Yeah, NYC cardrooms raided again
I wish I had something insightful to add here. A little disappointed. I'm assuming the 5-0 is already on the poker payroll but I guess that isn't enough for 'em. Last night (and I only thought they came on Tues and Thurs) they shut down 2 places.
They took everyones photos and wrote down their info. Does anyone know why they do this? |

Re: Yeah, NYC cardrooms raided again
I'm getting pretty sick of it. That's 2x this month. Though, I guess its not like we're consenting adults or anything playing a harmless card game. But I guess the police have already dealt with all dangerous crime in NYC and now need something with which to occupy themselves. Thank God for the NYPD so I can sleep sound at night with my door unlocked and no bars on my window.

[/ QUOTE ] It has much more to do with polititians than the actual cops, they are just doing what they're told. Obviously I wish gambling was legal everywhere and the thought of cops bursting into some place and shutting it down sickens me. Just saying that perhaps your anger is somewhat misplaced. Ulitimately the laws are going to have to change to prevent crap like this from happening. Punishing people for playing poker is a travesty and we need policy/law makers to do something about it, not cops. |

Re: Yeah, NYC cardrooms raided again
What would the problem be with naming names, the places are done, the info can't hurt to be out there now. Besides, if this post is based on any reliable information provided to us in the media, we will have access anyway. Links anyone?
As far as the reasons they get shut down, pretty simple. It's against the law, and police cannot skirt the law simply because the people breaking it feel "their" crime isn't really all that bad. Apply this logic, and no one would ever be arrested for anything. It's not a question of money or politics etc, it's a question of places operating illegally, very out in the open, and something being done about it. |

[/ QUOTE ] If its in the media then its fair game here, until then disclosing information about the raid/location is not allowed on 2+2 for the safety and security of the forum members who play there. PS: on the bright side I usually get a text message from the management when the raid shuts down the operation, I didn't get one last night. In the past that has meant it will be business as usual soon enough, there is a major difference between a visit and a raid. |

Which places got shut down? (Obviously don't name names, just general locations...) [/ QUOTE ] Anyone who discloses this on 2+2 will feel the wrath of the B&M moderators, your not allowed to disclose this here - please read the forum FAQ. |
