This is very horrible.
I am sad to read what you have been through, but sadly it is the reality. There is a BIG difference between what media claims the police and social services do to help girls vs what they Actually do... which is total humiliation, abusing their position of power and never actually offering to do any real help: except for "buying" girls a plane ticket home-which is a fancy way of deporting them from Sweden.
Selling sex is legal in Sweden. So if you have not comitted a crime, then you can refuse to give them your phone (s) or your phone number. Even if they take your devices, you can refuse to unlock and open them up. (Sometimes police try an ugly trick of holding the phone up to your face to try and "face unlock" the phone. So always have password.
If they ask you for your devices and you give it to them, then you did it willingly in their eyes. But they can not order you to give them your devices, if you understand what I mean. Specially not if you havent comitted a crime. Actually they are not allowed to enter your apartment unless a crime has been comitted and they have a warrant. However if they ask you at the door "hey this is the police, can we come inside?"...
-if you say yes ok, then you actually willingly allowed them to enter. But you can also say no or ask them for the reason why, if they suspect a crime has happened. Anyways perhaps you dont want to have a conversation with them in the hallway, so yes I get it.
The only info that you must give is to identify yourself with passport and ID. Nothing else. Not give your phone number, work phone or private phone... that is optional. But again, if you dont know your rights and you give them this, then you have given it willingly- not forcefully.
If they want to ask you any questions, you can say 1. Am I the subject of a crime comitted? 2 If yes, I will answer your questions if you provide me a lawyer.
Note that. You always have the right for a lawyer to be present when answering police questions and the lawyer is free. They must pay for it to interrogate you. Also 2, they will most likely not give you a lawyer because you are not suspected of comitting a crime. So conclusion: they will give up their interrogation and leave you alone.
The police nr.1 tactic is always to trick you into giving them free information, without being legally forced to do so. This is why they ask you questions quickly without giving you time to reflect on the situation and ask them about their questions. They literally ambush you and surprise you, so that you cannot prepare and are both shocked and scared.
In this case you were not legally forced to give them your phone or to unlock it. However they asked politely and you complied willingly. So the door was opened freely to them to continue. Now they have saved all the info on your phones and will be going after each and every one of your clients with this proof. All of them. Name by name, through the chat and phone call history.
This is bad for credibility and client privacy, from an escort provider perspective... thus you are not "safe" to meet.
I know this sounds like I am bashing on you, but that is not my intention. I al aware that you did not know your rights, you were scared and they ambushed you out of nowhere with questions from a surprise visit. My point in writing all this is only to teach other girls who read this post, so that they can know their rights and do the right thing.
I hope this was helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions. And now that you know this, dont be too discouraged of coming back in the future if you actually had a good time in the country and met pleasant people. Police are dicks everywhere.
*Of course they can even also go after me for saying all of these things, so here is my official disclaimer once again. I know nothing about anything, all I write is lies and bullshit and literotica and nothing is real. Any advice is not real professional advice and should not be followed. Always follow the law and rules etc etc etc blah blah blah.
Happy smiley face :/
