Parlor staff was likely cooperating on the sting
[QUOTE=Bbinsider;4165692]They've also charged two more billionaires. One is the former president of Citigroup and he says he hasn't heard anything from the police yet. The other is a big wall street guy. WARNING. Don't piss off a billionaire.[/QUOTE]The owners were cooperating with police in the sting. Since the inside recordings took place over a 5 day period inside the rooms, LEO would need to place robust cameras that would be impossible to install without the owner's knowledge. Simple wireless cameras could have been placed by health inspectors that entered prior to LEO, but they would not last 5 days and record continuously. A wireless camera that records continuously would need a LEO surveillance car or van within 100 feet to get a decent recording.
These cameras were likely powered by an outlet and recorded to SD cards (or equivalent). The cameras could have been hidden in a clock, radio, or anything else plugged into a wall. Handheld devices exist that are not terribly expensive and are specifically designed to detect the lens on a hidden camera due to the reflected light from the lens. I would use one of those to sweep the room either before the provider enters or after she has left the room.
The key takeaway is that the owners helped LEO entrap the customers. There is no other way the recordings inside the rooms could have happened over a 5 day event.

The more information; the more adept we will be to the tactics.
Addictive behavior? Ya think??
Martin County Sheriff William Snyder rejected that: "We were able to determine with certainty that 9 out of 10 men who went into the parlors where we did the search warrants were there for sex. ".
There is a "community" of clients, of johns, who frequent businesses like this, who find out about them (mostly) online and often leave reviews of the "services" provided.
"There's a statistical possibility some of these men were testing the waters for the first time," said Snyder. Most likely, he said, they were repeat customers.
"Sex can be an addictive behavior," he said. "That's what I think you're seeing here. ".
Another vote for "way overblown"
Agree with night and BBinsider's positions. I could be wrong, but I just don't see the Florida AMP sting with hidden cameras happening here in Atlanta. 1. Doubtful any Arthur Blank-level individuals would be caught up in it here, therefore no major media exposure. 2. They way they ran the Florida operation, it was a significant investment of man-hours. Unless they uncover & bust a huge human trafficking operation, what has that signficant investment of resources gotten them. A bunch of mongers busted on misdemeanor charges that will plea down to nothing? I would think a police agency would have to justify such a significant expense, vs. Devoting those limited resources to go after unsolved rapes, murders, etc. Knowing what I know of local CAMPS, the ladies aren't trafficked and certainly don't need to be "rescued", despite what is hysterically portrayed in the media. They're in it for the money, don't live at their shops and many drive nice cars.
Anyone know someone higher up than beat cop in one of the metro Atlanta agencies? I'd be very curious to know what their opinion is on the likelihood of Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett agencies following the Jupiter Police "template".
[QUOTE=Bbinsider;4169570]Your right on all counts. It's just a over-saturated story in a world of way too many news outlets. Men have been willing to pay, one way or another, for several thousand years. I think it's pretty safe to assume that isn't changing anytime soon.[/QUOTE]
