NOT GOOD !

 

[SkillBill69]

Including 5 other locations in Dauphin and York counties. Anyone know what the locations were?

 

[RamDriver]

Lisa’s Spa York was one

The women working these spas are in their 40’s to 60’s. Human trafficking??? I think not!

This is horrible news, both for us and for these poor women. What a bunch of nonsense!

There was only 1 arrest made, Min Dong, or as most of us know her as May, she was around a long time, anyone in the game knows her. The article says the police were responding to complaints from people in the area, I think they got a tip from her competition, I know she pissed of other owners.

Here is an article with a little more in depth information as well as a photograph of Min Dong.

It seems like a good time to lay low for a while.

With more violent crime all around us and few arrests being made you’d think LEO would exert more resources on that rather than a lowly AMP that bothers nobody!!

☑️ “investigators said. "We are watching you come and go from these establishments, and we know who you are.”

If they have been watching me for a year, I don't see what I have to lose by continuing to go to the spas I've been going to. The chance of me being there at the exact moment of a raid is pretty tiny.

Nothing wrong with going into a licensed establishment for a massage.
Can’t arrest you for that!
All they can do is maybe harass you into saying something incriminating.
Again these LEOs can only go after low hanging fruits while the real violent crimes go unpunished.

I know Eva had left a few weeks ago. I don’t know if she got wind that someone was going to happen. I’ve never been to the one on Gettysburg Pike in Upper Allen, and that’s because it’s near the police station. Never been to Jojo’s as I have seen mixed reviews. Just sucks that Eva’s place was hit.

 

[Armyguy1265]

Something was going to happen*

 

[Mjones112]

Do we know anything about the other 5 places that were mentioned in the article?

Yep, and nice published admission that they are running plates and doing checks without probable cause bc they just built their case now, so looks like they admittedly aren’t above violating any search and seizure constitutional rights. There’s some nicely printed admission of liability.

There is no probable cause issue with running plates, what search and seizure violations are you referring to?

This article has quite a bit more detail on the Federal, State, and Local Agencies efforts to work with multiple community organizations.
