Yes, I am sure cops are looking at CFS. It is a public space.

Historically, the real problem has been with vice policemen who try to entrap individuals into doing something illegal that they would not have done otherwise. I guess we have to be careful not to post our fantasy of being a rent boy -- some cop might try to "buy" our services.

A bigger problem is police who invade private spaces. The FBI currently has their "Carnivore" system attached to many ISP network servers to monitor EVERY packet of information, including private emails, even from people who are not a target of their investigation. The legality of this has never been fully tested all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Of course, by the time President Bush stuffs the court with right wing cronies, we will have lost many of our freedom.
