[QUOTE=LuigiMongerone;7408421]Anyone else suddenly getting mysterious texts from a young Asian girl who "texted the wrong number", but sends a pic, asks your name, where you're from? Suddenly as in the day after these busts started?[/QUOTE]Those are scam texts. Ignore them or play the fool for awhile, up to you. I get them at lease once per week. I don't think they have anything to do with the hobby. I get them on my non-hobby phone too.

Suddenly as in the day after these busts started?[/QUOTE]I played along and even got a few very staged pics of a beautiful young Asian girl who owns her own business. The texting went on for a few days, but eventually I was offered in on a TGTBT money making opportunity that she only does for her friends.
This is not welcome news about Lavender.
This "Letter" BS by the mayor sounds really fishy and could open up the town and mayor to lawsuits. Despite the constant mention of "Human trafficking" there have been no arrests made and no crimes alleged. They shut down the spas for code violations. To suggest that some innocent civilian patronizes prostitutes or is involved in "Human trafficking" with no due process is defamation.
Everyone has the right to do business in that building and access to the parking lot while doing so. Defaming someone to whomever might open or read their mail, based on the criminal act of exploiting multiple states' DMV records, is a violation of statutory law and possibly Constitutional law under the Fourth Amendment (unreasonable search and seizure). There is NO probable cause created by parking in front of a business, entering the business or purchasing the legitimate goods and services of any establishment.
LE in that area (including Lawrence and Lowell) have played it fast and loose with those laws trying to crack down on the sale and distribution of narcotics, going back decades. They even blockaded some roads to prevent through traffic in some instances.
In other cities and states shutting down a bunch of AMPs usually came before a local election. The next election for mayor of Methuen is November 4, 2025. I suspect this dog and pony show it political theater.
Well that sucks a big bag of dicks.
Hope Michelle makes it away clean. I haven't been hobbying for some time now (too b1 ch-ass broke) but I feel bad for all that frequented these fine health establishments to get completely legitimate, non-sexual therapy services.
Apparently some of us (the generic "us") forgot the golden rule when it comes to police encounters:
Shut.
The.
Fuck.
Up.
"No thank you, I have no desire to discuss ANYTHING with you. Am I being detained? No? Then good day and eat my ass. ".
And the twatwaffle that started the ball rolling? Mrs. Foote. (Mentioned in the articles) She can eat a bag of dicks raw, with no ketchup.
She had a perfect unobstructed view of the parking in front of No. 5 from that little window on the front of her house. Must be where she set up the camera.

[/QUOTE]I did a quick search, both on this board and on Google, and I can't find an instance where Lowell police have raided a massage parlor. They have made prostitution and drug stings of various types, but they seem to have never specifically targeted massage parlors. It looks like our friends at QQ are safe.
Have there been any new developments?
I have been searching online for news but I have not been able to any updates just the original stories?
Thanks for any info.

I suspect this dog and pony show it political theater.[/QUOTE]It's been a few weeks if the letters were truly happening someone would have gotten one by now also now that the anxiety and fear of the initial bust is gone I suspect at most they only have information about the spa Foote was directly located because the other spas were shut down on health code technicalities and the other 4 spas voluntarily left, that should mean they couldn't have as much information as they claimed or at the very least they couldn't act on that information. I have rewatched the interview multiple times and it's not clear they even have the license plate readers set up. Therefore I agree this is just election talk and hopefully this prick mayor loses election as I said anyone more knowledgeable about this situation please advise.
[QUOTE=JohnDick75;7418952] I have rewatched the interview multiple times and it's not clear they even have the license plate readers set up. [/QUOTE]Yes, I was wondering about that. Exactly where do they plan to set up license plate readers? I don't think they can just go onto private property and set up cameras.
It is very possible that in a month or two some of the shops might return. In the mean time does anyone have recomendations for similar quality to Lavender?

At most, they have a handful of license plates taken by residents near Wallace St and there is no way they are going to risk massive defamation lawsuits by sending out letters to people via questionably obtained plates.
Now, moving forward for the near future, it's very possible they will set up plate scanners. Especially at the hotspots like YL. They will still unlikely send letters because they still can't prove any illegal activity so if you do receive one, contact a civil rights lawyer and post here so others can contact the same lawyer. If numerous people all report to the same lawyer who takes civil rights seriously, they can do a massive lawsuit against the city.
Just encourage anyone in Methuen to vote against the guy this election. Make up some reason. And hope this clown falls back to obscurity.

All the AMPs left town, so once the police get their hands on the plate scanners, they'll immediately be put to use to generate revenue for the city by issuing citations for all sorts of stuff they randomly run across and to prop up their arrest numbers by finding and executing open warrants. And this will be all over Methuen, not just near the AMPs, of course. Oh, inspection overdue? Ticket. Registration overdue? Ticket. Missed jury duty? Arrested. And so on and so on.
