I think it has been years since I saw a news article on EPS doing a prostitution sting. If your going to pick up a hooker, don't pick them up off the main road, when you see a girl, drive another block down, turn in and drive up to the corner she is standing on. Cops don't care if you pick up a hooker as long as your not pulling over on the main road and asking her to jump in your car there. So if the girl is not standing at a corner but walking down the block, go to the next corner and wait for her there.
Don't talk to a girl through your window, roll it down and make eye contact and she should be smart enough to come over and hop in with no words exchanged, otherwise something is wrong. Once she is in, ask if she can touch you and you can touch her, touch her down below skin on skin, now you know shes not a cop so discuss menu and price. Most hookers in Edmonton do $60 for a BJ (use a condom) and $80-$100 for FS.
Fact of the matter is most hookers in Edmonton are gross, though there will every now and then be one who is HOT or even just normal looking but dressed up real slutty and that's hot in its own way. Just be ready to go home empty handed and always get a good look at the girl before you let her into your car, so be ready to make a pass or two.
As for health and safety when it comes to hookers, the good ones might hook just once in a while to make ends meet and have a real job, so where she might see 5-10 guys a month and a SP sees 2-5 guys a day... Well do the math and always use protection and sound judgment.
Keep your doors locked, take all valuables out of your car or toss them into your trunk and only keep the cash your willing to lose on yourself. Lets face it, if its past 10pm seeing a SP/MP is just not a option.
Park somewhere discreet and away from the strip, if you get a bad feeling from the girl or she acts weird its better to just giver her the $60 and call it off, hey its only $60.
