Solicitation cases against Robert Kraft et al have been dropped because an appellate court ruled video of 'table showers' at Orchids of Asia in Jupiter FL was improperly obtained -> inadmissible.
Licenses should be required by LAW that all private 'massage' sessions are recorded
I don't necessarily mean top-down video recording where the participants are visible on-screen - it would be possible to monitor multiple aspects of sessions in other ways - participant positions + motion sensor arrays - think along the lines of anonymized kinect footage...
If someone visits a known trafficking establishment, saliva / volatile chem assays could be used to show presence and concentration of the relative proportion of biochemical markers that appear post-orgasm.
Hell, get some orgasm-sniffing dogs and park them outside the front door
At minimum, that should give enough probable cause to request access to monitoring data to help ensure those who frequent massage parlors for the "table showers" will be forced to testify under oath.
Yes - this is shorthand summary and I don't address nuance. It's big picture.
If an industry has problems, it's up to that industry to fulfill the conditions to mitigate or obviate those problems.
The cost of compliance is low; R&D could be funded by government research funds, and equipment/compliance could be provided as part of the licensure process.
But there is no reason why legitimate massage parlors and spas should be unwilling to follow a set of standards to clean up their industry, so long as they maintain the privacy of clients (at least the ones who aren't committing crimes.)
And - random fact - just because I have come across lots of weird shit in the past hour of research into post-orgasm biochemistry:
the use of feigned “grassroots” action to weaponize disasters or other instances of collective human suffering via amplification of inauthentic, polarizing messages fraudulently attributed to political opponents.
Disastroturfing is primarily initiated and sponsored by politically motivated entities, primarily aimed at deepening political divisions and enhancing partisanship -
the misrepresented ideology drives the 'otherization' of the target group by a mechanism that ultimately may instill fear in the targeted audience: 'others' may seem to pose an existential threat to one's own safety and security, should similar events arise domestically...
It's kind of weird that I haven't heard smart people like @AWeissmann_ et al focusing on how Trump defaulted on $640M in debt to Deutsche bank, THEN submitted fraudulent statements to secure future loans.
of course, maybe I just haven't heard it discussed...
but that - but with Deutsche execs having vowing to never lend to him again - that seems a more significant motivation to falsify statements than simply lower interest rates.
Just lost my thread about I-95 in Philly, so I'll just share these images while I decide if I should write it up again.
Something smelled off, especially because of Higgins' advice to "Know your bridges" two days prior...so I poked around and found even more stink...
familiar?
Yup. The I-95 crash was about two blocks from THAT crematorium and adult bookstore-adjacent Four Seasons Total Landscapingwhere Rudy Giuliani held his press conference in 2020.
That being said, I'm not questioning the driver.
I'm wondering what TK Transport was doing transporting 8500 gallons of fuel on the interstate when they apparently have no active licensing or insurance with the government....
When I heard female gunman at a private school, this is what that made me think I'd find.
Not to justify, whatsoever... but would be an interesting track for any interested journalists to pursue - racketeering to protect leaders sexually abusing children. casetext.com/case/davis-v-c…
