AP club just got busted

Questions for someone there.

Did they ever publically use the term "serving a warrant"?

Were the officers wearing bp-vests and windbreakers with badges on chains around their necks or were they regular uniforms?

Did they take poloroids of the players?

My friend said that one of the officers told him that it's not a formal charge/citation, but it is for a database where they will know that we were stopped for being in a card room.

Does anyone know what the dealers were charged with?

The only thing thing I imagine they could be charged with is Promoting Gambling in the 2nd degree which is a misdemeanor.

Anybody who is considering becoming a dealer in a legal establishment anywhere should stay clear of dealing in these clubs. A conviction of a gambling offense will likely disqualify you from gaming license in other jurisdictions.

hey take you outside for questioning and ask "who was dealing at the table?". What do you tell them?

If you actually feel like saying anything at all . . "I don't know" is not likely to hurt anyone.

No need to imagine, the actual charges are listed above.

Additionally there are no restrictions in either NJ or LV gaming laws where misdemeanors prevent you from obtaining a license, only felony convictions. Also the reception of an ACD makes it a moot point since the dealers are left with no criminal record after 6 months.

Actaully in Nevada Felonies OR GAMBLING CONVICTIONS may prevent you from obtaining a license.

Also in the statute below you will see that conviction of what Nevada call a gross misdemeanor is a disqualification. It appears to me that what Nevada calls a Gross Misdemeanor is what NY calls a Class A Misdemanor (of which PG2nd is a Class A Misdemeanor.)

Furthermore the offense of Promoting Gambling in 2nd degree as it exists in NY would actually constitute a Felony in Nevada and is thus a basis for disqualification

Yes. This question is more important to the existing owners than many may think. It helps them know what department/team is executing each raid.

Interesting. I do know a dealer who was in the Mayfair raid and arrested/convicted who holds NJ,LV, and Miss. licences.

if he got an ACD it is not a conviction. But if you want to deal somewhere leaglly I would not take the chance.

The previous nyc raids (PS NYPC BW) have all been carried out with warrants by the vice squad.

This one sounds fishy like the BPC raid.
