Kim's Video Invaded By The 5-0
From a tipster:
kim's video on saint marks (possibly one of the most venerable independent video/music retail/rental stores in the country) was raided by the cops (or maybe even the feds!) yesterday. they confiscated computers and arrested all employees on the ground floor. apparently, the authorities seized all store computers to determine what pirated material was floating around (not much/any - as far as i can tell). the owner, the eponymous mr. kim was not at the store at the time, but was really pissed the cops didn't arrest him instead of his employees.
(i learned this when i tried to rent a dvd later that night, and the clerk told me there was no computer to look up titles for me
The person who answered the phone at Kim's Video in St. Mark's a little bit ago confirms that the office was raided by "feds, cops, everybody" about 2 p.m. yesterday. Phone Dude wouldn't say why they were there, but that they "found what they were looking for."—WL
