A Relaxing Massage in Naples
[QUOTE=JimmyJack1817;6989619]Went by Yian, DC and a few other East Naples places. Looks like all closed except Relaxation Station. Anyone have feedback on them?[/QUOTE]My bad. Meant to ask about A Relaxing Massage on Tamiami in East Naples. Drove by too fast the first time and misread the name. Online it looks promising but wonder if no extras since it's the only one around still working.
Florida House Bill 197 and Collier County LE's Exuberance
As I read HB197, and as [B]Thunter[/B] has alluded to previously, employees of a Massage Establishment are not [B]required[/B] to scan, or even view, your government issued ID. The law simply states they are required to "verify", but does not demand examination of government issued ID. One could ask how verification is possible WITHOUT viewing an ID, such as your Driver License, but this law does not explicitly demand that action as the sole possible method. The Massage Establishment could reasonably contend that they viewed the customer's business card, or his "Employee Badge/ID", or any other reasonable form of ([U]NON-GOVERNMENT ISSUED[/U]) identification.
How they choose to "verify" would seem to have been left ambiguous by the wording of the law, so if LE wants to criticize their verification procedures, LE would still seem to have a difficult time enforcing any sort of [U]government issued ID[/U] check. As the law fails to demand that action on the part of the Massage Establishment.
For those contemplating flashing a "fake government issued ID" to an AMP, be aware that use of a "fake ID", McLovin' or otherwise, has other consequences. Florida Law stipulates that it's [RED]illegal to possess and/or display a fake, forged, stolen, counterfeit or borrowed driver's license or state-issued identification card[/RED]. The statute ([URL=https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2011/322.212][b][u]Florida Statute 322.212[/u][/b][/URL]) makes the mere possession of a fake ID a crime, and the ID does not need to be used for any particular purpose. If you are caught with a fake ID, the penalty can be filed (at the discretion of the States Attorney) as a third-degree felony carrying a jail sentence of up to 5 years with a fine up to $5000 (that's a lot of hobby-dollars). This CLEARLY does not apply to a NON-government issued form of identifcation.
So, if one wanted to employ use of a "fake ID", make sure it's a bogus Employment Badge or Identification, or some other NON-GOVERNMENT issued ID ... even a business card! ... with the necessary information to satisfy any AMP asking for ID. If a customer were to DO that, once you leave the AMP, there is nothing tying you back to that bogus logbook entry, as long as you don't show LE your "fake" business card, Employee Badge/ID, or any other non-government issued ID you may have used (this to address [B]QuartzB[/B]s concern below).
For the full text of House Bill 197, [URL=https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2024/197/BillText/Filed/PDF][b][red]CLICK HERE[/red][/b][/URL] and draw your attention to Paragraph F, beginning at PDF document line number 250 on page 11, for specific reference to the matters discussed above. For anyone paranoid about links, or otherwise click-challenged, I'll paste a snippet here again that [B]Thunter[/B] pasted a few days ago:
[QUOTE](f) [red]A massage establishment must maintain a complete set
of legible records[/red] in English [b][u]or[/u][/b] Spanish, which must include the
date, time, and type of service or treatment provided; the full
legal name of the employee who provided the service or
treatment; and the [red]full legal name, home address, and telephone
number of the client or patient.[/red] Medical records may satisfy
this requirement if the records include the specified
information. A copy of the client's or patient's photo
identification may be used to provide the full legal name and
home address of the client or patient. Records required under
this paragraph must be maintained for at least 1 year after a
service or treatment is provided. All information required under
this paragraph must be collected and recorded before any service
or treatment is provided to a client or patient. The
establishment must confirm the identification of the client or
patient before any service or treatment is provided to the
client or patient.[/QUOTE]For anyone getting 'pulled over' by LE after an AMP visit, ostensibly for some minor traffic violation, and then being interrogated by the deputy, the YouTube video here would seem to be a safe, albeit "ballsy" way to handle that.

I'm sure that would piss off the deputy for not being able to use you for their harrassment objectives of the AMP, so I'm also guessing they'd make that 'traffic stop' as long as painful as possible, but as long as you've done nothing else illegal, LE should have nothing on you. JUST DON'T ANSWER [B][u]ANY[/u][/B] QUESTIONS! ... it's your right NOT to do so.
