I'm sure there have been discussions of personal experience with such busts but I can't find them with a quick search. From the FAQ:
https://forum.141-161.com/viewthread.php?tid=19916&extra=page%3D1How safe is mongering in Hong Kong?
Basically, VERY SAFE, either from get mugged by robber or caught by police.
1) As long as the gal has HKID. (most 141 walk up gals)
2) When the gal is on tourist visa (hotel gals/ brothels/ phone appoinment); if caught, the gal get into trouble,
the punter is required give statement to the authority(s) and free to go.
3) Avoid entering room/apartment that house more than 1 gal.
I don't have personal experience, but from reports and from my understanding (happy to be corrected):
As I said above, the Chinese without HKID are also illegal. Personally, I don't have much concern. As I said, I saw a nice Thai girl and JSL a week or so before the raid. 141 (1 woman one client) sex work is legal (hence the advice to avoid doubles).
It's not your job to check the immigration status. Obviously, it would be rather scary (and annoying if you haven't finished) to have the door broken down, but these raids don't happen that often, so the chance is very small. And you're not doing anything illegal - the non-HKID girl is. I do make sure I have ID with me as otherwise the police could get annoying.
As pointed out earlier in the thread, approaching a street girl and asking for a price is prosecutable, though.
Here's some discussion about the big KH raid in Jan 2018, with some advice:
