--- Quote from: Morituri on 14 Nov 2015, 19:14 ---Anyway, my point was that there is absolutely, positively NO WAY the cops don't know about the illegal fighting ring.

You can speculate all you want about why they're not making arrests.  My speculation is that the police and/or judicial, as usual where there are laws that are not vigorously enforced, are engaging in extortion.

--- End quote ---

Or the cops may just not be very interested because, as May points out, "It's only illegal for boring reasons. Nobody gets killed or anything." They may be more interested in stopping crimes that actually hurt people, like murder and robbery. Nobody gets big promotions for busting a business for not having insurance.

Is it cold in here?:
Actually, promotions are based partly on the number of arrests the officer makes.

Storel:
But do they arrest people for not having insurance? If you don't have car insurance, they just suspend your driver's license until you get some insurance. If a business doesn't have some required insurance, I'd assume they'd just close the business until the insurance was obtained.

Is it cold in here?:
If the fight club doesn't have a business license then official responses could range all the way up to the Santa Ana marijuana shop raid.

Kugai:
As I've said before, it may be that the Robot Fight Club is technically illegal, with the appropriate laws on the books, but it may be one of those activities that, while illegal, has a 'Blind Eye' turned towards it for various social reasons.

Undoubtedly, law enforcement will, on occasion, move in to to a raid or two, but I would suspect that that's more a PR Exercise just to keep the anal retentives happy, and unless something really serious is going on, it'll be more a case of 'Catch and Release' with a fine or a 30 day sentence kind of enforcement.
