April 1st By-law intel central clearing house

[Lalallala]

Anyone actually go to EBC or RH spas today? I was going to visit but the lady I like at BU was booked for 2 hours and the one I was hoping to see at SL took her scheduled day off.

So can we infer that no by-law visits today to any spas?

I guess instead of BU, you can see her at HH tomorrow

It is paranoia to avoid the spas. You are free to avoid it with your own tolerance level, but don’t say that LE is targeting customers since there’s no evidence to support that.

I never said LE is targeting customers. They are targeting the spas by going in and talking to the receptionist/owners/workers.

If you, as a customer are ok getting caught in the middle of this because you are too lazy to drive 10 minutes to a neighboring city to get your ding dong touched then go ahead.

Again, what is the actual risk?

Worst case scenario? You piss off the wrong bylaw officer and they make an example out of you for breaking C-36

Probable case? You get questioned and their vehicles draw a crowd. Your aunt who is lining up for BBQ duck across the street is part of the crowd and asks why they were questioning you.

Caught in the middle of what? Suppose a restaurant is getting inspected while you are there? The exact same by-law officers doing similar work.

The aim is to get intel here. If you are risk averse, then go elsewhere. As Lalalla says what is the risk?

By-law officers cannot charge you under the criminal code. Again, if you don't have any idea what you are talking about, you are not adding to the conversation.

Starting this thread for members to post any updates regarding by-law issues or visits to RH spas from April 1, onwards. Especially encouraged are any actual sightings of by-law officers or other signs of enforcement.

The aim is to offer as accurate and timely as possible intel for those who are concerned about the situation at the spas they visit. Promoters, owners and members are all invited to share any information that will help spa patrons decide how to respond to the expected changes, and decide based on the best information how to proceed in their own hobbying visits.

Everyone has different tolerances regarding risks in this hobby, so I hope by sharing any intel those of us who plan on continuing to hobby and support our local shops in this industry can have a central thread for sharing. The Lavender thread is gone thread has been useful leading up to tomorrow, but I hope this will be an easy and more obvious thread to search.

Five charged, two as young as 16, following GTA spa robberies

What kind of argument is this? You basically have nothing and grasping at straws. I guess that’s why you are using a throwaway account.

This train is about to go off the rails!

Heard rumours that an LE team composed of 8 departments, including police and CRA, visited a spa in Mississauga recently (So, outside RH does not mean completely free of troubles) . However, LE did not cause any problem for clients and the spa business was as usual after the visit. It could be a random inspection case unrelated to RH. Additionally, I heard that LE will soon decide on licensing, but some individuals were told they would not receive a license for sure.

By law officers can escalate and you are committing a criminal act every time you pay these girls to touch your ding dong.

We commit criminal acts when we drive over the speed limit or back out of a drive way onto a road. Well, HTA violations anyways.

We have evidence of those things being prosecuted. Do you have any evidence of these crimes being prosecuted ?

 

[Keshi]

What, exactly, are customers avoiding? I guess I don’t get the avoidance over the minute chance of someone knocking on your door and asking you a couple of questions.

Personally would want to avoid exactly that. When hobbying I’m not exactly trying to draw attention to myself, just want to get in and get out. So the last thing I want is to be talking to bylaw officers or being seen stepping out of a spa with eyes everywhere, especially when I have friends/family that stop by EBC for non spa establishments

Yes, I understand that. But it’s not really a legal risk in any way…

When waze or google warns you about police officers up ahead its common sense to slow down or take a different route.

When there is proof of bylaw enforcement officers visiting spas that offer sexual services its common sense to avoid it or go somewhere else.

That’s really a false equivalence. The police officer enforcing the HTA can ticket you. Law enforcement has no qualms with the customer.

Again, what is the real risk here?

The risks have been posted above for everyone to see. Just cause they do not apply to you does not mean they do not apply for everybody.

The question is why do you continue to shill for these places when there are dozens of spas 15 minutes away. Do you work there?

Plainly - there is no actual legal risk, just whatever shame you carry for visiting these places. If you have that much shame then maybe you should spend these next few weeks to examine your values and motivations.

Let’s keep it civil guys. The above is all great conversation.

The fact is, everyone knows what these spas are, it’s a rub and tug and everyone from their 80 year old grandma to a 16 year old kid will recognize this. With all the recent attention plus potential to bump into people you know, the fear is more of a social stigma than anything. To some, maybe they don’t care but this is on a whole spectrum so we have guys that do care, which makes threads like this helpful for the population as a whole, on MP at least.

Also what the fuck is it with the shill accusations? That’s pretty fucking weak, just like everything else you type.
