John (jon) n. Slang: the anonymous male customer of a prostitute (as in ‘John Doe’)
TV (tē’vē’) n. Short for television (as in the medium in which Johns often find themselves when busted with a prostitute)
Since 1996 Oklahoma’s own Video Vigilante®, Brian Bates, has been using his video camera to document the graphic realities of street prostitution, expose the perpetrators and dispel the myths that further the abuse.
JohnTV.com achieves this goal by lifting the veil of anonymity that empowers the ‘Johns.’
You can follow JohnTV on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter and TwitPic.
in 2009 Brian Bates was awarded an Emmy for his efforts.

Hi Brian;
. ok hope to hear from you , Thanks B/Boop
I also wanted to say thanks for getting so much SMUT off the streets, the only thing is I’m affraid its going to get worse because of the economy.
But I have a Very Imp. question ,, I live in Fl. and its sad that we have good police and Bad Police, and it seems to be getting very out of hand on more being Bad Police and I also have my proof , But what do you do when you’ve already talked to a Higher up and he says he don’t believe a word ?
Now they have me being down as a problem person and giving me alot of grief,So what does one do? I’ll tell you whateva you want to know .
But I can tell you this– I’m disabled in a wheelchair for life and I was robbed (for quite alot) and when I had to call the police,, they treated me AWEFULL

You need to come talk to me in Pittsburgh Pa….I have a full list of confirmed encounters and photos….I’m sick and tired of the sleaze and acceptance of such a damaging “profession”
