This year Jacksonville shut down several illegal internet gaming cafés or adult arcades, which promote illegal gambling. It is not all that surprising that where there is money to be made, there are people willing to break the law to get it. Yes, criminals — by definition — will find ways to circumvent and break the law. This fact, however, does not justify throwing our hands up and giving in to lobbyists' demands to legalize adult arcades. To be clear, what it does justify is the complete and full support of the public for our law enforcement officers who continue to identify and shut down these illegal businesses.
