the Jade raid took 9 months of investigation, according to one article, it's not about frequency, it's about gathering enough evidence. timing is coincidental. and your statement is like saying it is safest to fly just after a plane crash.. those are independent events with no mathematical relationship

so true. that section of NW Highway is a virtual ghost town already.. kill the Spas, and you might as well cede the land to Irving.

Spas are most likely raided for political and financial purposes.

Politically, the busts are highly visible. The cops get to bust a "ring", with multiple raids and multiple arrests. The media gets to use the term "trafficking". The politicians and officials get to hold press conferences.

Financially, the agencies involved split the haul. All the properties siezed are sold and the money from the sales are added to the cash siezed. DPD splits it with any agencies assisting. So, $370K + homes, businesses, cars, jewelry, equipment, etc., just from this one.

Why spend huge resources trying to bust SWs, who have nothing, when they can make a haul like that, with less manpower?

I submitted a news tip story on the price gauging ploys at this establishment. Why the heck am I paying for high price water and this Dragon House restaurant (temporary closed) is giving it out for free.

They told me the water was flown in from Hawaii. It worked wonders for my blood pressure

Man, how dare they insinuate girls is working at Jade. Pack of Liars! They acting like nobody know what Jade is. Most people I know think most every damn nail salon, and that knockouts hair cut place does handjobs and all the suburb massage shops! Hidden in plain sight, my ass! Police know Jade for 15 years, they the best customers

[FunMonday]

HJ’s at KnockOuts? Come to think of it I need a haircut.

Do you think the cops really care about that? The money they confiscated from Jade is probably 10 years worth of property taxes.

[Mental AtrraXXXion]

The conspiracy theorists are out in full force. I would love to see some hard evidence to back up these claims.

traffic ? most girls are happy to be there, they are scared when the cop show up so they will lost their job and lost $$

[riskyrick83]

Mehh..I wasn't so surprised it will get raided. The location is not as discreet as others.It's right next to a restaurant business (Rodeo Goat or something). It's right in front of the upper class residential area.

[ProfessorXavier]

I have more questions even after reading the articles. No one isn’t commenting much on yelp about the off the menu options at Dragon House.

[Thaiman]

I think they tell the girls they are here to help them. So they will turn on the owners and play the victims so they dont get in trouble

[heejoman2]

Curious who (AMP names) were the victims held against their will. Another words, was there any clear signs from them and whether if we could've done anything to help them.

[TX_hammer]

this kind of business are all over the world, Russia, china , india , Romania ,France England………….THey should make it legal and do health screening and tax providers like in las vegas, Canada

Those slum lords on NW hwy are charging north of $15k per month on those shacks as as way of getting a piece of the action.
The girls end up paying a chunk of it. They are next!

Why is the answer always legalize and THEN Tax. Just legalize...
