Exactly. I just posted something similar in a different thread. It’s public complaints that start LE activity not reviews on review boards. Originally Posted by Dirkdiggler41This is not true Sir. If you were on this board (under a different handle/profile name) back when the busts started on Bali, Blue, Number One, JuJu, Luxury, etc nothing was mentioned about public complaints news reports. Those AMPs had been around for years in the same location but what the news reports did mention was the reviews on websites. The acronyms in the websites were mentioned, mamasans were mentioned from the websites, the girls names were mention that were lifted from the websites, details from reviews were mentioned. Some people started to worry about charges being brought up for writing reviews. Do you not think that LE is monitoring websites like these and why do you think they are? If anyone thinks that police ONLY get involved because of public complaints is totally wrong but a public complaint can escalate things and it can start an investigation if the massage location hasn't been on the LE radar. I agree that Karen complaints and news team investigations can get things started of course but Police gather evidence and information from many sources, not just one. The bottom line for everyone is to exercise caution and be vigilant. Don't get complacent, too comfortable or think you know it all. Expect the unexpected. Be aware, study the law and know your rights.

Do you have any articles/reports mentioning those things? Because this is the first time I'm hearing that.Read my post again, then again and maybe one more time. Since you joined here in 2022 you wouldn't know anything about what I am talking about because if you were around and active here at that time you wouldn't be asking for articles/reports and such. It's obvious that you are bypassing/ignoring the important information and details in my post. Why is this even a debate? The consensus should be that LE gathers information from multiple sources and sometimes initial (first time) complaints, to start investigations on any illegal activity and that's exactly what I said.
Not saying it isn't likely or improbable, I imagine this would be the easiest way to shut things down. If it's true I'm surprised more people haven't posted about it. Originally Posted by LGBBQandT

People put things in private tags thinking that they can’t see but you know how easy it to post fake reviews and get premium access, the LE are reading those as well. The facts still remains they can’t hit everyone and they know it. When they shut one down it just pops up somewhere else or even in same spot under a different name. They know it’s not going away realistically. It’s called the oldest profession for a reason. So I’m not denying LE doesn’t monitor the boards but adding a little perspective to say that public complaints are where the focus will go, not because spa A is reviewed 100 times more than Spa B. From time to time a large scale effort like a special task force will be put together to take a big swing at it and is successful in shutting down and curtailing activity for a period of time. The raid in question was successful as the AMP scene is a shadow of it former self. They saw that and still applying more pressure than usual in attempt to keep it down as much as possible. That’s where we are at now in my humble uniformed opinion. Much like this board the amp scene in big d has seen better days.
Just saw Red Rose has officially closed their doors in Plano. Originally Posted by Joddxxx

. . . nothing was mentioned about public complaints news reports . . . what the news reports did mention was the reviews on websites.

Woah dude, chill out. Ok let me re-read your post again.I guess you don't want to do some research for yourself and I'm not going to do it for you. We can agree to disagree and that's ok.

This is not a debate, you've made some claims, and I'm asking you for your sources. No need to get so defensive. Originally Posted by LGBBQandT

We can agree to disagree and that's ok.No, I have done my own research and have found nothing of the sort of what you proclaim in your original post. You refuse to provide any support for your claims and portray this as a "disagreement". I don't disagree with you, I just haven't seen what you're referring to.
I hope that Texas doesn't follow Oklahoma as far as making it illegal to write online reviews in regards to service... Originally Posted by Mental AtrraXXXion

Care to share some of these reports?The closing of Bali (original), Jade, Blue, Number One, Red Rose (original), Luxury, and more, definitely predate your membership date. What you should be familiar with is the Wellness Center in Plano last November. The stories, and actual filing, show you what Mental was referencing, i.e. Reviews have consequences, or at least, can become Exhibits in Legal Actions.

I can't believe I can see some of those referenced reviews still
