Has anyone ever heard of Uncle Leo infiltrating a M&G? What legal ramifications exist if any? Recent busts in ATL and Seattle really have me thinking?
It's a group of like-minded individuals having a gathering. Nobody is doing anything illegal. I don't see them having any chance of charging anybody with anything just for being at a private event.
about six years ago a competing review site was infiltrated and their Xmas party led to the arrest of several members also leading to the site being shut down, it was resurrected under a new name that sounds sort of "icky" and is the dominant board in most of the mid continent region.
What LE "accomplished" here in San Diego was putting faces to "names". Apparently it was helpful when later arresting the two guys running the local advertising/review site.
In Pheonix, both female and male undercovers have attended M&G's and were solicited and made arrests later. The most famous was the Desert Diva's bust years ago where the M&G's were a part of the investigation and many guys and gals were arrested.
There is nothing wrong with M&G's as long as you don't try and make any "deals" for sexual conduct or promote it in any way. Just promoting is a felony in Arizona.
Whatever you do, don't drive your own car to a M&G. If LE there, they will photograph you when you get into your car to leave and your license plate. Cab it or Uber or park a mile away.
