The Risks We Take

I am curious. In all honesty, what happens if the cops really did catch you with your pants down in the club?

In 20+ years I've never seen a cop within a mile of any club I've visited, much less having them burst in the door.

"I am curious. In all honesty, what happens if the cops really did catch you with your pants down in the club?"

You would most likely get arrested.

I was in the Memphis Platinum Plus about 12 years ago when it got raided. Fortunately I was not in the back room at the time. There were about 50 dancers and customers that were back there and they all received citations. 90 minutes after they left, I got my first ever ITC BBBJ.

I've seen cops in/around clubs 2-3 times before. I was walking up to one club (never visited before) and noticed several uniformed police also approaching the door. I turned around and left. More recently, I visited a club (where extras were known to be commonplace) while on travel and kept getting asked by dancers if I was law enforcement. One of them finally told me the place was raided two days earlier. Once I'd convinced them I was not law enforcement I kept getting propositioned for extras, which I didn't want. I just wanted to watch the stage show and have a beer.

1. Were you at a Hustler?

2. If I ever hear/read the phrase "park the beef bus in tuna town" I'm going to throw up.

Lol. I agree.

I have. When the City of Kalamazoo passed an anti-nudity ordinance, the cops regularly stopped in the nude Deja Vu to make sure the club was in compliance. Only lasted for several months though. I guess they found more important things to do.

.....like catching speeders on I-94 getting the hell of Kalamazoo to go to strip clubs in Detroit

When took down Rick's and co. in Seattle the only ones they went after were the owners. Customers were interviewed if they left credit card trails, but the only one who was threatened with any legal action, AFAIK, was a medium sized fish/CEO of a local tech startup. They had him for doing OTC with strippers. So how much you have to fear probably depends how big a media prize you would make. (Now, as we all know, we have our very own RICH STUD/JET SET CEO boy RickyBoyDugan here. I'm sure if he ever got caught it would be a NATIONAL SCANDAL, but he does seem quite diligent at covering his tracks so should be OK.)

Jump in front of the SWAT team? Are you that Chinese guy that blocked the tank at Tianamen Square?

Nignog?

Any half-way professional police force will only arrest for prostitution if there is an express contract for sex. That's why, when you get a premium dance, you just have to roll the dice and hope you're going to get whatever particular type of nasty you're hoping for, don't ask for specifics. If any sex act associated with a transfer of cash or goods is automatically prostitution, that would would include even the mercy driveway hand job after the nice dinner at Red Lobster.

A couple of clubs in Pittsburgh hire off duty cops to work as security to back up their bouncers on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm used to seeing cops at the door but not in the clubs.

Usually in the Detroit clubs, I've been in when the cops show up, the club has enough time to shut the VIP and the cops are just checking the dancer's entertainment licenses. I've heard of raids here where customers have been issued tickets.

Ibbaicnl - they don't send swat teams into clubs - they send twat teams. Escorts and dancers all over have told me that cops sample the wares frequently. Not an indictment of all LE but being a "victimless" crime it's usually not a high priority. IMO prostitution should be legalized and taxed. That would take care of the deficit.

Maybe they were looking for a particular person, found him, and left. I've seen that happen in civilian bars but not in strip clubs.

It is unnerving when unifomred cops come into a strip club while you're there, even if it isn't for a raid. I've only had two instances:

1. At the now-closed Honey's, in Everett, WA I was in the club one time when three cops came in, looking for a particular suspect they had reason to believe might be in the club at the time. He wasn't, but it interrupted business for a good thirty minutes. Dancers stopped giving dances during that time.

At the now closed Sahara Theatre in Industry, CA (since reopened as Deja Vu), I stopped counting after twenty cops came in. That was just to take away a dancer who had flipped out on drugs. She was conscious and could have cooperated, but didn't and wouldn't even get dressed, so the cops carried her out of the club, nude, into a waiting abulance. Most customers walked out during that scene.

1. I've also been in clubs when I was told undercover cops were in. Not easy to take.

I've missed 2 different raids by a few hours in my clubbing career. I'm not sure how they would react to finding me in a compromising position in VIP. It's not something that I actively worry about.

Having sex in the club will get you arrested or a citation if you are caught.

Bang away all you want, just be sure you keep an eye on your surroundings. And keep your pants high enough for a quick recovery.

I have seen cops outside of Tootsies in case there was trouble. I have seen a cop inside Bogart's talking to a bouncer. I have seen cops having dinner at the Penthouse club in dress blue uniforms.

In early March on my first visit to Players I saw a cop come into Players in uniform around 11 pm and later come back around midnight in street clothes when the bartender introduced me to him. He already had a beer so I thanked him for his years of service and went back to get some more dances from the ladies.

Most raids in strip clubs are for violations of one of two laws: Prostitution or Public Indecency (or whatever it is called in your state). Getting a VIP customer on a prostitution charge is hard because both the customer and dancer claim that the sex was consensual and not related to any payment. So the usual enforcement method is to use undercover cops and the 'raid' only occurs later and picks up the girls that the undercover officer made contact with. Customers are irrelevant.

Now if the customer is actually found with their pants down then a citation for Public Indecency might be possible depending on local laws and the physical layout of the club, but it is likely a long shot. In my state it requires a situation where there is not an expectation of privacy, somebody else who sees it, and that the somebody is offended.

There is also the possibility of violations of local business ordinances or liquor license rules. Again the target is the club, not the customers.

Per the Urban Dictionary...

Nig Nog

This phrase has absolutely no racial dimension, despite appearances. It is a Northern British (e.g. Yorkshire) term referring to a silly person. It does not derive from nigger and should not be considered racist at all.

Decades ago I was in a bar in Rocky Point Mexico. Place was hopping with about 300 people in it.

In walks a patrol from the Mexican army obviously looking for somebody. The place went from loud and rowdy to pin drop silent within about ten seconds. Cut the tension with a knife. They left after about 5 minutes later without incident. Rowdiness resumed soon after.

Not sure if they were recruiting or what.

OT but thought I'd share.

I've seen police in a club a few times. I even tipped a girl on stage in front of an officer. I noticed she kept her distance when two officers were standing a few feet behind me near the door. I was wondering if I ever hit things off with an undercover female officer. I got a female deputy to moan online ages ago when talking online via microphones was possible for free on one new site before it got shut down. You could make free long distance calls anywhere in the US and to Australia, Canada, and the UK. I've been asked if I was a cop a couple of times in a club where no one knew me. I miss the free Internet live voice chat. I liked hearing the girls accents in Australia, Canada and the UK. The UK girl was funny even asking if she knew me saying I sounded like one of her friends.

I always wondered what the female deputy who was moaning online in a moaning game looked like. That was when chat groups identified themselves by who they were, one group was off duty law enforcement I thought at least, another group was a group of hackers, other groups were as labeled. Some were good hackers, some were bad hackers. At least there aren't any police calling our house asking to speak to my brother. They wanted to get him for no good reason. Small town police can act like they know who are the troublemakers if one or two old ladies keep calling and complaining. Some people get upset at noisy cars. My brother knew they were calling the police and would purposely rev his engine every time he drove by someone's house. They would call and complain about everything.

I don't think I'm doing anything illegal so I don't usually worry about the police. Although I have heard about some officers on steroids and acting very aggressive. I've been stopped in my own town by what appeared to be more like a swat team. I was initially worried they were a gang of rednecks that were coming after me because I got in a turn lane and didn't let them in. They never signaled so I didn't think they were wanting to turn or I would have let them get in front of me, not a marked vehicle. I thought it might have been the vehicle that didn't signal and then they decided they were going to show me a thing or two. Sounds like the police. They even said they smelled alcohol but I said he must be smelling things as if he couldn't smell worth a hoot. He then asked if I had been drinking. I said about a week ago. After giving me the Nazi treatment, they let me go.
