(An interesting piece of Information that maybe be
helpful to
some so a girl thought this one would share it)
p.s. It is also good to remember that in some states spousal
abuse does not require the abused party to file the complaint.
The officer only needs to see marks. He is then REQUIRED
to make an arrest. Play safe.
The cop who wrote the following email has given permission
for this to be freely distributed if you leave it intact. He seems
to feel that this is generalizable outside of his local area though
I'm sure he's much more familiar with his local PD.
I felt it was worth passing along
One and all
It seems *everyone* I know has a story about an
"abduction/kidnap or play rape" scene that was interrupted
by the local constabulary. Either a whole lot of this play is
going on, or the boys and girls in blue are doing one hell of a
job. It's nice to think both could be true.
I saw this as a great subject, because in these situations the
BDSM'ers and the coppers are both at the top of their form.
The BDSM'ers engaged in some very technically difficult
and challenging play, the coppers being the heroes and quick
wits we pay 'em to be.
I have seen some VERY BAD info on the subject posted
elsewhere by an "expert" and tried to correct the
misinformation. The "expert" (LAPD) told a group of
BDSM'ers (who spread the word) that even if the "victim"
of the abduction scene was totally willing, the play kidnapping
was a crime.
(DEAD WRONG!)
So, let us review the likely crimes that would be involved were
such a scene real. Assault, Battery, False
Arrest/Imprisonment, Kidnapping, Sexual Battery, Rape.
There are plenty of others, with lesser and greater
subdivisions of the above, but I think you get the idea.
All these crimes require as a basic element that the act(s) be
against the will of the victim. Any cop you run into will know
this, and the old line, "No victim, no crime." And this type
of play is not a "statutory" crime, or a crime violating the
rights of "society". It's not any kind of crime.
**B U T**
When the officers first show up, what they see is not play. It's
major, violent, felony crime, and that dictates how they react.
So then, how to survive Abduction Interruptis:
(Note) I will not detail methods of avoiding detection, as this
may be used for truly criminal purposes, and I will not be a
party to such. I'm sure you'll understand.
Pre-Abduction Planning
Know your victim and have rock solid consent. This is the
*one* thing that makes all this legal play, and not a felony
violation. If you both/all want this to be a 'surprise', then get
rock solid *blanket* consent, PRIOR TO the scene.
This may seem, um... er... unromantic, but get consent IN
WRITING. Hand written by the "victim" is best, but typed
will do. Detail what the play scene will involve, "Abduction,
Kidnapping, Bondage, Play 'Rape', Etc." A specific date
is best, but if the scene is open ended, then say so. Both/all
parties to the scene should sign the note. Then photo copy
the note over the ID/DL cards of both/all parties. This letter
of consent should be carried by the "Abductor(s)" at all times
during the scene.
The above will provide the officers with indicea, "proof"
indicating that this is not a spur of the moment thing, and the
play parties have given this some careful planning and
thought. It will help the "suspect(s)" immeasurably.
What may help the "victim" would be the inclusion of the
agreed safe-word, and or safe-signal, exactly how it works
(that it's use is agreed by all parties to mean that all play
immediately stops and the "victim" is released).
In the case of a "bad Dom", this shows that all parties were
aware that the "victim" always retained ultimate control of
their free will and consent (with the ability to retract, or assert
them at any time). It also gives a quick education to officers
about BDSM in relation to a sub or bottom who has become
the victim of a REAL crime while in a scene.
Weapons
If you plan to "use" a weapon to threaten your "victim" to
gain control, there are some VERY serious consequences.
Any gun, knife or such you use, depending on the weapon,
place, or way carried could lead to a criminal charge. The
cops WILL NOT need a victim for those charges.
And any fake or simulated gun, knife or such, when seen by
the cops in the spit-second it takes to act, will be treated like a
real gun, knife or such, with potentially deadly consequences.
That $120, oh so cool, Barretta 92f "look alike" fake gun,
MAY make your "victim" squirm thinking it real, but it WILL
make Officer Friendly think it's real too. And (s)he may turn
you into a 40. caliber wind-tunnel before you have a chance to
explain.
Would a knife be better? Not much. All officers are trained
that an attacker armed with a knife can charge at least 21 feet,
from a dead stop, and deliver multiple, deadly stab wounds,
in less time than it takes an officer to draw their weapon and
fire an aimed shot. This has been demonstrated countless
times, and the police trainers never let officers forget it.
Blunt instrument? Better, most any cop will give you a
split-second more lead prior to letting go a round, but people
are killed by blows from blunt weapons every day.
Weapons are just that, NOT toys The best rule of thumb
regarding weapons at play is; In private, fine. In public, they
are likely to land you in jail if not the morgue.
When, (NOT IF), you get "caught"
Remember this about your scene; If it CAN go wrong, it
WILL go wrong. You see, Murphy was a cop, and he knew
from whence he spoke. It will be embarrassing. Try to get
used to the idea now so it'll be less of a shock later.
Again, what the officer sees upon arrival is a hostage situation.
Your survival depends on your ability to stay calm, and do as
you are told.
(A word to the Doms)
You may be used to being Master of your universe, but to
survive the above situation, you ought to learn how to be the
best sub you can, at least for a brief period of time. For those
few critical moments after the boys and girls in blue show up
at your "crime" scene, they rightly, truly, and totally RULE
YOUR WORLD. They must.
Your scene may be interrupted at any point, and in any
number of ways. A routine traffic stop, a tiny clue picked up
on by an observant officer, or acting out the abduction, in
what you soon learned was, the Police Academy parking lot. It
may be as painless as a few low key questions. Or it may be a
full blown, streets barricaded, SWAT team call up, with
helicopters buzzing overhead. I warned you it'd be
embarrassing.
Please remember that if the police response sounds harsh,
imagine you or your loved one as the victim of a REAL
kidnapping, rape or hostage situation.
DO's and DON'Ts
As soon as you are challenged by ANY police officer, deputy
sheriff, highway patrol officer, or peace officer of any type;
DO immediately stop.
DO NOT attempt to run, drive away, or conceal anything.
DO exactly as the officer orders, keeping your hands empty
and visible to the officer at all times.
DO NOT attempt to explain the situation, reach into your
pockets, or move towards the officer.
The DO's will get you to the point when all is known, and
you are on you merry way to play much faster.
The DO NOTs may get you dead.
Once things calm down
Don't worry. Your cops can adjust to changing situations so
fast it may startle you, or seem a bit unnatural. They have to,
for we live in a society that not only expects it's officers to be
able to take a life in a fraction of a second if need be, but to
be even more able to adapt to events as they unfold.
After the they have safety, and physical control of the
situation, they will want to know what is going on. That's
when the 'victim(s)' should calmly and concisely describe the
play scene, and point out the "letter of consent" on the
"suspect(s)".
DO NOT lie, fudge, hedge, or shade the truth. Cops get lied
to all day, every day. They become something akin to human
lie detectors. You would like them to trust what you are
saying at this point, and lying to them ain't the way to do it.
They may be a bit upset at just having had to make a threat to
LIFE (pointing a gun in public endangers everyone in the
area) and to LIBERTY (yours if arrested, theirs had they
shot you while at play) and all this because of your personal,
public PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. A quiet, honest
apology for having been the cause of this would not fall on
ill-understanding, or unkind ears.
Your explanation of BDSM sex role play is far more likely to
amuse than shock. The average rookie sees and does more in
a few short months, than most people experience in a lifetime.
Yes, they may laugh. I would, wouldn't you?! They are human
(thank goodness) So relax, and have a laugh. You may even
make a friend or two. Who knows <wink> you may already
*know* one of them...
Play safe,
Beknighted
