[QUOTE=Crowhill]Push it and then look at the inspection certificate. As of two weeks ago it was last inspected in 2004. That means either the landlord breaks all kind of laws until he gets busted, or he's plugged in enough to not worry about no inspectors with no stinkin' badges. From what I've heard of RI I would bet on the latter.[/QUOTE]I would have to agree. From my understanding of Providence, it is one of the last places that is truly mafia owned and run. IMHO I think the closing of the "loophole" was nothing more than the state trying to save face and to get the likes of Donna Hughes and the rest of her feminazi brigade off their backs. As we have seen, there have been absolutely no raids involving AMPs since the new law was passed. The only people that have been busted have been independent providers and the mongers that attempted to use their services. I'm assuming they targeted these people because organized crime was not involved and not making any money from it, and therefore no one else was (I. E. Uncle LEO, receiving "donations" to turn a blind eye). It appears to me that the Providence AMP scene is very well connected, ever seen the police stickers stuck on the front window of Lily's? I would be willing to bet that all the strip clubs, AMPs, and any other sexually oriented businesses within Providence are all owned by organized crime, regardless of who the publicly announced owner may B. I don't think there is any question that this is a very corrupt city. With the amount of money these places bring in and the industry as a whole, one can only imagine how many people are on the "payroll" behind the scenes (including cops and politicians). Even after a very publicly announced change in the law the AMP scene is still blatantly operating in plain sight. In my opinion, I don't think any of us need to worry about the AMP scene suddenly disappearing anytime soon. So get out there and enjoy it!
Happy Mongering
