Here in Richmond, VA in order to post on CL you have to pay a fee. They did this so that it is easier to catch people soliciting prostitution. I honestly can say it has helped filter out the bad apples but they're still some girls that dont know how to post an ad. In Richmond the girls were going around setting people up, and who knows what else. The news made a big thing of it and spotlighted CL. All I can say from personal experience is, you have to know the laws, and the lupolls; and you have to make sure you always cover your ass. Cuz a little disclaimer at the end of the ad doesnt mean much of anything.
