Getting Searched For a Wire By a Stripper πŸ’€

Shawn Ryan Show

An undercover law enforcement officer recounts a tense and humorous incident during a biker gang infiltration where a stripper searched him for a wire while riding on the back of his motorcycle. Despite having a transmitter on him, the officer narrowly avoided detection due to a hole in his pants providing a distraction. The story highlights the primitive surveillance technology of the era compared to modern equipment.

Summary

The speaker, an undercover officer who describes himself as a solid 'eight' in the biker world, shares a story from his time infiltrating a motorcycle club known as the Reapers. He begins by explaining the outdated recording equipment used at the time β€” Niagara recorders from the 1970s resembling bulky tape decks that had to be worn in the crotch area, with microphones running up the sides. He contrasts this with the significantly smaller modern surveillance devices.

During the operation, one of the club's presidents directed a stripper to take the officer for a motorcycle ride β€” a tactic used to search him for a wire. Though the officer did not have the bulky recorder on him at that moment, he did have a one-watt transmitter on his right side and, critically, a large hole in his pants. The stripper conducted a physical search of his legs, back, and waist but found nothing.

The situation escalated when she discovered the hole in his pants and began inappropriately touching him through it while he was still driving the motorcycle. His cover team observed the incident remotely. To defuse the situation and prevent further searching near his transmitter, the officer humorously warned her that her actions were going to cause him to 'hit a note' and potentially crash the bike. She laughed it off, and they returned to the clubhouse without the transmitter being discovered. The transcript ends just as the officer is about to reveal what the stripper reported back to the club president.

Key Insights

  • The officer describes the Niagara recorder used in undercover operations as a 1970s-era tape deck worn in the crotch area, comparing it unfavorably to the much smaller modern surveillance devices available today.
  • The officer notes that being an attractive figure within biker culture β€” rating himself an 'eight' in that world β€” created social complications with strippers who were interested in him, which he deflected by referencing his relationship.
  • The Reapers used strippers to conduct physical searches of suspected informants or undercover officers by having them ride on the back of motorcycles and pat down the rider under the guise of a social interaction.
  • The officer had a one-watt transmitter on his right side during the search, which was not discovered β€” partly because the stripper was distracted by a hole in his pants on the other side.
  • To stop the stripper from searching further and potentially finding the transmitter, the officer used a humorous sexual warning about losing control and crashing the bike, successfully redirecting her attention.

[0:00] Why did you bring your wife in? >> I'm not an exceptionally handsome lad, but kind of in the biker world, I could be a solid eight. And so there was a lot of strippers that were like, "Oh, this doesn't look good to you." I'm like, "My mom always told me, never date a stripper. No offense." And I go, "I got this girl, man." And they're like, "Whatever, dude." Our recording devices were like from the stone age. So we had these Niagara recorders that were like a 1970s realtore tape deck.
