Many shops have had covid checks.

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.Quote:

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:Quote:

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.Quote:

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? :surprise:
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.Quote:

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’.Quote:

anyone noticing less girls working this past week? anytime has only 2-3 girls on odd days, SSDS girls not as willing with new clients as well, a few bad punts recently I must say...
I think they're finding harder to get girls. I know one shop told me that
...they had a visit last week. Not Covid or punting related, but enough to make them and girls nervous.Quote:

Isn’t that what the whole theme of this thread is about ??? A lot of the shops have had visits. Mostly just standard covid checking and some a lot more than that. Whether it’s A or B there is a lot of fear there atm. It’ll pass and the shops that have had specific issues will probably feature on this forum soon for a different reason than good/bad service.Quote:

tried a not so popular shop last week with a TW ml, actually had quite a nice session, safe and fun :D
From what I hear the decrease in staff at FG/AT isn't a result of the police visit. The owners fired staff.
I'm sure we're just the starting effects of the travel restrictions, alot of these girls TW, HK, KR were all working holiday visas, with no new ones coming in, and ones expiring over the course of the last 7 months...
