A Little Pat of Butter and Some Cherry Syrup On Top
So Suffolk County, New York, finally got their woman. According to this
New York Post story, the alleged madam ran a chain of massage parlors, and now they're throwing the encyclepedias at her. In addition to two counts of promoting prostitution, she got:
Clifford said Kim, who had herself been busted twice for prostitution, was charged with money laundering because she would invest her ill-gotten gains back into her massage parlors.
What, nothing else? Didn't she stub out a cigarette on the sidewalk and get some hazardous waste or attempted arson charge?
Quick, someone call a legislator who needs to
get tough on crime! We need someone brave enough to realize that if
spending illicit proceeds on illegal activity is good to tack onto other charges, our prosecutors need more pancakes to stack on top, such as the following"
- Getting money through illegal activity.
- Spending money made through illegal activity.
- Laying waste your powers with illegal activity.
- Having stuff bought with money made illegally.
- Using stuff bought with money made illegally.
- Eating food bought with money made illegally.
- Having money that was once earned illegally.
Because remember, the
prosecution engineers DAs will only use these creative
railroading charging techniques to hound the
bad people.
