dickheads is very much down to police attitudes. Liverpool at various times has had some of the nastiest police attitudes towards prostitutes.

2. Some SWs will drink or take drugs - as a punter I have been more interested in prossies that don't. Some AW women are probably trafficked - as a punter I have been more interested in prossies that aren't.

3. You clearly have no experience of punting with SWs. You are only concerned with ones that have been a 'social nuisance' for you.

Today in this country that's true, at least everywhere I'm aware of. Wasn't always the case. Glasgow and edinburgh had thriving scenes for a whole, so did northern England.

Switzerland still has thriving scene though overpriced. I hear the government have even introduced street signs for designated areas.

Offline Jonestown

There were good areas in London, many years ago it's true, but certainly nothing skanky about them.
Punting was immediate then, no hanging about, same when phone box carding started, you could phone up and be on the job 15 minutes later. Now it's all plan ahead, like applying for a mortgage, plan a, b & c. All because the business has expanded and there is so much rubbish about.

When MPs want to shag a cunthole or butthole for cash they don't want to be seen in a red light area -- bad for career. So AW or upmarket alternatives -- are the order of the day and banning bite they don't like makes for good publicity and helps their fight against "this terrible evil".

Then you should open your fucking ears. I've been shagging prostitutes probably longer than you've been having hot breakfasts. Couldn't tell one from another. It doesn't 'sound like' anything to you because you feel like starting a petty argument with phrases you've heard elsewhere that mean sod all in the present context.

I suggest you go and pack your satchel ready for tomorrow and come back when you have something mildly intelligent to contribute based on punting experience. If you have any.

All the time we are told that the police take action via "Intellgence lead policing". On all sorts of crime. THAT is the sort of intelligence they are acting on. So yes, all contact will be recorded, acted on at the time or not.
