[QUOTE=SemperFi;2061588]All over the news awhile back was about the big prostitution bust at Golden Massage in Nashville. Well it seems that those charges have been dropped against the 3 poor ladies that were arrested and displayed all over the news. My question now is why were they arrested in the first place? I never saw Golden Massage or Magic in Franklin as anything other than a place to get a wonderful massage. Nice, friendly, hardworking people that provided good massage service. Charges against the owner appear to be pending for sex trafficking and other. Come on Nashville news media. This smells rotten.[/QUOTE]It's called extrajudicial punishment. It's a 'style' of law enfacement where the LEOs pull out all the stops while "investigating" a crime so as to cause maximum frustration for the target of their investigation. Basically it's a way for LEOs to terrorize people the don't approve of, like sex-workers, recreational drug users, and brown people.
Cops want to shut down a AMP, send in a SWAT team, ransack the place, and arrest everyone inside. Even if they can't make a case, the place is tainted, hobbyists are going to avoid it and the girls who get released, because now we assume (right or wrong) that they are working with LEO.
The poor girls who get caught don't have the money to fight it, and is a court in TN really ever going to say that anything LEO does is "excessive"?
