Pomona PD cracking down (2 Viewers)

Erich Wise said:
3 times in the last year I've heard of pomona PD (I will refrain from calling them pigs here so as not to deal with all the bs that is sure to follow) have raided homes and arrested/fined homeowners for "illegal casino operation" for home poker nights. Such BS. I could almost understand it if it was getting out of hand and there was like a mafia lead ring and money laundering was involved (of course at that point its in the FBI's jurisdiction) but we are talking small friendly home games.

Locally, we used to have a place called Kings on the outskirts. It was a full house rented to some players who turned it into a raked poker house. Sometimes would run a 100/200 cash game.

Had a chef that made a menu that changed daily.

It got busted one night and hit the news, a local DJ that did a FM morning show was playing, and some lawyers. The two individuals running it got destroyed, and the owner of the house got charged and the house taken because he was aware of the use.

It later came out a player lost his entire paycheck one evening, told his wife, and she decided to call the cops daily until it was shut down. Blew up big time.

We have 8-10 card houses going, but most have kept it a bit lower key and stakes since.

Serious question. Was it just called “King’s” and was on the outskirts? Or was it actually called “King’s On The Outskirts.”? Because that would be a fantastic name for a place

Just Kings. Because it was located off Kings Road.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who agree with you on some points. But starting off by calling cops pigs will alienate a lot of people right off the bat. Saying you don't care if an activity is legal will alienate even more.

Besides, this is a poker chip collector forum. If you were to post your complaint on an underground gambling forum, you might find your audience.

Agreed. I joke a lot but that’s super disrepectful.

This is fine, Im sure a lot of people disagree with me, im used to it. Are we supposed to keep any possible opinion that might hurt someones feelings to ourselves, I dont imagine so. Just as I imagine those who simp to cops wouldn't want to be run out of town either, lol. Now if you are suggesting I made faux pas in etiquette that I am unaware of thats one thing, but if the post was inappropriate to begin with then I would have thought that would have been said, very different things. After all we are all supposed to be grown ups with opinions, not like im running around the site flaming or trolling, just happen to disagree on a few things, imagine what else we disagree on! And yes, while I wasn't gong to go off of the cops and only gave a reference I absolutely hate the police, no apologies need to be given for this as its my opinion, you are free to years and so are other people. Ad hominem attacks on the internet oh my! doesn't bother me one bit. Now ive seen other posts about raids and whatnot, which is why I thought it might make sense to post it. It also wasn't a complaint however, though if it came off that way I cant imagine it maters much. Besides, what I have observed is there is plenty of room for people to say their opinion on all manner of topics, many of which I disagree with or find distasteful, but what would be the point of telling them to keep it to chip collecting and what not, none really. But then being on the autism spectrum does make it rather difficult to understand the rules nurotypical people operate under. If the post was or is "inappropriate" then a mod should delete it I would think, or can reach out and ask me to leave.

Replace “police” in your sentence with nearly any other group, and you would have hoards of people ready to burn down your house, loot a few stores, and parade in the streets. Yet, making such a statement about police is tolerated by so many, and cheered by some. The irony.
 
How would the cops know if a game is even raked or not? Like if youre hosting and coos come knocking and you say you arnt raking how could they possibly know?

Im super excited to see what number you dial when you need immediate help.

It can’t be 911, because you “absolutely hate” those guys. Do you have another avenue for assistance? I only ask because I want to save this number just for a backup. I wasn’t aware of any…

Thanks!
