This forum was created to support a commercial venture but they allow us to discuss wider issues ........ thank you, but I can't see that continuing if the Law is changed as we'd then be talking about an illegal activity and it would be perfectly understandable if we were no longer welcome.
When I last looked there were five AW profiles in Norway and none in Sweden.
You'd have to ask people who live in those countries, but I have read that in practice the police do confiscate phones and computers. Not just from the men but the girls too. Citing collection of "evidence" as the reason. They also prosecute landlords and hotels for facilitating illegal activity. They also lean very heavily on girls who refuse to give evidence against their clients, by way of making them homeless after threatening landlords. I read that in Norway they actually carried out "operation homeless" last year which resulted in a couple of hundred girls being evicted out on to the street.
