Why are Asian Massage Parlors always in public/shopping areas and do not get shut down immediately?
From what i’ve read about Asian Massage Parlor’s is that often, they offer sexual services for money. And i’ve also read about how the police goes after these places.
If that’s so, then why all the Asian Massage parlor’s in my city and other cities are in public areas with many shops around them, all out there in the open. Most people obviously know about them and know where they are. And they are usually open from 9am or something to late at night like 11 or 10 and the guys go in and out.
I don’t see police shutting down the place immediately when the store first starts business. If police cares so much about it, why do they let them be in business in the first place?

You have to prove something illegal is taking place before you can shut them down.
Otherwise, a city councilman could have the cops to shut down the competition to his own business on some made up charges.
Yeah, so what does it take to prove it? It’s kind of obvious, from tv documentaries and the fact that women don’t even go into these places. It’s always men and also…the places are always kind of dark, and seem closed.
Oh and also the women in these massages speak almost Zero english. I called around 5 massage parlors cause i was doing this investigation.. i just asked them if they’re open and how much.. and the Chinese girls barely spoke a few words of english. They couldn’t even tell me anything. they didn’t even understand me.
How can it be a legitimate massage place when the client wouldn’t even be able to have a conversation with the massage therapist.
I’m sure not every “Asian Massage Parlor” is a cover for prostitution. And, as @WestRiverrat says, there must be proof. Someone would need to complain, and then the police would probably have to send in an undercover officer to get the proof they’d need.
At first I read “Marriage Parlors” . Definitely confused me.
Who would complain anyways? The ones going are the men. and they like it. They’re not gonna complain. So you’re saying, just because there’s no complaint.. then it’s perfectly fine to have prostitution going on inside this place?
I personally don’t care, if men want to do it, let them. But i’m saying that police/politiicians etc keep making laws that make prostitution illegal.. then aren’t they contradicting themselves when they don’t do nothing to stop it when they know the places where it takes place(inside the parlor)?
Prostitution is commonly thought of as a victimless crime. Most police forces in this country are understaffed. Unless there are complaints, the cops are going to focus on murders, rape and robbery.
I am not saying it is right, but that is just the way it is for most cop shops.
A couple decades ago, police forces and cities decided to look the other way on these places, unless complaints or health issues arise, or if too many of them open up.
They reduce cruising and outdoor prostitution, which is a worse, more dangerous form of blight.
And the ones in shopping centers are oftentimes legitimate, with no sexual stuff going on.
