Massage Parlor Reports

[Dry Cities]

I read it as they looked so bad after months' long investigation and the embarrassment of getting questionable warrants signed and served they came up empty and were using a scare tactic. A few days before it all went don't I entered and exited and saw the same dude in a vehicle watching. Didn't ask me nothing. I was certain it was someone watching. They had the look and no reason to have been still there literally backed in facing. Not that I care. Nothing wrong with a massage.

If you noticed a guy obviously watching and surveiilling the store-front then you should have pulled your phone out and and started taking pictures of him sitting in his car. If he gets tough just tell him he is suspicious there watching a store front and that you're going to notify the proper authorities of a possible crime. Call him out. There's no crime in going into a health-spa. Let the tough guy know that if he's watching then he's being watched too. You have to "watch the watchers" and if they want to play that game then call them out.

Pulled them over for what? Why would anyone volunteer any info.

In one of the news stories when things all went down the cops said they had been taking video outside the establishments for weeks.

My guess is they pulled over a few guys who were leaving. Threatened them with all kinds of things if they didn't admit what happened at the business blah blah blah. Weenie dude spills the beans and walks away. Cops have what they need for a warrant.

The police need probable cause to get a warrant. They can't just burst in. I wonder how they were able to get 4 warrants?

5 I think 3 in Kingsport Blountville and one in Bristol.

Without being political, not when you are a minority that isn't going to fight back and with nobody in the public to speak up, this is what happens.

Get a massage. Business is slow right now which is nice because things aren't rushed but if it continues numbers go down.

I believe the Asheville and Tri Cities raids were only separated by a few days.

The Ashe raids were of course part of the law that went into effect earlier this year.

In terms of the why for the Tri Cities-look at the calendar. The raids were right before race weekend. I would wager those places make a good chunk of change during that period. Instead they were shut down. Basically an economic penalty.

What do you think the purpose of the raids were for? It doesn't seem like anything became of it. I see Chinese pressure is open again too.

Every thing in the tri is back open except one every thing in Asheville back open except one.

From what I've read on the Asheville boards, they got hit hard recently as well. Could be coincidence or could have been coordinated. I honestly didn't check dates of posts to see if they lined up in any way.

In either case, my friend used to frequent Knox area a lot back in the golden era, say 8-10 years or so ago. The shops there were systematically shut down over a period of about 2 years. Mostly because they had fraudulent massage certificates. Could be what's happening up in your area, popo checking papers for fraud and human trafficking. Just my best guess on it though.

I think I would still be wary about going to any of these places. I walked into fort henry and there was one woman there. I think she's the mamasan. She said everything was ok but she was the only one there since business is so slow.

A friend swung by Great Wall earlier, said there was a sign on the door that said "I'll be back soon. " Lights and sign were on, must have just been out for a while. They drove down to KT after, had a great massage and the after care was as fully engaged as previous visits.
