Default Re: NYC poker: safety and legalization

I know some club owners won't report a robbery because they don't want the police to know of their location.

Your KNOW this? prove it. I dont think you can. Edgar went to jail for calling the police during an armed robbery, there is far more evidence that suggests club owners encourage police cooperation than any anecdotal evidence that suggests owners will ignore the safety of their patrons by not communicating with the police department after a robbery.

Seriously... blanket statements about something you guess is true only creates more problems. Sure its possible that there is a bad egg in the community, but the vast majority of operators have been on the level.

TT,

Please document one case where the operators of a poker room called the police after a robbery where no one was hurt.

Please note that it must be after the robbery. Calling the cops when your life is on the line doesn't mean squat.

It's intuitively obvious that illegal cash businesses don't call the police when they get robbed. You're the one who has to prove that the operators of illegal card rooms involve the police after the fact.

This is the issue with all the posts from the shooting thread comparing non-casino games with legally sanctioned games. You can't walk in any casino or casino area in the US withoug seeing a cop or licensed security guard. Illegal games don't have that.
