Re: All you need to know about Offences relating to prostitution under the SG LAW
Old bird here going anon. In my FL cheonging history I was caught in an AV raid twice.
The first was many many years ago. I left the room and out of nowhere a dude wrapped his arm around my shoulder, identified himself and led to a very public area of the establishment. There were already a few cheongsters seated there with heads bowed and shoulders slouched. Of course I was bloody scared too altho I did not know then I was not guilty of any crime. It seemed AV was determined to make us feel ashamed to the max with very curt language and minimal communication. One of them demanded (not asked) for my ID which I handed over. Another female officer demanded for my mobile and had a merry time scrolling thru all my messages. I will always remember this senior cheebyekia officer who arrived late and started insulting us e.g. "this time caught so many fuckers", "what the fuck you looking at" etc. After about an hour one of them shouted at me to come over to sign a statement. No informing me of what I was not guilty of, my rights, no nothing. Just "sign this" and curtly told to go after that. Fucking cheebyes the whole of them.
Second time was a while ago. Just fired my first shot when there was knocking at the door. I knew then siao liao and started to get dressed. My fears were confirmed when there was a gasp of shock as the gal opened the door. I was brought into the corridor expecting a repeat telecast of that shit experience years back. Wow, different experience. One AV officer was assigned to me and politely identified himself as from AV. He then told me why they were there and assured me that I was not guilty of anything neither will they inform your family or workplace, just that they need me to show them some stuff before signing a statement. He asked me what stable I booked the gal from and to show him the text messages of which he took photos. At no time did he remove my phone from my hand. I took the opportunity to ask him some questions; he said that they target the OKT and not the gal. The gal also keeps her earnings provided they are not held as evidence. After that sign statement and I was free to go. Whole thing lasted about just 15 mins.
Big differences between the two incidents. In the first incident they do not treat you with respect nor civility even tho you fully cooperate. They also demand for your mobile phone to screen thru. It may have legal then perhaps not now. Now in the second incident I at least felt respected and fully informed why and what was going on, particularly in impact to me. They also request (not demand) you to do stuff.
Second experience was much more positive and I felt assured I was being treated right as a tax-paying citizen. Because of the first incident I voted for oppo for many years. Perhaps I will simply spoil my vote instead from now on.
Bottom line is, if you are caught in an AV raid, just comply with AV's requests and you will likely be released without much fuss.
