The Maquinita wars, once again the MDPD get it right...

It seems like the ongoing battle with the ever present illegal gaming machines (aka maquinitas) was all but forgotten from Miami's landscape then lo and behold last night we came across this...

Once again it looks like Miami Dade County Police did a kick ass job of busting an illegal gaming establishment which is in stark contrast to how the police over in the City of Miami handle these machines and their owners...

County cops arrested the 76 year Santiago Acosta who owns the market where the machines were located and charged him with several charges relating to the ownership and operation of these machines.  Mr Acosta is still in jail as of this morning awaiting bail.

Congrats to the folks over at the MDPD for a job well done, nothing to worry about over at the City of Miami though as these machines are perfectly legal!
