Massage gals rush to dress as cops charge in
By CP

RICHMOND, B.C. -- Two women at a Richmond massage parlour fell afoul of regulations last week and were cited for "inappropriate attire" by a city bylaw official.

The fines stemmed from a series of inspections conducted at seven massage parlours Thursday night by the bylaw official, nine police officers, a Canada Immigration officer and a city fire inspector.

The visits were triggered by police suspicions that the parlours were fronts for prostitution and organized gang activity.

While no sex acts were uncovered, there were multiple bylaw and fire-code infractions, a good many speedy departures - and some hurried efforts to don clothing.

A police news release revealed some of the details.

"In their rush to appear 'normal,' two men jumped into the same shower and the females entered the same washroom to get dressed," said the release from RCMP Cpl. Peter Thiessen.

The release describes a short skirt being "askew" and a set of female underwear worn inside out.

"When this shortcoming was brought to their attention, the females were very embarrassed and admitted that they were in a "hurry," said the release.

"All the employees were dressed misappropriately, with two females receiving fines for their attire."

Thiessen couldn't say why the attire was unsuitable, but "there are certain regulations they have to meet under the bylaw in regards to this business."

Thiessen said the officers found examples at other massage parlours of warning lights, tales of hurried departure and, in one case after a search, absent female underwear.

At one parlour, a known gang member was found.

Thiessen said that on Oct. 28, two Korean women linked to employment at the Holiday Body Care on Minoru Boulevard were intercepted by Canada Immigration officers at Vancouver airport and were to be flown to Seoul.

The inspections were not accompanied by search warrants.

Last year, Richmond had 23 massage parlours compared to 14 now.

Thiessen attributes the closure of three to the RCMP's "proactive enforcement approach."

I didn't know there was a bylaw stating that one has to wear underwear. I guess my commando days are over in Vancouver

My questions are how did police know women were wearing their underwear inside out or none at all and what the fuck are they going to do about it. It seems pretty damn inappropriate for them to be checking their underwear. This tactic seems more like something done to harass and humiliate the women rather than legitimate police work.

All that trouble to uncover some bylaw and fire code violations, so I guess the scumbags had to tell something to the media to make the story more salacious.

anywhere the massage is
Richmond RCMP dont have much to do, we all heard about all the new toys and gadgets they wasted $250 000 of our tax dollars on to catch street racers and speeders. this during the summer. has there been any arrests or anything come out of it since then? no because it was just a waste of money to scare people and they used to media to blow it up. point being they dont have anything better to do than to waste tax dollars and haras people.

they should be out catching drug dealers and real crime. but what can u do? mps need to smarten up and dress incognito then they wouldnt have such a problem. or even have a uniform like more the the spas that dont offer any extras have. but i suppose they havent thought of that yet

RIGHT NOW

If you're interested in public opinion, and can listen right now (1245pst), check out am 980 or cknw.com (listen live).

The subject is the massage parlour world in the Vancouver area.

It's probably a 15-20 minute segment.

Too late....

Segment's over.

If you missed it, numerous calls came in on the subject. As can be expected, comments ranged from enlightened and progressive to completely repressive and puritanical. IMHO, of course.

If you're really interested, the website has an "Audio Vault", whereby you can listen to what has been broadcast in recent days. So you could get an "instant replay", so to speak.
