I’m pretty sure we are in an era of LE does whatever it wants, rules schmules

It seems to be : Complaint + online search for advertising and reviews+ onsite search by TDLR with possibly Law enforcement support. It is a condition of the shop owners license to submit to a “ search / inspection “…….. when they find contraband. Sexy clothes, luggage, condoms, lots of mouthwash, People sleeping there, full refrigerators their license can be immediately revoked. Then, the ultimate chickenshit is have ICE present and tell them that what they have found are indications of Human Trafficking( 100% non existent) . It’s now a State Agency they have pinned a badge on that has no prior LE background with unchecked authority. Tragic….
