25's story about the raid lookout got me thinking. In all my years of clubbing, I've only once been in a club when it was raided, by guys in uniform with automatic weapons. I was with a US army captain who seemed to know the raiders, and they left us alone. It was scary and creepy and I didn't visit another club for six months. That's my story, what's yours?

It was at the infamous Memphis Platinum Plus about 10 years ago. I saw them come in. There were 4 of them dressed like bikers. They made a very rapid sweep of the main room and then headed straight to the semi private lap dance room.
It was only after the DJ made the announcement that the lap dance room was closed until further notice and that drinks were now buy one, get one free, that I realized that a bust was in progress.
There was a long curtain that could separate the lap dance room from the main room and they pulled it closed. The lap dance was closed for 1 hour and 15 minutes. A lot of guys left, thinking that that was the end of the nights fun. I was from out of town and really had no where else to go. So I stayed. There were about 50 dancers and customers in the lap dance room at the time and they all got citations.
After the cops left, it was business as usual. I hooked up with a spinner, went to the lap dance room and got my first ever BBBJ inside a strip club.
Could well be! LMAO
I was fearing a raid by LE and fidgeted nervously in my rock hard seat in that famously dreary VIP as I looked around with great apprehension. Turned out to be the manager making his regular turn through the VIP with flashlight, dustpan, and broom sweeping up discarded condoms! Cannonball had once had a Health Dept. bust over that issue and cautious manager didn't want another one!
Closest I have ever been to a raid in a SC.
(For those of you guys contemplating a visit to the Cannonball, the 5:00PM-6:00PM hour seems to be prime time for this condom disposal foray.)
I'm with alucard, I've never seen it happen....Stiletto, it really sucks that you've had to deal with it. But may that recent luck continue, and the fucking raids just cease and desist altogether....
Didn't think much about it until I saw, in an online version of that town's paper, a story about a police raid at the club the same day I was there. The story listed several charges including, underage drinking, one South American dancer without papers and somebody in possession of a small amount of pot BUT no soliciting or prostitution charges. I am sure that the creep was a cop, and the lack of girls arrested was exactly because he was creepy!
I'm just happy I wasn't there when he gave up and called in the rest of the vice guys.
Trust your instincts!
Cop shuts up.
Only raid I've experienced was a church-raid, a bunch of females (who looked ugly by the way) raided the club giving out "think better of yourself" cards & roses to everybody.
Were there any Lightening Bolts raining down?
Another time, the same manager approached me as I came in and suggested that I wait a while before getting any dances. There were undercover cops in the club. She knew just who they were, where they were sitting, and she said she'd let me know when they left. About 40 min. later she told me it was okay now. I really appreciated that.
I'll bet you appreciated that! That's looking out for your customers.
But what a waste of public funds; we should legalize most of the action
