So, here's a possibility... even in Mississippi.... "Sweeps month" happens in February, May and November. TV ratings acquired then determine how much local TV stations and National networks determine their ad rates for the next several months. They LOVE investigative reporting, there are Emmys for it. So, perhaps it would be possible to have a chat with the "on your side" or consumer protection person at your local station and see if they'd be interested in a story about police & state regulators turning a blind eye to prostitution. You need to contact them now for a February story. It could be particularly juicy if they find out a local official or the police chief is on the take. I'm not saying this would be easy, but getting the story on the news might prod the officials into actually doing their jobs.
Just a thought....

Very good idea. College has a Criminal Justice program as well. Its Director is an aggressive hater of crime. Tried to interest her in the school doing an investigation as public service. But Corporate is afraid of the negative publicity. I'll try your idea, see what happens.

I have my own opinions why they do this. When the police raid a business, they seize all the money at the establishment as part of there investigation. Good luck getting it back, even if your proved innocent of any wrong doing. While the police don't actually use the money to line there own pockets, they can claim it as seized assets and use it to buy new police equipment or to justify overtime. This is why when you see these highly publicized busts on an Asian Massage Parlor (AMP) there are several different agencies involved. It's not an issue of police safety, when's the last time you read that an AMP had a shoot out with police during a raid? Or any weapons seized, EVER. The reason is each agency wants a cut of the seized money assets, period. While I can certainly agree that something probably illegal is happening at these places, I really don't feel comfortable with the police seizing all the money and not returning it. The potential for abuse is too great to ignore something like this.

Unfortunately something like this is Very difficult to prove. While they are charged, very few people are actually convicted unless the police run an undercover investigation to prove it. This is why a week after a place is raided, it's open for business again. The main motivation police raid these places is either A. To seize money for the Police departments use or B. To use it as an election ploy by politicians to claim they are tough on crime.

here is MS, there hasn't been a raid of these things in 20 years, and in this small community, there's 4 of them
