Or business as usual, with a future court date.

I’m curious as to what the side hustle could be, I fear I’m missing out on something! Was a regular at SSDS for a few years now I’m on the northside so found a place same same but different
So "Police bust" (scary)becomes Police visit ( minor scary) becomes next day carry on as usual (who cares) .... trying to sell newspapers are we?
Hands up ...how many of the posters on here have been caught in a Police "raid" ....wow that many.......and how many have gone to court and been charged.....wow that many.
I've often said if you are not prepared to move in the circles and circumstances with its inherent dangers and repercussions go back to the Creche.

Many shops have had covid checks.
Some shops are more targeted outside this than others
You’ve all been told is has nothing to do with covid I’m not sure why this convo is still happening. One dude here posted a vague post and no ones even commented...
Hers was a little different. She got caught up with a high profile corrupt politician whose dealings and dodgy actions caught her in the net.
You mean the one above?
It is a fact that at least 6 shops I know of have had “random” covid checks this week.
SSDS on the other hand has several issues it could be.
It was a standard visit informing the owner of what is and isn't legal. All the popular shops have had the same random visit from time to time. This was was prompted after the shop was caught breaching COVID19 rules.
Posters referring to anything else are just talking out of their ass.
It's not what you think since it involved a tweeker. From what I was told they were asking if a particular individual had visited a shop. A few reasons why I don't think this particular incident was related to COVID:
1. Contact tracing information is performed by public health officers
2. The shop required that customers wore their underwear and put a towel over their lower body during the massage. Weird thing to do if it was just related to a Covid visit.
2. The ML definitely seemed spooked by the whole thing and was reluctant to do more then the basic option (I assumed because they could quickly cover up to make it seem innocuous).
I could possibly be coming to the incorrect conclusion so take it for what it's worth. Just don't be surprised if you find a certain level of disappointment from some shops for now.
The last confirmed bust I know about was back in april or march, this year. no punters got done and the owners had to pay around a total of around 8k in fines (one paid 6600 and the other around 1400). Lutwyche. Those fines were of a Covid nature, so I dont know why someone said before that police presence has nothing to do with covid. Seems to me if the cops cant get the owners on prostitution charges, Covid charges are the next best thing. Before someone brings up the issue of "just a warning" I'm speaking to the issue involving the fear punters feel of themselves being busted.
Main reason I don't think it's primarily related to Covid was because, from what I was told, they were asking if a particular individual had visited their establishment. If this was related to Covid and they were trying to establish contact tracing then that would be done by a public health official and not the cops. My guess, and this is just my conjecture based on what I've been told, the cops were trying to catch someone in particular that might be involved in something fishy and the cops weren't really interested in busting people having a bit of "fun" behind the curtains. Once again this is pretty much conjecture but I don't think the cops were primarily concerned about covid breaches or massage related issues.
That may be true, but we know that police get better information if they have leverage in a situation.
They probably usually get “no speak english” or “just massage” etc up the wazoo when going to massage shops.
Most shops get scared shitless when the police arrive.
Using covid as a cover is perfect for poking around, intimidation and ultimately getting what they are after.
Be it pedo punters, drug activity or basically anything they are looking for.
So did they drag BW out kicking and screaming or what?
Honestly this wouldn't really surprise me. It would be an easy justification for them to sniff out any illegal activity in the name of the "greater good of the general public health" even though I question the efficacy of the police to be able recognize specific breaches of the Public Health Directions by businesses. I personally wouldn't really be concerned about them trying to bust people for having a bit of fun at these shops seeing as how it seems to be one of the worst kept secrets. IMO they seem to mainly go after a shop if there is some other majorly illegal activity going on or they are trying to avoid the taxman.
The “inspection and fine” is just how the licensing fees are collected now. No need for Jack the Bagman any longer. It can be all done in broad daylight.
I am confused now. You and Khe Sanh have previously stated BW, RD and others were under investigation and their arrests were imminent. Now you say they are down the list and ‘inevitably..., will be investigated’.
Of course I am confused as the story is changing. One minute BW, RD and others were about to be thrown in the klink and it was imminent, now the wheels of justice have ground to a halt it seems.
Maybe they’ve just temporarily changed tracks or maybe they’re waiting at the station while other wheels are blocking the path
