My Book, "How To Get Laid In Salisbury For Dummies"








Oh, that FEEL GOOD Press Release sent out last week from the Salisbury Police Department wanting ALL of YOU to feel good that your man is afraid to go out and find his way to the Thrifty Motel for a quickie clearly told me today, (Sunday) that those arrests didn't seem to scare off the female population looking for a quick buck or two.

It goes back to the old Dr. Phil saying, "How's It Working For You" Chief? I truly loved the God Message they like to pass off to everyone each day from that Motel, as if anyone believes the bullsh!t coming from that place. Nevertheless, without going up to the windows and taking some peep shots, I chose to stay across the street and watch these people doing what they could to pick up anyone they possibly could. Funny thing is, why isn't the local Law Enforcement doing this?

I spoke to one of my friends about this who travels that area several times a day and he said, yep, I saw them today. They're out in full force, aren't they? So WE can see it! We can also see the Gangs and We can see the graffiti and prostitution and even the rampant drug sales all over the City. How is it everyone is so blind Chief?

Let me close with this. Does anyone reading this Blog believe for a single second that the SPD isn't loaded with PROFESSIONAL Police Officers trained to have an eye for such wrong doings? I say that with all due respect towards the Officers because I happen to know that they have been asked to concentrate on other issues instead and the Officers are EXTREMELY frustrated.

Remember, where there is prostitution, there is drugs. If "I" can see this so openly, if Officers are asked to concentrate on other issues, would you agree your City is falling apart right in front of your very eyes and it's time for a change in leadership? Or do you simply believe no Police Officers were working on Sunday?

How completely embarassing. Not so much the illegal activity, but the fact that our authorities apparently believe these things aren't happening in sby.
Or are they lying about it? Either way, it's disturbing.

Is that a pregnant woman in the striped shirt in the last picture smoking a cigarette?

Are these women the local whores?

C'mon guys you are paying for this with women who are dressed like that?

Back home in Hollywood at least they would dress up and try to entice you...

Are these the $5 crack whores or what?

No lie: This past Friday I was stopped at the light at Ponzetti's on 13, when one of those women from the last picture strolled across the intersection with- get this- a "For Sale" sign around her neck. She was giggling, and pointing at the cars, including pointing directly at me and making a "kiss-kiss" face. I was dumbfounded.

Do any of these women have health cards? Looks like they are not shooters, they're wearing short sleeves. They must be smoking their drug of choice.

I see this activity everyday. I am not a police officer, but I do recognize what is going on. These women are not well educated and don't attempt to hide it. Where there are prostitutes, there are drugs. Where there are drugs , there are thefts. Get the picture Chief. Mike Lewis comprehends this. This area of the city is the worst by far. Its not because of mysterious crime, but the obvious in your face crimes. Things that you can recognize and do something about. If you can't handle these crimes, then why are you even doing Police work. Come on. The citizens expect better.

These women are there everyday and night. The Thrift Inn, Chesapeake Inn and the brick two story building behind the Thrift are their havens. There are plenty of customers and nobody bothers them. If the police can't see whats going on, then they should all get eye exams.
You can only imagine what diseases are being spread. The crime and poverty in this area are out of control. I have to laugh whaen I see the Mayor doing a photo op in this area while picking up trash or dedicating a park. Give me a break lady. Spend some time cleaning up this street trash. Get on your Police Chiefs behind and tell him to clean up this mess for you.

joe albero said...

Don't forget one MAJOR important issue here Folks. The Mayor drives past this area each and every day to get to work and then home. She could go other routes, (assuring she doesn't see the obvious) but she must drive with blinders on.

The Mayor ran on the platform of improving the neighborhoods and quality of life. Well Mayor, what do you have to say about this ? Don't tell me you don't know about it. Just more campaign promisses.

Wymzie said...

Ok, while they are certainly skanky, and are the absolutely sorriest looking prostitutes I have ever seen.

Just what do you think happens to them if they get busted?
First time: slap on the wrist
Second time: same thing
Third time: maybe 30 days
Fourth time: 30 days
and so on and so on...
They will never spend more than 30 days in jail for a non-violent crime, ever.
You are talking about the oldest industry on the planet, and the laws have never been harsh on it.
Unless you are the Beltway Madame and plan to name names, then the government kills you and makes it look like a suicide.
As long as we have men on planet earth there will be prositutes.
They are providing a service that someone is paying for or they wouldn't be out there. Unfortunately men are very primal and go for it, if they didn't those girls would be doing something else.
The one positive thing in this situation and I'm sure you will give me grief about it is...at least they aren't on welfare (I'm going to duck my head now)!

Joe, don't forget that Bubba also drives right past this every day. Maybe he stops in for milk and bread on his way home?

Joe, whoever took these pics should post daily. That is a great way to put a scare in some of these worthless pieces of trash. Its a proven fact that posting pics and making it well known in the area will deter prostitusion. This should be posted daily joe. Great job. Probably the best post you have put up in the 7 months i jump on and read your blog.

Hell, just follow Nevadas lead and legalize it. Register the whores and require health cards. Make stiff penalties for those operating outside the law instead of sending them off for a medical checkup and a few meals.

Wymzie, how do you know they are not on welfare? They could be supplementing their income by whoring.

Anonymous said...

I'll bet wymzie $5 that a lot of crack & meth prostutes do get welfare and food stamp/cards. I've seen the same girls that hang out on the streets plying their "trade" also working a scam at grocery stores. Lets say they have a $300 food stamp debit card; they will ask people if they want $300 worth of groceries for $150. They even offer to let the person walk around the store with them and pick what they like. They use the card at check out, then go to the parking lot and exchange the groceries for the amount agreed upon. I'm feel reasonably sure that anyone who enters into this kind of transaction with these welfare frauds is equally, legally guilty of fraud! I've also, several times, observed local street prostitutes being arrested in parking lots of grocery stores. They pick the most expensive cuts of steak, hide as much as they can in a handbag or under their clothing. They are not doing this to feed their starving kids! If they manage to get out of the store undetected, they make up some bull s*** story and try to sell the steaks in the parking lot for a fraction of the original price. If you observe someone hiding items in a store, don't confront them! Simply tell the store management; he or she will call the police.
If someone trys to sell you groceries in the parking lot, you can bet they are stolen; get their tag number and call the police!

Recently the police in my town have conducted prostitution stings using police women from other cities. They probably did this for a couple of months. Each week the local paper would list the names and fine amounts of the "Johns."
The fines averaged about $1,200. I was shocked at some of the names. Some were married men aged 35 to 70
Some I had known for years and are pretty well off financially. The women on our streets are mostly young but skanky looking, as their lifestyle probably won't allow them to look otherwise.
I just shake my head and wonder when I read the names. $1,200 for a chance to catch AIDS or some other STD? How did they explain to their wives? How humilated are those wives. I would advise those men to call the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart and ask for his advice and prayers.

As a result of the stings, the "working girls" are still there, but the number of newer, luxury vehicles stopping to pick them up has dropped to almost none.
I assume the girls now have to rely on local druggies to buy sex. Of course that means a dramatic drop in purchase price for skanky sex when compared to their married, well to do customers, but that's tricks...I mean business!

Joe the sad part about the entire prostitution thing is that the poor officer arrests the girls charges her with the stuff that he needs to charge her with and before he can complete all the necessary paperwork at the station the girl is walking south bound on 13 back where she was arrested. Commissioners usually always release on own recognassance and if they do remain in jail the 30 days until trial, they almost ALWAYS get time served. 30 days in jail back to looking healthy and clean and then they are back out again doing the same thing over and over. Several in those pictures have been arrested and prosecuted more than once or twice for prostitution, but that doesn't do anything to stop em.

Anonymous said...

we can't even get the council to give us more officers or money to make us comparable to other agencies to keep us either able or motivated to deal with those problems. According to the people in charge there is no problem, no problem to them does that mean it should mean no problem to us?

Chimera said...

I hope someone can answer this question for me:
When someone is arrested and booked for prostitution or solicitation of prostitution, are they required to be tested for STD's ?
I agree that targeting the "johns" and exposing them on camera(in other words,blogging them) might shame them into not buying hookers.
And they are pretty blatant about what they are doing too.Who owns this business and are they renting by the hour?

Anonymous said...

Can any police agency bust this up? If so why haven't they? Where is the sheriff's and the MSP? Oh never mind...they are giving people tickets for not wearing their seat belt...my bad!

Luckyduck said...

Its not so much that there arent any officers driving by... But whats the point in picking them up? The judicial system is so messed up that these girls get a slap on the wrist and sent on their way right back to their corner.... Same happens for dealers, people who are on probation and get new charges, its all a mess... Joe maybe you should try to sit in on a few court cases just to hear how messed up the system has really become...

Your a jackass. To write that, it goes to show that you have no idea what the hell your talking about. First of all, MSP doesnt handle calls in salisbury. They are the traffic guys in this county.

Secondly, the police are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. I have several friends in SPD who are jus frustrated by arresting these scums and within 24 hours, there back on the street.

The commissioners dont give a damn, hell, there are some commissioners (EASTON and OCEAN CITY) that have criminal backrounds. These commissioners dont have any type of legal backround as you may think. THey have a high school education and dont need anything more to get hired.

Finally, lets face it...its the oldest profession and its gonna happen everywhere. Dont believe it, go to any big city and drive around...you will see it. I see it daily in OC. Drive down 15th street and watch the russian girls come out and try to stop you. Drive to 28th street and the beach and see how many times you get approached by a whore trying to sell her a$$. Get on craigslist and see how many are in your town. Its all over....the solution isnt on the police, its on the courts. Start giving out harsher sentences, longer jail times, and long term problems for these johns that hire these girls.

1. If a guy gets caught and he is married, the wife should be called and informed.
2. If a guy gets caught for the 2nd time, give him a huge fine...im talking like 2500.00.
3. If a guy get scaught for a 3rd time, penis removal. I bet that would stop alot of that crap.
4. If a girl gets caught selling her a$$ the 2nd time, give her mandatory 180 days in jail, 3rd time give her 2 years.
I know alot of you are gonna say that is unfair and cruel, well it would do 2 things. It will give them time to clean out their systems of the drugs, which is the reason they do it, and it prevents them from being on the street for that amount of time.

Just my opinion

anon 3:24 please tell me your not that foolish? Police do tell the girls time and time and time and time and time and time and time again that they shouldn't be doing this. Even when they tell them to stop doing it and try to verbally counsel them on the error of their ways after they have been beaten, abused or money taken from them..within 24 hours they are back out there again. The men get arrested just the same, but the first prostitution charge on a married man usually curbs his behavior, especially when the wifey finds out about the pending charge or has to bail them out of jail...lose the hippy menatlity

Anonymous said...

joe i beg you find out when the court cases on the arrested prostitutes are, and listen to their criminal history prior to sentencing and then still watch them get time served or probation for their 4th/5th/6th prostitution arrest. Police do the job the courts are the lack of solution. You will be like holy crap alot of man hours for zero outcome. Same thing is true for crack heads. If it's not big weight it's time served or probation before judgement. hell they can even get into drug court to keep from getting jail time.

Yes, the pregnant one in the last pic was indeed smoking. I know this because as I sat at the stoplight in front of Outten Brothers this afternoon, she approached my car and tried to talk to me. Yes, she's pregnant, and yes, she was smoking. I ignored her-- I tried to get a picture, but in the time it took my worthless camera phone to be ready, the light had changed, and she had moved on to the gentleman in the car behind me.

After viewing all the comments that were placed yesterday. I see that no one has stated that the City of Salisbury has know about this problem for a period of time now. And Chief No Hair has been watching this area for over a year now with the help of wireless camera's place on telephone poles in the area. In stead of looking at the whores while driving by, pull your car off the road. And look around the area of the hotel and Mayflower storage building. You will see the camera's looking at you. They just don't want the locals to know what has been going on now for several years. As I have been told they can zoom in on the sex act and watch them in action. Most of the act's are oral sex which is quick and drop your drawers and bend over and touch your toes. Alot of bareback sex out there, and some use rain slickers were they have wife's. So the SBY POLICE must have a fetish of watching others having sex, and not getting them off the streets.
