News and Media Reports

Any phone call from a LE agency is a fishing expedition. I grew up in a LE family. Both parents retired, Uncle County Sheriff and more cousins than I can count in various levels of LE. Talking to them on a cold call is not much different from participating in FST's on a suspected DUI stop. NEVER, EVER EVER EVER do FST's. They aren't pass / fail designed. If you are over, you're just giving them more evidence against you, if you aren't over, it'll be proven with the blow later. Politely refuse. Same for these phone calls. They don't have enough to arrest you, nor prosecute you. I suppose if you have a SO, you don't want them knocking on your door because you wouldn't cooperate on the phone. But, still better to politely decline. No Habla English Senor.

[QUOTE=Bdirect;7473979]I have never been charged with anything (been lucky) ...I don't know if things have changed but, it was years ago that LEO called me about a AMP they just shut down. . and used high pressure (of course) to find something to charge me[/QUOTE]

You can find flock cameras by googling Deflock, ken wood mall is covered. If anyone is wondering.

Just my 2 cents

[QUOTE=TapThat;7470132]They are easy to spot though, not mounted in the woods. They are also solar powered, correct[/QUOTE].

Not sure if it is dated raid or just happen. A guy claim on Facebook the AMP on 5th Street got raided today. And then others posted that it was months ago. And then posting about the Ohio attorney general website has news about 2 arrested with felony charges in Marysville. They have links to the website. Who knows what is going on.

Thanks Buddy, very helpful.

Every time before you lie down? Towels? Ugghhh! I know at the Deli Counter they change the paper napkin out. I also know the alcohol bath you get there more than likely kills a few germs and burns a few bags.

Thanks for sharing.

The first outbreak is in Minnesota. Probably started with a three-way between a Somali, they / them in an alien costume, and a US Marshall.

Another media report, only this time not about fungus. Rather, LEO and the legislature's continued efforts to stamp out the hobby in the Buckeye State.

Saw this article discussing a bill winding its way through the Ohio house. At first, I took it as just another sign of increasing anti-trafficking focus. Then, I shared it with a friend (another well-known area monger) who pointed out the draft bill contains language possibly making it easier to pop mongers with a felony. While they specifically exempt working girls that manage their own affairs, they make it clear that anyone profiting in any way from the sex trade would be catching at least a class 2 felony. You say, "but I'm not profiting, Slam!" Well, the language says you might be.

There are good men on this board who have longstanding relationships with one or more AMPs. And who do dirt for them in one form or another, be it running supplies to the business or the occasional airport run to pick up a girl from NY or LA. Maybe money isn't technically changing hands, but I wouldn't put it past LEO to sweat someone for any possible bartered involvement. Remember Operation Buyers Remorse, October '23, when AG Yost published the names of 100+ mongers?

I'm no attorney (though likely some of you might be) but I think everyone should read the article from [URL]cleveland.com[/URL] and stay informed. It's been less than a week since two Clermont AMPs were shutdown. Be informed, stay safe, brothers.

Damn, I'd love to do an airport run for trade.

"This essentially broadens liability to include people who manage, funnel or redistribute earnings from prostitution instead of just those who physically accept it."

We know they (LEO) are currently following the money. This will allow them to charge more people. That may be what they are waiting on before unleashing maximum pain.

"Promoting prostitution, for instance, makes it illegal to operate a brothel, supervise a prostitute or otherwise profit from sex trafficking.

Compelling prostitution is a more serious crime that involves forcing someone to engage in prostitution through force, fear, duress or intimidation.

Prosecutors can also bring charges under Ohio's human trafficking law when someone recruits, lures, transports or harbors another person for the purpose of sexual exploitation."

Bigger consequences. Ugghh.

Great perspective, as always, SlamT. Our dear friend C. E. Had already shared some precision insight on this. This is a "nice guys finish last" proposition. Even if you want to be nice and help out (grocery run, airport run, take them to the bank, etc), out of a good intention, you could still potentially and indirectly be connected to a crime. Even money laundering, without even knowing it or thinking you had anything to do with it. It's a sobering wake up call.

[QUOTE=Hairy2;7534776]The first outbreak is in Minnesota. Probably started with a three-way between a Somali, they / them in an alien costume, and a US Marshall.[/QUOTE]We should, perhaps, keep the racism elsewhere.

[QUOTE=TickleJay;7542526]Damn, I'd love to do an airport run for trade.[/QUOTE]The law is not in effect yet. But we are stuck in this buckeye ecosystem to stamp out all AMPs. Any level. But they let daycare fraud go on for years in their Columbus backyard under their nose. they did shut down 12 somali daycares last year.. the population Somali is over 60k in c-bus, so somebody did airport runs to pick up Somali

Was doing some random looking into the new law and found something more of interest. The ability to charge a landlord! Ugghh. What's that going to do to the market place the first time that happens? You can't convince me some landlords aren't aware of what's happening on their properties. I don't doubt there isn't a hush money trail there too.

This new law truly is designed to follow the money.

"While the OPD believes current law sufficiently covers the illegal aspects of prostitution and.

Remains concerned that additional criminalization will result in stacking of charges, the OPD's.

Primary opposition with HB 507 is its imposition of a third-degree felony penalty. We appreciate.

The bill's aim to target persons who are knowingly engaging in conduct that condones, while.

Also profiting from, prostitution. However, language also catches others who do not necessarily.

Condone the conduct but do in fact know a person is engaged in prostitution. This can include.

A landlord, convenience store owner, or even a health care provider. ".
