Maybe they should relocate to Monroe, retain their clientele and maybe gain some new customers.

Its just a game. One of the locations that was busted last year was open in the same location with a new name. My current fave, Sky Spa has been an AMP for as long as I can remember. Like 40 years or more. I'm confident that it will reopen shortly if it hasn't already. The other two were fairly new and half-assed Chinese parlors from the reports I've read.

There's a Chinese parlor just north of the Ohio border in Monroe County for a few years now. Located in a busy strip mall. The other businesses have to be raising hell about it.

The cliffs notes version for any that does not want to do the homework themselves:

4 parlors busted.

4 Mamasans / managers arrested. No providers. No dudes.

At least two (probably 3) made bail and had hearing dates scheduled.

The location of 2 of them was not a good fit. Both in visible strip malls with other legitimate business. Next to a bakery and another on a busy road near lots of retail (and was busted last year).

Like last year, the probable results:

$150 fine and 30 days..

A word of caution if you are going south of the border. The same thing happened last November in that area.

Well never see them in Toledo again.

Providers will probably all be moved to another location out of state.

IDK if it was a coincidence, but I switched my DNS to static 8. 8. 4. 4 and the site loaded.

Yet another example of what not to do. When will pimps learn to never leave a list of prostitution pricing, location, and menu of sexual acts in an unsecure backpack that your estranged wife can find?

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that story.

If you take the time to read the article, it alleges that he was operating between September 2022 and May 2023 when the warrant was served. Article was published in August 2023.

One of the girls on Michigan Eros was complaining that a regular contacted her asking for UAW discount since he was collecting only strike pay now. She declined.

Crazy. I wonder whether the union knows it negotiated discounts to members from SP's. Smh. That guy may have been thinking of a provider or two who used to advertise discounts to first responders following 9/11. I'm over 65, do I get the AARP discount?

One case rarely puts agencies in line; they have to get several rulings pounded into them, especially since different cases have different fact patterns.

Heck, look at how often govt violates 1st amendment even though there are lots of rulings to clarify what the law is.

Yeah, it seems that the argument being made by the challengers is that the government would still be able to seize assets but that there would have to be a fairly quick evidentiary hearing on whether the government could keep it. The challengers' proposed test would have a court balance the interest of the government in preventing property from being used for crime vs. The defendant's interests in the property.
