Again, I saved 2 just two or three one one complaints and the the last group that came in, they identified an additional 161 locations.
1:43:44
So there may be new shops.
1:43:45
There may people that moved from one location because we sealed it and and rerented another location and changed their name.
1:43:52
So I think there's gonna be as many people who are creative in breaking the law, they're gonna try to find another way of operating.
1:43:58
And that's why it's imperative that we stay vigilant.
1:44:00
And the community's partnership is is a big part of our being able to be effective.
