Last night at (about) 7:30 a cop zooms past me on Rt. 1 and cuts into the turn lane ahead of me and turns into the shopping center toward Silk Spa.
I had to get fuel, so I turned in to fuel-up at the Royal Farm and I see other cops turning in to the shopping center.
After I finish, I ride up and past the spa.
I see no activity; but around front there are about six cop cars.
I noticed two officers inthe pizza joint, but that is all.
I wonder if they are ramping up visibility to discourage people from going to the spa. (Or, am I thinking too much?)
Probably thinking to much. They were probably eating.
LE is not in the detering spa visits business, in Howard County they only visit when told to, they either get a complaint, or it is scheduled, or the licensing agency wants them to come along. They have much bigger crimes that their presence can deter.
Your thinking too much. Problem is with the Extended Stay across the parking lot. I get off work late nite to early AM, have seen cop cars in parking lot at least 3 times over the past 2-3 weeks. I would not worry
I have often found LE hanging outside hotels in my travels and I have discovered that they are "barrowing" the internet from hotels, starbucks etc. They want to surf somewhere that they can NOT surf on the county/state provided service.
I actually asked a good friend of mine here who is a police officer, why they all seemed to park at the hotels and that was the answer I was given. They want be on Facebook, personal email, or porn sites, so they piggyback the free internet.
