there are five pages... but it is worth the read. LOL so funny.
[QUOTE=Keloid]Do you actually believe that the women in the AMPs are victims of human trafficking. One interview I had the other day the person said that the news and politicians use the link between AMP and human trafficking like Bush used the link between Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. Both links are not valid, (atleast in the Korean MPs in RI), but the link is made to get the public up in a tissy.[/QUOTE]
Keloid-
You are right about that but there is another reason local police and sheriffs label everything they can as "trafficking". The reason is money.
Local departments need and want federal funds. Millions of federal tax dollars have been mandated to be given to any local LE that has a "trafficking problem" but does not have the funds to investigate.
Suddenly every sex bust in every local Heehaw County in the country is some foreign conspiracy related to "Human trafficking" and the tax dollars flow to local departments that are politcally correct. Church and state have never been closer.

A Fourth of July salute to America's hardest working entertainers
Baseball. Hot dogs. Apple pie. Lap dances. Is there anything more American? Heading into the long Fourth of July weekend, TSG salutes the country's hard-working strippers, who are now regularly being arrested for the most victimless of crimes (prostitution, indecent exposure, etc.). As you peruse the mug shots of these persecuted pole dancers, don't forget that you're actually staring into the face of what makes this country so great. Happy Independence Day, indeed.

The general charge is at the top LEWDNESS,what's up with that?You drive down the street in any metropolitan city in the world and a large percentage of the general public could be charged with this.

Whats the difference when the cops go into a business and get free coffee and donut's?
Same thing prostitution,they get payed to keep up the wonderful services they provide.Free this and that in return for whatever they can get.They feel better about the way they do it because it's configured in a different way.Portraylal of the city's finest,it's a hell of a way to earn a dollar.

Cop censured for under the covers work
Email this Story
Jul 20, 8:18 AM (ET)
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A woman police officer moonlighting as a prostitute has got off with a caution, New Zealand police said Thursday.
The unidentified officer, stationed in the country's biggest city Auckland, was discovered last year to have been a prostitute for a short time.
"The officer concerned has been counseled. Under police procedures this amounts to a censure," Deputy Police Commissioner Lyn Provost said in a statement.
The police officer, who was understood to be having financial difficulties, had not sought permission to have a second job. Such applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.
"This type of secondary employment would never be approved given that the type of work is inappropriate and incompatible with policing," Provost said.
New Zealand made prostitution legal in 2003.
An Auckland spokeswoman for the New Zealand Prostitutes' Collective -- a welfare and lobby group for sex workers -- told the NZ Press Association that a prostitute might earn as much as NZ$500 ($312) on a busy night.
Asked if she had heard of other police officers moonlighting as sex workers, she said: "We have law students that are sex workers, we have doctors that are sex workers. I mean anyone can be a sex worker."
I am quite disgusted with recent assaults on individual liberties. Police are confiscating condoms and even lingerie to use as evidence in prostitution cases. Some massage parlors are forbidding the presence of condoms - which usually means a handjob is all you'll get - if even that. More parlors might have providers dress in street clothes if the presence of sexy clothes is used against them. In Waterbury I got used to readily available (10 AMP's) safe, scrupuously clean, sex with scantily clad lovelies (well, naked at the climax). Condoms were always used. Let's face it, it was paradise. Waterbury AMP's are now shut down. Riskier and IMHO less pleasant SW sex is now the Waterbury norm.
Condomless massage parlors are less safe. Handjobs don't pay as well so girls will be tempted to sell up to barebacked blowjobs. Plus customers want more. A bare backed blow job is relatively easy to sneak in without notice. And no condom for evidence. Hopefully no barebacked humping is going on. But there is more risk of STD's with increased BBBJ's.
Law Enforcement would be doing their job of protecting the public better if they gave out condoms rather than using them for evidence. Hell, maybe they ought to provide low cost transportation to the USA for Korean sexworkers and open up their own clean, safe brothels equipped with barrels and crates of condoms.

Someone named TrojanGreg recently wrote on another site, "Just before Christmas they raided. And closed about 15 [Clayton County AMPs] permanently. " Clayton County is in Georgia
That's an interesting statement by TrojanGreg, because here in Columbia, Missouri ("Tiger Country" 100 miles west of Saint Louis), police raided and closed 2 long-established Massage Parlors: Lynn's and Fuji's. Lynn's Massage Parlor had operated for at least 12 years, if not a lot longer. Fuji's Sauna had been open since at least the early '80's.
Like in Georgia, this happened a week or two before Christmas and a week or so after. In the month of December a year earlier, police raided and closed a third Columbia parlor. December seems to be a bad month for massage parlors.
What is going on? Is there a nation-wide connection? Do other people know of long-time operating parlors that have been shut down *suddenly*? I mean these parlors had been open forever. I really miss visiting Lynn's. Could the Bush administration have coordinated a national "close-the-parlors" campaign?
Columbia has had the same mayor and police chief for many, many years, so I don't think they instigated the closings. If anybody has been to Lynn's, you know how good it was.
I just learned of two more mass closings of massage parlors across the country.
In late November, 2006, "Double Nickle" wrote in the "Rookie Monger Discussions" that:
"There were 10 Asian Massage Parlors (AMPs) in Waterbury, Connecticut where I lived. Then all 10 Waterbury AMPs were shut down."
So now we have a third example of multiple closings.
The mass shut-downs in Waterbury happened in August, 2006. So we have Columbia, Missouri; Clayton County, Georgia; and Waterbury, Connecticut. I have to wonder if there are more--perhaps many more--unusual raids and closings that happened in 2006.
These 3 examples that I currently know about happened across the country, dispersed across a wide geographic area: The Northeast, the Southeast, and the Midwest, and all occurred in 2006.
Something seems fishy to me, and I have to wonder if there was some sort of federal coordination involved.
Maybe my suspicions are wrong, but then maybe they're not.
Oh, I forgot to mention that there's yet a fourth unusual example of multiple parlor closings. Somebody writing on another site mentioned that three AMPs in the Seattle-Tacoma area near Lakewood were shut down. That expands our geographic distribution of mass parlor closings in 2006 to also include the Northwest. There definitely seems to be a federally coordinated effort to raid and close parlors.
Not all of them are AMPs, by the way. Lynn's, for instance, was a regular MP.
If anyone knows of other unusual closings across the country, please let us know.

Rosco, I am seeing a trend in Maryland where there is an all out effort to close down "adult" businesses.
It's all part of a political ploy to convince constituents that they are getting tough on crime. You will see this especially around election time. I also think some of this is cyclic as the pendulum in our Country swings back-in-forth from conservative to liberal.
In the past few years in Maryland, I have seen adult movie theaters, massage parlors, escort services, bath houses, and the like closed down or go out of business. There has also been a increased effort to crack down on prostitution too.
LE and our politicians use a variety of unique ways to shut down these adult enterprises. Rezoning an area is a favorite ploy, stricter licensing laws on starting these businesses, harassment of established adult businesses by LE, to mention a few.
No telling where all this is going to end up. Only time will tell.

That is the conundrum that exists when you use legal definitions. My first 2 massage parlor visits were in London, England in 1972 and 1973. A late starter, I was still a virgin at the time.
At the first place I got a sauna and a great Swedish massage. Haircuts were also available, but no hand job or other such extras. At the second place I got a massage and a hand job. I don't believe other extras were available. In United States legal code I believe a handjob is considered sex, the lady performing it a prostitute, and the massage parlor where it is performed a brothel. I do not believe the legal codes define a virgin otherwise than the dictionary definition. My dictionary defines a virgin as a woman or man who has not had sexual intercourse, defined as the joining of male and female sexual organs. I certainly did not consider myself to have lost my virginity until I got FS at the Oasis Health Spa, Times Square, New York City in 1974.
I really think it would be better for the legal code to conform to dictionary usage. A handjob is just a handjob, not sex. The masseuse performing it is just a masseuse, not a prostitute. The massage parlor she is working at is just a massage parlor, not a brothel. Certainly those are the opinions of those Chinese masseuses who perform this service as an integral part of the massage (not all do).

Double Nickel, you have to remember that our judicial system was designed FOR and BY lawyers for their self-serving interests (i.e., money). The laws are vague or obtuse purposely to confuse people to facilitate more litigation. Hence, the more confusion, more money for the lawyers.
This really came to light during the Clinton/Lewinski fiasco over the definition what constitutes sex. Clinton claimed that getting a blow job did not meet the definition of sex, only sexual intercourse did, so he never had sex with her. That started the proverbial ball rolling regarding dictionary vs. legal definitions of various terms.
I agree, I think the legal and dictionary definitions should be consistent and useable in a court of law.
