Let's say all the AMPs are shut down. Kaneshiro's boy at the prosecutor's office and the HPD high five each other like a couple of frat boys Eiffel Towering some drunk sorority girl for getting rid of prostitution in the City and County of Honolulu. Its fine people, and more importantly, the tourists and part-time locals living in million dollar condos don't have to see the eyesore of massage parlors that they probably didn't see unless they actively sought them out to begin with.

But in reality, of course, they didn't get rid of prostitution. Just the easy, soft targets that wont cause them problems when they kick in the door.

I've never heard of the HPD going on the offensive against the pimps and we all know they're there in Waikiki. And I don't see the HPD or the prosecutor's office going after them because apparently, those pimps don't have any problems packing heat and using it.

So thanks, HPD. I know you're reading this. What I want to know is, what are you getting out of giving the very real parasitic human traffickers that are pimps free rein?

This is all so typical of Hawaii. Someone figures out how to make a buck that isn't about buying up huge tracts of land (big agriculture, tourism or putting up overpriced condos) and the powers that be shut them down, even when the police claim can't handle property crimes.

Did she really say that our city's police force is not on par? Yet, our City has enough officers to send to Mauna Kea to reinforce Hawaii PD. Where the fuck's the logic in that? I wonder if the same person ghost-writing & feeding Ige misinformation is also doing so for Chief Ballard.

I think you're forgetting one of the main techniques LE employs. They can go undercover to collect evidence to be used later to indict and also as evidence to obtain search warrants.

I dunno if they're using the federal funds, but they are looking for the business owners.

I'm glad they didn't trade while I was banging sugar.

I'm going back to pine tree but this time I'm wearing a Groucho Marx glasses disguise. They'll never know who I am when they snap those photos LOL.

I was shocked to read the Police Chief saying that they no longer have available police officers to chase after the robbery suspects, car thefts, etc. They then have the audacity to use our police officers to catch an average citizen doing 35 mph in a 25 mph zone, sending officers for assistance at the TMT, and constantly harassing the Massage parlor folks who are not hurting anyone. What the hell is going on in Honolulu. We really need to get our priorities straight.

Yeah, lazy slacking cops, don't want to do an honest day's work. Maybe home owners should just shoot would be robbers and drag their bodies outside and not even call the cops. Just get rid of the weapon and let the cops figure it out. There is a serious meth problem and a vast majority of stealing to support this habit, so jailing them will not solve the problem. I see allot of cops boot legging at many construction sites, so if HPD chief says not enough manpower, than how about letting contractors do this instead of cops making OT?

Maybe the City Prostitutor considers these places short term vacation rentals.

Maybe, instead of calling them relaxation centers, or day spas, they should call them day vacations.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and relax.

I don't think busting someone on operating a business without a license is going to make anyone happy and it seems that's mainly what they end up getting.
