Well, fuck. Thai DDS mentioned by name. Likely includes Healing Spa on Grand River in Farmington.

Update. Yep. This one shows Healing Spa in the video clip.

I have noticed that all the closures since I been following this forum seem to follow a trend, that can be used to predict the future closures -.

If the buisness resides inside the city limits that also has a PD, much higher chance of closure. By this logic, I think those Asian Apartments in Novi will be closed next.

Alternatively, it seems that if a place is stand-alone, it has a better chance of staying open. That can be hard to tell sometimes.

The real point tho, is I think the places outside of City Limits, perhaps just under Sheriff jurisdiction, will likely be safer / survive longer.

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/human-trafficking-ring-busted-metro-detroit-after-six-month-investigation[/QUOTE]My 2 cents. If there is human trafficking shut the bitches down. Now, we all now that those old ladies are not being trafficked. They want to do that job. So what happens? We are busy busting a place on grand river or where ever but yet we allow assholes to drive down our streets at 60 70 miles per hour likely to hit and kill our loved ones going to school or work. Who are we protecting? What is wrong with our government? The National Human Trafficking Hotline reports In 2023, it received 779 signals from Michigan, leading to the identification of 506 trafficking victims across 254 cases of which none died.

While exact figures for 2025 are pending, these reports underscore Michigan's ongoing commitment to combating human trafficking through law enforcement, community engagement, and support services. While doing so, in 2025 alone as of May 13 Michigan has reported 294 traffic fatalities on its roadways. This figure reflects an increase of 15 deaths compared to the previous week and is slightly higher than the 279 fatalities reported as of May 6, 2025. Additionally, there have been 1,353 serious injuries reported statewide up to that date. Where should we put our law enforcement? Are the citizens of Detroit not important? Are Asians who pursue those jobs privileged? Chime in.

Chime in.[/QUOTE]"How do you know when a politician is lying?" So, you know that old saw, and Karen McDonald is just another politician and this is her particular raison d'être.

So, yeah, the providers at Thai DDS were generally younger than other places. The oldest were in their 40's, but most of them were in their late 20's and 30's. But, yeah, I seriously doubt they were being trafficked any more than M1, which is back open, and GoldStar, which is also back open. I don't know that Thai DDS will be back open within six months, but I wouldn't be surprised.

We all know someone who was injured or killed by a speeder or drunk driver; none of us know anyone who was killed by an AMP.

My two cents:

1) Human trafficking arrests attract more praise, more good press, and grants for LE than does fighting moving violations.

2) While deaths from motor traffic collisions should cause more outrage than do sex worker acts in which no one gets hurt, the public somehow finds the sex crimes less acceptable than traffic deaths. I think it's because most people know a family member or friend who have been involved in a drunk driving or speeding incident, but few people know any sex workers personally — especially Asian massage parlor workers. They think sympathetically "that could have been me", regarding the friend who "lost control" of their vehicle and slammed into a motorcycle or a school bus and hurt someone; but very few ever look at a sex worker in an arrest video and thinks "that could have been me".

3) The conservative fundamentalist evangelical community that heavily influences policies and voting is very much in favor of shutting down sex parlors, because unrestricted sex is anathema to their teachings. They are less interested in too much law enforcement effort to reduce drunk driving, because that hits too close to home. How easy would it be to set up periodic traffic stops to check for drunk drivers (and those with outstanding warrants)? I suspect that group is afraid that section would backfire on their membership.

4) AMP's are low hanging fruit. Easy pickings to get the most bang for your law enforcement budget buck. I suspect it's more costly to build cases against motorists who killed someone, than it is to build a case against an AMP for human trafficking. We all know stories of some drunk driver who killed someone and received a short sentence.

Sorry to say they already got raided, probably setup to close to homes.

Don't remember what she used to advertise under, but I remember her being active on BP back then and as recent as a year or so ago on either LC or STG. Never got the chance to meet her, but in conversations seemed like a nice girl mixed up with the wrong people. People are reckless.

Quality inn in Southfield just got raided. Be careful out there.

[QUOTE=DeboDee23;7351851]Quality inn in Southfield just got raided. Be careful out there.[/QUOTE]One of the pimps was on the news, banging his dome on the holding cell glass in Southfield jail. The local elections are weeks away as well.

[QUOTE=DeboDee23;7351851]Quality inn in Southfield just got raided. Be careful out there.[/QUOTE]The story is she called the police because he broke her windshield then told police she was being held against her will so he was charged with trafficking but if that was true she would not have a car and he sure would not let her get to a phone to call police.
