This is a horribly misguided statement. Anything that can be used as evidence will be helpful to their case and a picture could easily be the first thing that identifies you and provides them a path to investigate you, locate you or collect other evidence.
You need to scroll up from where I wrote that and understand the context - other users encountering some pushy douche and mutually suspecting he was a cop because he was acting like a dom, demanded pictures in short order and when they declined he refused to to continue talking to them. When were talking about stuff like this.. I find its best to call a spade a spade to help people on the forum here be able to identify spades from cops.
I definitely could have chosen my wording better but to think the encounter they were discussing was law enforcement is absolutely asinine. but even cherry picking that one line of mine I still have to challenge it a little bit. Sure.. It may be a little risky for ME.. but thats also why I dont do it. nor were the other people involved in this convo. However where it poses some danger to me.. You and the gal that brought it up Could more or less feel free to swap pictures with impunity, and heres why. (granted I am taking on a couple assumptions about you and feel free to correct me if im wrong but...) Neither of you have a dog. Or any experience. All youre going to be doing is chatting about fantasies and if you WERE going to meet up.. perhaps it might be better to actually know who the other person was.. maybe to even identify them and confirm theyre not catfish or scammers just wasting your time? ive never heard of anyone getting busted for talking about dog sex online. its always for other things.
You understand to make a case, you actually have to do something illegal, right? and break the law in a manner thats worth prosecuting right,..!!? swapping photos with someone else. AINT THAT. swapping photos can lead to other unsavory things happening but as far as cops being on here, demanding a photos of you in five minutes, you say no and they move on... come on...
you ever seen those old episodes of to catch a predator? How many people you think chris hanson got arrested on that show for sending him pictures and then NOT meeting up. And how many of those pederasses refused to send a single picture of themselves and still walked through that door to.. take a seat,. you think that made it any better for them? Maybe if they were smart they woulda demanded irrefutable proof of who those girls were that they were planning to meet up with that could actually be vetted out and confirmed...!? is all im saying.,
sure this is all rampant speculation and feel free to consider me an idiot. there are plenty here, who have posted over and over again, that none of that is worth it and its best not to try and make any personal connections AT ALL. as the times are changing, and depending on where you live.. id agree with that statement a lot of the time already. but if you do seek to meet someone out... theres going to be an unavoidable amount of risk,
Using a different chat app, or sending a couple pictures of you.. will never do it on their own. It bugs me that a ton of nay Sayers out there are always dropping thus dumb shit and negativity about the perils of actually doing or trying something theye never have or will be brave enough to attempt.. kind of gets my goat. whilc they have very limited to none in personal experience, I can only draw from my own... entire lifetime.. of having nothing but successful, mutually enjoyable meets, encounters and interactions with people... so please excuse me for not being able to actually personally identify with what others have been saying on here.
Still, the concern for my own personal safety, that of my dug.. and the feeling im just far to careless and cavalier myself and lways have been to have any success in continuing.. makes ne consider pulling the plug, wipe my tracks and fade back into obscurity a very wise thing indeed. The times,.. are definitely changing... and no one online here.. that I want to meet. :/
