What does 141 mean? And did I see the term 161 used somewhere?
One floor one is a Common Law loop hole, thanks to the Queen's England rule on Sex and Pleasure.
It means that when one woman and one man inside a flat or unit or room doing the sex pleasure, it is no business for the law and the law enforcement officals to interfere, even when there is an exchange of money.
As long as it is two persons over 18 and with consent.
The Hongkong 141 evolved in many years to have flat sub-divided to smaller unit of a room and a bath. Girls are operated as one girl brothel. And usually there is no agent. The girls are independents.
In the old day, they placed their ads in newspaper and magazine or put a "yellow box" at the street entrance, in the red light district of Portland Street MK. Sometimes the police will visit these brothel to pick up undocumented workers, but all in all they cannot charge them of any wrong doing under the Common Law. Occasionally they will demolish the light fixtures because too many of them affect the appearence of the neighborhood.
Becoz of the precedence nature of Common Law, it is legally not at fault to be caught having sex in these brothel unless the girl is underage.
