Sorry guys, ran out of K's to dole out - AGAIN!!@$@$!! - will do so when I get recharged.
But yes, Police raids are always a very hot button topic on our board as it does affect all of us very directly don't it? And thus ANY and ALL information/heads-ups abut these are very much appreciated by everybody.
Anyway, as regards to your specific question as to if it's of any consequence to us bros or not - well...the application of the Hong Kong laws in regards to prostitution do shift from time to time. Please note that this is STRICTLY IMHO and I'm actually NOT in any way qualified to legally comment on such - just my own observations.
Prostitution per se is NOT illegal in Hong Kong - but its the ancillary laws and practices in regards to such that is of MY primary concern; after all, I do remember my uncle telling me that in the bad old days, punters DID have the risk of being hauled off to the police station when found with prostitutes to "assist their investigations" and that such punter would need to get a relative to "accompany him" out of the station PRIOR to him being released!! Yup- - that REALLY was the practice in the old days....and how it brought the fear of God in many a fine punter of days of yorne....whilst Hong Kong's laws on prostitution per se has NOT changed at all through all this time!
At present state of play, just so long as one is civil and truthful - and to a large extent cooperative - with the LE, then there really is NOT that much to worry about; and yes, for the most part such raids only occur to round up illegal workers, over-stayers and even drugs/theft etc if found. And yes, it IS the gals themselves - and more so, their organizers/controllers/Pimps - that the Hong Kong LE targets during these raids.
Just totally IMHO please note again.
