Probably they do...maybe
Which is why I never show for shows anymore.
Them, and all the other tossers who show up.
My first response would be a resounding yes.
My second response would be - With the rise in reported crimes as a parent I would expect this site, and others like it, to be monitored.
To me, everything else is a side issue - I fully support Police using the internet to gather intelligence in this way.
Kat
Yes!
I need not say more.
Wilma
yes I voted.
A big fat YES.
I have no problems with the police reading my mails.
I would not post meet info on the site but would do that by phone.
Hopefully the police do use their computers for more than just typing.
I fully support police monitoring as long as they respect privacy if within the bounds of the lore (and yes i mean lore)
The Artificer is sure that our 'boys in blue' do peruse this site; and I haven't a problem with that. I hope they will see that most users are looking for simple, adult fun-most of it probably in our heads. If they want to hear some oddballs-then tune your walky-talkies into some of the telephone lines-(I confess, I have in the past tried them-without inhaling-but was sickened by the strange goings on). I really dont like 'family fun' and such euphemisms being lumped together with consenting adults doing what our genes-if not our village curate-would have us do. Ease off, noble constables, we are not the bad guys, we are merely innocent roses with a little too much sap.
I hope they do - I like the uniform :twisted:

And it's a pretty sad indictment that the vast majority of paedos have been apprehended by their lack of brains, by using their credit cards to access inet sites.
As has been said of the echelon system: it's main use is that of uncovering information about foreign competitors.
Is there a van outside ?
Yes.
Tele licence problem.
Are the law monitoring my email ?
Probably. If not, the ISP has to keep all emails sent for a minimum 6 years. So they've got a loada time.
OOpppss, gotta log-onto that site again...for about 5 seconds....that'll get them thinking.
Are they monitoring this site ?
Proabably not....just looking at the members names and then check their email address...even the ones are sorted....after all, a pervert is rarely single minded....one perversion leads to another....today a car park, tomorrow the world.
After all, you didn't REALLY think the 3 million public employees were there to provide services .....did you ?.
(another thing you may not know...along with emergency services, local councils also get your phone number when you call them....even with number witheld.....)
Big brother was an amateur !
Of course they'll believe you.........just flutter your eyelashes........no problem.
Of course, when all cars are fitted with the optional, gps based, locator then they'll all KNOW whether or not you were where you said you where.............accurate to the last few metres. You may even be at premium road-charging rate for a popular car park etc.
All the drive-bys will be known and tracked, and all the married blokes at gay sites will be divorced soon after !
The crooks, of course, will not be fazed in the slightest and will carry on being crooked. Your car will still be busted into when you're getting bent over the picnic table and the law will know where you were at the time...the crook will be anonymous, as usual.
(ps: wanna buy a genuine number plate squire.....the bloke's on holiday for 4 weeks so you can beat the city charging...ok ?)(you didn't REALLY think they made it hard to get car number plates to stop car theft...did you ?)
Take two paranoia pills a day for the rest of your life !
Interesting thread, interesting ideas and have to say that yes big brother is more than likely monitoring us...but having worked within the local law enforcement community and their efforts with internet developments have to say can't imagine that they have the local resources, knowledge or inclination to make every adult chat site/dating site an investigative issue.
If this site has been looked at, then the moderation will have made it a non starter in their interest, I should imagine. Despite all the wonderful communications intercepts Bin Laden ( will we be investigated cos I said that?) remains at large, sticking two fingers up at the US.
Despite the billions of intercepts made, it took a raid and a printed list of credit card holders to begin the world's largest crackdown on child porn users, yet the vast majority of those accused in this country were actually innocent and of the seven thousand plus named to the authorities only just above 350 plus were taken to court and only just over 200 actually convicted, thus many were innocently, the victims of credit card fraud etc( Guardian article sometime last week, so figures approx and festive spirit well imbibed by now, but you get the point I hope)
I agree with the posts here that the internet, sex sites, adult fun etc will and should be a focus for those who have responsibilties to us to help keep our children ( and those who may be "at risk") safe. However, don't put too much faith in the ability of our police forces to use the technology at their fingertips, afterall the police in the Soham investigation only got the leads they needed after they went through paper records, the IT route failing them at the outset.
Sorry to go on, I love conspiracy theories, but I like a perspective on them and that has to be based on the evidence we can see, and in my experience, the evidence base, and the failures that seem to occur all too often say that yes, we may be being watched, but I won't lose sleep over it just yet...lol...
A Merry Christmas to you all, a prosperous and happy new year, and don't forget to look over your shoulder!!!

Hi everyone...Well I voted no (the police don`t watch this site), on the grounds that they`re really much too busy watching out for real criminals such as motorcyclists having small numberplates, motorists doing one mile an hour over the speed limit, and, heaven forbid, patrolling up and down the dead-end and very dark local lovers` lane (I suspect they`re dogging...) No, they ain`t got time, methinks.
Merry chrissermouse!

Well, I said about the credit cards..........and as for the failures of IT, it wasn't.
The old saying holds true: Garbage in, Garbage out.
And if you don't put anything in, you get the same out.
The failures in the technology were failures in the human input system.
Having seen the system working at the moment, I know your mobile phone can be used to locate its position to a 200 metre radius in areas having extensive coverage.
The new systems will eventually be able to locate the handset position to within a metre.
The law in my town have a few "speed camera" vans wandering about that aren't, speed cam vans that is. They feature ....the number plates are read automatically and the dvla, ncro and insurance industry databases are queried for information...by the middle of next year every car with an MOT will also be on the database....Mr Policeman up the road stops the dodgy ones...and sometimes the DSS and benefits mob are there as well..
and this uses the yanks GPS system...With the advent of europes self-built-and-operated all things will then be possible !!
And probable.
I just LOVE conspiracy gossip
Yes the Police do read this forum, who do you think told me about sites like this?
Mind you i was told not to bother as i would not find anything of interest on sites like this.
But then who can tell for sure what i am in to?
I must stop reading my mail and go to bed, as i am out in about 12 hours looking for fun once more.
