View Full Version : Question Street workers
It Hurts When IP

I read somewhere not so long ago (20 years ago approx) you could pick up street workers along Brunswick Street, & certain areas of Fortitude Valley. I think there main clientele were taxi drivers and drunk guys walking home from a night out.
Does this type of thing still happen in Brisbane, or anywhere in Australia?
Was in the US pre-covid an saw multiple women who I believed were street workers. Mostly looked cracked out though.
Anyone know if this kind of thing is still around, or any stories of it happening here in the ‘good old days’?

Used to happen a lot on Brunswick St, towards New Farm. Tried to pick up a girl there once. Turned out to be an undercover cop. Just got a fine.

Back in the day the first question you would ask is are you a cop? When she siddled up to the window that was the opening exchange.They had to identify themselves. Harcourt St corner is where they would stand and walk up and down that strip, amazing how lots of guyys frequented the laundromat but had no washing?They used to use the 7 eleven for a rest stop.
Stories, do you want to hear about the streetwalkers along the GC Highway too and they would walk on the road.
Ah the good ol'days.

PS AFAIK due to the laws and security SW went out a long time ago in Bris, even in Kings Cross.
Is nothing sacred?
Kangaroo Point near the Pineapple Hotel was a streetwalker haunt. Have heard there may be the odd one who floats around in that area but not certain.
I remember the laundromat in the Valley. A mate worked at the Nightowl or whatever it was back then- said he experienced many an interesting late night shift. A mate lived at New Farm just near the main strip there and if bored/drunk enough we would go up there and play pick the copper 😎

Yes more stories please! What was the quality like? Or were they mostly just drugged out looking for next hit kind??
Any idea what there rates were approx?
Have heard about the laundromat on Brunswick street lol.
Interesting that the cops would have to identify themselves if asked, wonder if this is still the case if working undercover 🤔

Have seen some dodgy people floating around that area from time to time.
Wonder if any male cops ever got caught by the undercovers trying to proposition them lol.
Whoever outlawed this must have the saddest life.

lol - first the questions - Quality - varied considerably, made even more difficult due to darkness. You used to drive slowly and look at girl and then park in side street where she would approach. Most were horrid, druggies. They would know a place or you would drive to New Farm Park. It was all in car stuff usully jumped in the backseat for more room. Rates - honestly can't remember. Cops identifying themselves - back then it was the law, now ?
Stories.. countless.

I guess by the end of a long night they would be well worn in, I can’t imagine them cleaning much in between clients 🤢

Back around 8yrs ago now, Main Street kangaroo point was pumping with hookers the southern cross motel & we’re the subway is all the way to bell st. But it would only be a hand full of crack heads doing it,sometimes the odd stripper would turn up after work but besides that just crackheads. The public housing on top of the hill is we’re they would be living let straight out of the big house & straight on the corner. Some of the girls had been doing it for over 20yrs that’s crazy to think they lasted that long. The cops cleaned it up before Covid & haven’t heard of any places we’re there gone too. Have heard there was pimps in Moorooka pimping the African girls out. Not sure if that one’s true. Would love to know we’re they are now it was always a laugh driving passed & u would see the undercover cop car sitting waiting

That was the motel I was thinking of in KP. I believe they have/are gutting the whole thing to revamp it and remove some of the old perceptions that it was a crack whore house.
I think that there is still the odd meth-head who will appear there. Have also heard (and may have seen but not certain) that some of the Asian ladies will make an appearance on the street still when business is slow to cast the net further than just Locanto.
Moorooka I believe that business was conducted in the street behind that main stretch of shops that leads to Wiolies.

Yeah they cleaned it up before the com games they drove them out of town. What I liked about the old days the ads were real & the girls were in there 20s on study visas. Today it’s there’s old Chinese women in there 50s to 60s trying to have a crack but have fucked it. That’s why if u want the young ones u need to find a massage shop money talks with these girls who make around $2k a day on a normal day.

Yeah it’s sickening as they should be paying us. Dont get me wrong there is still some nice ones out there but every hard to find. Iv walked out on a lot & they would pretty much drop there prices & do ANYTHING for that $50 I was so turned off by then & walked out even some try to stop me by jumping in front of the door 😆 it’s sad but it’s the world we live in. In LA I seen on prime tv the street at night are full of African American & dammm should see the bootys 😆 smoking sexy need some of them here

That, or they yell and scream at you for wasting their time which is quite ironic considering their time would not have been wasted if they/their pimps were honest.
Sydney scene is dead for streetwalkers too. Odd one still lurks around Surry Hills but most of the older Asians seem to have gravitated to the hotel lobbies. Ran in to one who was ok that I talked down to $80 for anal a few weeks ago.

Along Brunswick st on corners of Arthur, Kent, Harcourt lol damn anyone that knows this must getting on a bit of age. From memory, the quality was bad, plus size, ugly, and junkies (you had to pick 2 or more of the traits). With the internet, my view is that Cracker replace the streets, and now locanto replaced Cracker.

Majority of them were as you described. I remember the horror of me and others when a mate of ours insisted in dragging us to meet the one toothed whore he picked up the week before as she gave the best feeling bj. Needless to say he went again while rest of us politely declined. She was clearly ravaged by the drugs which was a shame as without them she would have scrubbed up well.
The best bet for something not out of Tales from the Crypt was early morning Saturday or Sunday when as others have indicated, a stripper who had a bad night or random who had too good a night and blew all their money or lost their handbag and needed a cab fare might appear but this was very very rare- for me twice in like 5 years.

The law back in the 80's was police officers were required by law to identify themselves. If you ask them they were required to give their name, rank and what station they were from, usually the Valley next to the valley pool. If a non uniformed officer was asked he had to identify himself and produce an identity card. Soliciting or entrapment by LE was a very grey area and if you care to read case histories most were thrown out by judges. LE back in those days were more concerned (or not) with organised crime which involved drugs, illegal gambling, illegal cigs,extortion etc rather than some tart selling her body on the corner of Brunswick St. Why do you think Warren Armstrong sold Players tinnies out of an esky while upstairs guys were doing the deed for so long.
Some guys on here know shit.

As i said pseudo-intellectual. It was never the case, repeating yourself doesn't prove anything. Police are only require to identify themselves when they are attempting to use their police powers, not at the whim of some dimwit like yourself.
It's hilarious when someone puts forward a link thinking it supports their claim, but their lack of understanding makes it the converse.

So when their trying to arrest someone for solicitng they are not using their police powers?

Correct, up until the point they actually reveal themselves as police and attempt an actual arrest they are not utelising police powers. Use your brain for once in your life how could they be using police powers if they are undercover and pretending to not be police? Not sure whose point you were trying to prove, but thanks for proving mine for me.

Ahhh sir, the self importance of solicitors. The law is the culmination of ideas! The ideas of people, however these days, the self importance of solicitors believe they are the gatekeepers to these ideas. A member of parliament or a representative of the people doesn't have to be a solicitor! A solicitor only has to transcribe these ideas into a document. The police who are required to be undercover need to be able to operate without answering that question truthfully. That sir, is an idea! The solicitor is just the person who writes that idea down. Is the person correct sir? That is all that matters, not his professional qualifications.

Apart from my good fellows on here, I'm taking the following to the grave: The one and only time I've approached a street walker in Australia (blonde undercover police woman) was in 1998 (I was barely legal). The place (the valley), time and date (including court details two weeks later) are seared into my brain. The undercover cop told me to walk down the side street on my own and she would follow. Within 20m, an unmarked cop car pulled up and demanded me to stop. I shit my pants like you wouldn't believe. That's my only brush with the law. To say I shit myself is an understatement. I had finished my studies, had a crappy job and living with my parents. I was tempted because a dickhead (Matt - I couldn't stand him) I worked with mentioned he always see street walkers hanging around there. The police were sympathetic, I was 100% cooperative. I was almost bashed walking back to my car after leaving the police station (10:30pm). The wait till the court date was traumatic (almost stopped eating completely, I thought about this 24/7 leading up), as was the day. About 5 other blokes got caught. We all stood up together, we all pleaded guilty, and were fined $350 each without conviction (the court was like a production line - low level stuff, eg weed) . It literally took 90 seconds. They walked out in a group talking between themselves, I slunk out behind them in shame. I remember one old bloke saying, "I didn't even know it was illegal". Everyday after getting caught until well after the court date, I bought the paper early in the morning to see if I was mentioned. I can't describe the dread. There was write up about the sting, no individual names mentioned, but it was referred to as "Operation Ambush".
A few years after this (and many times since), I had to get police background check for a new job. This haunted me every time I changed workplaces. A little over ten years after the incident, I had to get a government security clearances for a new job. I never mentioned the incident (though I did shit myself) and it has never been a barrier. I've since carved out a niche and work for myself - it's highly unlikely I'll ever need another check (and I know it won't be an issue if I do). For a long time, it was my #1 life regret - I'm well and truly over it now. I actually wouldn't care now if people knew. At the time, I was worried about family finding out, the shame, and the impact it would have on my career. I've got a very high tolerance to stress, but fuck I felt the pressure during that period. In hindsight, it was irrational and an overreaction, but it didn't seem like it at the time. As mentioned, I was young, this was a one-off and I never contemplated the possibility of getting arrested growing up.
And that's my never before told story about street walkers in the valley in the 90s.
UNBELIEVABLE !!!
tell you what !!??!! i was one of the other 5. everything you said, i felt. i couldn't even eat properly all the way to the court date. at that time, i live in units, and every little sound at the door, i thought the cops were back to ask me more questions. it was a bloody nightmare. also, for the other people who were arguing and reading this, at that time, i asked the girl if she was an undercover cop. and she said no. and when the cop was writing me the court summons, i told them that i had asked the girl and that she had said she isn't a cop. the copper had the nerve to ask me, do you have a recording of the question that you asked the girl ?
on the day of the court appearance, i told the lawyer appointed to me, that it was entrapment. he told me it was difficult to prove, and if i used that as an excuse, and if i was found guilty anyway, they would record that incident as a conviction against me. the lawyer asked me if i still wanted to go ahead with the entrapment defence but strongly advised against it. my fine was $ 350

There's another aspect none brought up as part of undercover operations, they are given a warrant or a commission to perform the duties undercover and can withhold their employment status as a police officer if asked "are you a cop?" in the act of their duties.

Dude, you've seriously lost the plot now. That made absolutely no sense what so ever. An undercover officer would reveal their identity as a police officer any time they attempted to utelise their police powers. And conversely as RLP stated they would not be taken seriously trying to use their police powers unless they revealed their identity.
Case in point, if a homeless guy issues you with a police order you would ignore him. But if the same homeless guy pulled out a badge and identified himself as a cop you would act accordingly.

A bit of light reading .......
In Queensland a policeman can pose as a client, try to entrap sex workers, and have immunity against prosecution to conduct illegal activities because they are covered by the legislation in the PROSTITUTION ACT 1999 - SECT 75
(1) A police officer does not commit an offence against section 73 (1) if the soliciting is done under an authority given under the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000.
(2) However, a person other than a police officer commits an offence against section 73 (1) if the person publicly solicits the police officer.
BUT..............if you read the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act
"The police officer must, as soon as reasonably practicable,
inform the person the subject of the power of the following—
(a) if the police officer is not in uniform—
(i) that he or she is a police officer; and
(ii) his or her name, rank and station;
(b) if the police officer is in uniform—his or her name, rank
and station.
(3) If the police officer is not in uniform, the police officer must
also produce for inspection his or her identity card."
"up until the point they actually reveal themselves as police and attempt an actual arrest they are not utelising police powers" Wrong - The Act gives them the power to perform these operations without fear of prosecution. There is no point of reveal - they are always acting with police powers.
and "how could they be using police powers if they are undercover and pretending to not be police?" Wrong - see above
"Police are only require to identify themselves when they are attempting to use their police powers, not at the whim of some dimwit like yourself." Wrong- see legislation
"The forum pseudointellectual is at it again. This is an old myth and has long been confirmed as false." Wrong - see legislation.
It started off me just telling a story about old days - just reminiscing - and then the abuse started.

4Fow2, you need to read the actual legislation rather than just try and cherry pick parts of it that you believe suit your view.
You quoted S.637 of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act, which is found in Chapter 20 of that act. If you took the time to read it you would see the following;
"CHAPTER 20 - OTHER STANDARD SAFEGUARDS
PART 1 - PRELIMINARY
620 Chapter does not apply to covert operations"
No amount of you repeating yourself, or claiming others are just being abusive towards you, or your thinly veiled attempts at acting aloof to overcompensate for your own shortcomings will hide the fact that you are simply ignorant about this matter.

Street walkers at Kangaroo Point are a rare event now. I did see a few during Jan-Feb 2022.
I have seen African women in Moorooka that seemed to be street walkers.. circa 2017. I didn't stop to ask, was too scared.
Police STILL do 'dress-up' as street walkers, and entrap Johns around Kangaroo Point.. and charge them with publicly soliciting.
When I see them, I try and pull up and make comments about their choice of attire. "That dress is WAY too tight for you honey!" WHY? because you can.
Once I followed these dress-up cops, and found they have a house, Bromley Street from memory, where they do wardrobe (and possibly coordinate their efforts).
Lesson learnt: if you see a street walker in Kangaroo Point, who does NOT look like a meth addict, it's >90% chance they are cops.

With all the shops around why would you bother with SW?
Oldies will rmember the Miami strip whereby SW would walk up and down the GC Highway plying their trade.
Those days are long gone.

I would think vendors would change with times and find it more efficient to zip up and down Main Street on one of those stoopid-ass scooters...

Cops have never and never will have yo identify themselves while working undercover in that sort of role.

You can tell alot about a person's level of education by the way they write, the words and phrases they use and the way they construct sentences.

Who doesn't like an Oxford comma, and correct punctuation?

Regardless, what he says is true. The only time they need to identify themselves is when they arrest you. And I'm not a solicitor, or a cop. Just someone with a bit of common sense.

The task of the covert operator was to elicit any language related to the transaction of sex. It was then that they'd swoop on you. I think the purpose of that operation was to identify that ambulance worker that was eviscerating all those street walkers.

With the amount of flipping illegal brothels acting as massage places we can surely tell QPS don’t give a fuck anymore

Exactly...........
I remember one guy got done in one of the stings while waiting outside a shop in the Valley while his wife was inside the shop. Undercover cop walked past and he asked her how much and got dragged off. Would have been an interesting scene for the wife when she came out of the shop 😂

You can also tell how much they actually care about correcting dumb people. I don't particularly care what you think you know about me, my years of studying law, plt and admission to the supreme court of Queensland along with my years of experience will trump your bush lawyering skills any day of the week and Criminal law isn't even my primary field of practice.

If you particularly don't care, why are you responding?
I think this post from you speaks volumes to the type of individual you are. Quote " I have long term games i play as well where if i really don't like a bloke (and i mean i really don't like him, so he has personally screwed with me somehow) I will become friends with his missus and will basically do everything i can to sabotage his relationship and when it happens that it breaks down i will hook her up with one of my mates."
Stop masquerading, you're not fooling anyone but yourself.
