Bureau of Licensing shuts down The Vanilla Unicorn Published: 7th of January, 2019. In the late hours of the 5th of January the Los Santos City Government descended on the Vanilla Unicorn in Strawberry over licensing issues. The LSPD were called in to assist with the situation, which spurred tension between the establishment's staff and its legal representation against the LSPD. Los Santos City Government officials in attendance, led by Mayor Vincent Rockford (center background). An unidentified police officer is seen speaking to Leon French. Managing the Unicorn was Peta Fitzhugh, who provides her account of the night. Her staff of 7 were midway through a successful opening when the bartender informed her that a representative from the government had requested her attention. The representative identified himself as Leon French and stated the club lacked a liquor license as it had never applied for one, which Fitzhugh could “scarcely believe”. The conversation was broken up with sporadic comments from the Unicorn staff, French was “quick to hurry off” when questioned regarding the license itself. The situation was complicated as the current lease owner of the Unicorn, Holly Hatch, was not available at the time to provide the required information. The aforementioned government representatives later returned with the LSPD. Fitzhugh was informed by her staff members of their arrival. Fitzhugh contacted Cynthia Vasquez, a named partner of the Vasquez & Cross law firm. Unicorn staff were ordered to continue working in the meantime. Upon her arrival Vasquez requested that the government and police refer them to the law that states the government is able to enter a business and close it down. The request was refused. Fitzhugh elaborated: “we threw it on trespassing because we no longer wanted to welcome them in our fine establishment and told them to wait outside. Once the Mayor arrived we went to talk with him”. Incumbent Mayor Vincent Rockford was pitched the same questions, however according to Fitzhugh they were not answered. Arriving past 11PM on an Elgin Avenue crammed with vehicles, a verbal standoff between Vasquez and the police was underway. Vasquez questioned LSPD Lieutenant Hector Dimakos on the subject of lawful entry and the general legality surrounding private property. The tone was set with Vasquez responding to the LSPD's compliance demands with: “I’m only legally required to follow legal orders”. An LSPD Sergeant (far right) looks on from the entrance to the Vanilla Unicorn as Cynthia Vasquez (second from right) demands information from the LSPD. Peta Fitzhugh (center, in pink) also looks on. Vasquez’ questions of whether the LSPD present were aware of the laws they were enforcing on behalf of the government and if said laws were written at the time of the incident (referencing the Rule of Law) went unanswered. Dimakos claimed the staff were obstructing, to which the Unicorn’s staff and Vasquez reaffirmed that they were not and that the LSPD could walk past them. Cynthia Vasquez (far left) detained in handcuffs. Officer Macintosh stands to her left, with Lieutenant Dimakos reciting orders on the far right. Vasquez was initially assumed to be an owner or manager of the club. Upon asking for the reason for her detainment, she was dismissed and Dimakos promptly walked away. Officer MacIntosh, the detaining officer, was unable to explain the cause for the detainment and plainly stated he was following orders from his superior. Meanwhile a team of 3 LSPD officers led by Sergeant Harrelson breached entry into the establishment by means of firing at the entrance door with an issued shotgun. This was implied to have happened without prior warning to those nearby, causing a member of staff to suffer an anxiety attack following the departure of the LSPD. A staff member also recorded the occurrence on their cell phone. City Official Spencer Jameson (far left) standing near his government colleagues. Captain Charles Hughes (center, in plainclothes) stands among his officers as their Scene Commander. Captain Charles Hughes eventually approached to clear up the issue; Vasquez had been detained for officer safety and interrupting “the flow of the crime scene”. Captain Hughes also had the following to say of the situation: “We were mandated by Mayor Rockford to close down this business, Miss Russo.” Spencer Jameson of the Department of Finance explained: “The scope of our authority as the Department of Finance is laid out in the City Charter. The business here registered [The Vanilla Unicorn] with the city government but never filed a request for a liquor license. It was elongated, seemingly deliberate violation of city code. We didn’t want an ordeal, we just wanted them to shut operations until they were properly licensed.” The City Charter is currently unavailable for unknown reasons. In the early hours of the 6th of January; The Los Santos Government made the Business Licensing & Municipal Accountability Act public knowledge. The Act details the Bureau's authority in Chapter II, Section 201. Warrants were allegedly filed for the night, however the staff at the Vanilla Unicorn claim they were not shown a warrant throughout the night. The warrant itself was allegedly approved by a judge to facilitate the seizure of the alcohol within, which was returned less than an hour later. The Vanilla Unicorn has since applied for a Liquor License. Staff at the Vanilla Unicorn boarding up their damaged entrance.

With the new roleplay script thing coming along soon, I wouldn't say this isn't impossible. You can map it with the same system as the 24/7 that's been teased yesterday and would provide more roleplay. Main thing would be getting admin approval and a step forward with it cause it's a sensitive issue. Got a feeling majority of the players would want to rob said business constantly just to get easy gun access, which can easily be prevented with rules. It would be neat to have, but should be up for debate from the administration side of view.

User: Guest#7465 Comment: Interesting how government personnel and their criminal security guards choose to be openly biased towards a company that has not wronged them, but just chose to use the law where the government ignored the law they're here to abide to and serve Los Santos with. Also very interesting that a figure high up in Weazel News would show color, being opinionated about a legal establishment in very strong wording, even though they regularly visited in the past. To the people of Los Santos: Rest assured, The Vanilla Unicorn is not shut down and is ready to open in the following days. We'll keep you posted!
