After reading this, it seems that making this a State responsibility and taking it out the hands of the local Gov.
May actually slow down raids on AMPs due to $$.

This not exactly new but I didn't see it previously. There was a parlor bust in Texas, some time ago and the article, describing it, says: "During an investigation of area massage parlors, police said they found hidden cameras in the massage rooms showing approximately 400 persons involved in sex acts with the trafficking victims", implying that someone else installed the cameras, not them. A customer perhaps? I wonder how common is this, and whether it happens here in MA as well.

Was warned by someone about this a couple of months ago, and purchased an advanced hidden microphone / camera detector. It's totally legal and you can find many of those online. Was taking it with me, and in only one well-known local parlor an actively transmitting device was detected. No idea who installed it, but there aren't too many possibilities to consider.

May I ask which one, please? I will never be there again.

I never parked at the parlor and couldn't figure out why Candy (goes by Lisa now) repeatedly asked me where I am parking and why I am not parking at their lot. That was odd, why would be that of any interest to her. It all makes sense now, as they, probably, wanted the plate info to identify people on videos. Anyway, if you still go there, don't park at their lot ever. It seems to be closely watched.

Just don't be a dumbass and park near the door. First, it is easy to get busted right outside of the door. I know most of ya watch MSNBC, by Chris Hansen, let's face it, it is a lesson. Hahaha.

I had dinner with her recently and she showed me how she gets a notification on her phone each time a customer enters one of her shops. It was apparently motion activated by the video monitor and the app sends her a frame from the video. She swiped her thumb over her phone and it whizzed down scrolling through images of a ton of dudes. I'd expect that most places have a similar setup these days.
As far as cameras / microphones in the rooms? I hope that's not common. I guess there's a bunch of reasons why they might do it. To coach the girls on what to do, to ensure that certain activities aren't happening; to ensure that customers aren't getting too much time without paying the correct house fee; for quality assurance; just to snoop; or to build up material to blackmail with. I've heard rumors of this type of stuff before. Sometimes not even involving technology, things like the owner/manager watching through a grate or a false mirror. Maybe just age-old monger paranoia.
But it does make you look back on certain interactions and wonder if there was more to the story. Like when you ask for certain acts and the girl shushes you. She complies but insists that you don't make a sound.

The mamasan showed the girl on her phone her first day there and showed all the girls that worked there that she was watching, keeping them honest. I think this is more common then we want to think about.

Far east has a sign in the parking lot saying video survalance never been an issue.

But video recording inside the massage rooms brings everything to a completely new level. I don't think I will come even close to Beech ever. Not sure what Candy was thinking opening a FS shop in the heavily populated residential area in Belmont. It's just unavoidable that the parlor will be busted at some point, and what if they found all these video recordings, or at least part of them.
These days and with tech revolution, the girls working in spas even don't know that there are cameras in the room which they can't see. Forget about clients. Every move is recorded and can be used against girls or clients if need be. I guess how quickly we forgot Robert Kraft and Patriots saga! Regardless of legality on these matters, it is fact that we are watched once in parking lot till we leave. Few years back I spoke with this girl who used to work in Providence on Branch avenue in a studio. After she quit there, visited her at her own place and she told me that studio had cameras in each room and being watched for what services she provided clients. It was for how much she charged for each services and not to really watch client activities! Studio wanted to make sure that she was not giving out FS at cheap rate! Massage parlor girls / mamasun can say anything they want to clients. But it is being watched. In fact, I was going to meet this 35 year old woman in Pawtucket last year and casually asked her if she has camera in her apt and she said yes. Of course, I didn't go there. If we think that we are not being taped / watched then we are ALL fool (Including myself). Motels / hotels have cameras in parking lots / doors / hallways and so on as well. We can't hide anymore!
