[QUOTE=Sillyolman;2166357]Call me naive but is that legal? Is there no recourse for someone who has been portraid as doing something wrong then no charges were filed? That is just plane wrong.[/QUOTE]Welcome to America, land of a bunch of fake one way rights.
[QUOTE=Ufo407;2165838]Around 1:20. The newscaster states "MBI believes Elite could be part of a prostitution ring in the Orlando area. " The MBI officer states "We're basically in the infancy. This is one of the first stages. There are some things I can't discuss that will lead us to believe its bigger than this. ".
Sounds like there is going to be more action and intelligence gathering to follow if this is just the first stage. So I didn't realize that going to relax and gettin a body rub from a hot 20 something that is half naked after working all week was such a crime. The agencies did not even even catch anyone in any criminal act, but they still paraded them outside in plastic zipties and sat them in the back of patrol cars with news cameras being shoved in their face. I'd like to know who the fuck cares so much about what other people choose to do with their time and money they work for? I can't help but to wonder if a lot of this funding for these operations comes from grants and federal / state programs under the banner of 'human trafficking' because "The body rub trade" would probably not stir up as much negative emotions and imagery as 'trafficking' has been historically associated with drugs and guns.[/QUOTE]Body rubs falls under massage. So preforming massage or body rubs without a license in Florida is a felony!
There probably could be recourse to the TV station as they were on private property while filming and probably didn't get any permission but who wants the publicity. The sheriff probably called a few stations but only one showed up so he could be held liable for something, I'm no lawyer but it would be nice to sweat him some like those guys sweated I imagine.

So I'm bummed out about Elite getting busted, but really surprised to see them advertising on BP again. I just saw Khloe last week, and was really pumped to see her again.

It seems odd that they're opening back so soon, advertising two new girls (at least I've never heard of 'them). Anyone willing to check 'them out? It seems extra suspicious to me, but I'd be interested in hearing about a post-MBI visit.

I wonder if they maybe are actually a legally run massage business and that MBI really screwed the pooch on this one? If so, they couldn't BUY the advertising they got on Channel 9.
Just sayin'.

The WFTV (of course) report, at one point shows the mongers. One standing and shirtless, and the other, younger, cuffed in the back of the cruiser. Stating along the lines of "compromising positions" the way the agents found them (with?) the girls, whom looked good by the way.
I mean, what can you do in this situation? I know it has crossed my mind once or twice while I've been on the table between the time you get there and when the girl walks in. I just suppose you stay quiet to the police, but they've got all sorts of tactics and "statutes" at their disposal. Like they said, all 'father-ly' "they're not off the hook, yet"!

C3.[/QUOTE]The TV report said they were busted because they didn't have a massage license.
So, for grins I looked the law on massage businesses up. Did you know it is against the law for a massage school to advertise they are teaching students how to solicit for sex? I continue to read and learn.

[QUOTE=Sillyolman;2168488]The TV report said they were busted because they didn't have a massage license.[/QUOTE]Like my industry (Private Investigations) any advertisement or solicitation for business requires the agency's license to be affixed to such advertisement to include a sign. This is why I suspect licensed providers who follow the law on this never seem to get busted even if they provide extras.
So all of this buzz about massage parlors with no license to operate, expired licenses, and the oh so dangerous 'compromising positions'; and I ask where is the terrible danger to the community? Sure one of these joints did have an illegal drug operation in the background, and kudos to our readers in blue for that. Yet thousands are spent to destroy the hobby where consenting adults are engaged in business. Priorities are skewed towards easy prey, and not against the real criminals out there. And yes, I know its all about media attention, but if a bust of twenty providers earns good ratings, then imagine what a hot scoop the bust of a real criminal ring would bring.
Just a thought and my humble opinion.
And food for though for the boys in blue.

I was unaware until reading the posts that it was a felony to give a body rub with out a license. Would make sense that without the proper licenses that it would be an open door to getting easily harrassed. Would probably benefit to to be aware of who your neighbors are and try and stay more in commercial and industrial areas. If you have residential neighbors close by where there is constant complaints, whether real or false, someone may be forced to act.
