Notes -
I stumbled across some old annual reports from the Pittsburgh Police and when they listed the arrests by crime there were a few old-timey ones that aren't immediately apparent,. particularly ones involving various types of house of ill fame or loose ethics. See how many of these you can get:
AAB-FAB
RS Goods
VUFA
KA House
CP
Pandering
VA House
KD House
VD House
KG House
VG House
Alright, the weekend is over, so for the vanishingly small number of people — @curious_straight_ca, @DoctorMonarch, @sarker — who expressed interest, here are the answers:
AAB-FAB: Aggravated Assault & Battery / Felony Assault & Battery
RS Goods: Receiving Stolen Goods
VUFA: Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act (this is still police lingo for an illegal weapons violation)
KA House: Keeping an Assignation House (Brothel or no-tell motel)
CP: Common Prostitute
Pandering: Would probably be categorized as "promoting prostitution" under current law.
VA House: Visiting an assignation house
KD House: Keeping a disorderly house. This is still on the books, though this is usually a municipal ordinance rather than a state-level criminal offense. College towns will use these to put pressure on students who frequently throw loud parties, and urban areas will use them to cite owners of crack houses and the like. Nuisance bar laws are closely related. Basically, being in control of any building with excessive police calls for things like noise, fighting, drug use, or other things that make it a public nuisance will make you liable for this.
VD House: Visiting a disorderly house. These days, when the cops break up a party for noise and arrest everyone inside, this is what they get charged with if they don't have grounds for an underage drinking charge. Not commonly charged.
KG House: Keeping a gaming house.
VG House: Visiting a gaming house.
Yeah, getting hit with a VD is a natural fear at plenty of college parties.
And I can’t wait to accuse other posters of promoting prostitution!

Aside from CP- obviously Cheese Pizza/Captain Picard- only guess is for Resale Stolen Goods.
CP isn't what you probably think it is.
