Legal Question in Criminal Law in District of Columbia
soliciting video at parlor
My brother went to a massage parlor
that was raided by feds and D.C. police.
He is convinced that he was videotaped
by the parlor once and saw video tapes
stacked in a room. Can he be charged
if the police identify him on one of
those tapes?

Re: soliciting video at parlor
Merely being videotaped at the massage parlor would not be sufficient for the police to bring charges; the subject would have to have been videotaped engaging in activity that was clearly against the law.
Furthermore, the cops by now have probably accomplished their purpose by the raid, i.e., which was very likely to shut the parlor down rather than prosecute people who may have patronized it sometime in the past.
