Appeals Court doesn't buy strip club dancer's claim, upholds speeding ticket
December 18, 2013 By Dar Danielson
The Iowa Court of Appeals has upheld the fine against a dancer at a strip club who claimed she was speeding out of fear for her life. A Dallas County deputy in an unmarked patrol car observed a car turn around behind him and take off at a high rate of speed near the Beach Girls strip club in December of 2011.
The deputy followed the car and clocked it on radar at ninety-nine miles an hour in a 55-mile-an-hour zone before stopping it. The driver of the car, Jennifer Wasson, said she was speeding because she thought the driver in the car was her ex-boyfriend or a customer stalking her and she was afraid for her life. Wasson appealed the $362 fine.
A magistrate ruled that Wasson didn't prove she was in immediate danger and needed to speed. The Court of Appeals agreed, ruling there is no substantial evidence that Wasson was in immediate danger without other options to protect herself. The court said for instance, she could have used her cell phone to call for help, or could have returned to the strip club to seek help instead of speeding away.

I don't doubt that some PL or cash starved Ex was chasing her down, but the court was right. She could have called the police, I doubt going to the club would help much, I don't get the impression that they care much what happens OTC.
BTW - I googled her name, and didn't see any photos that looked like a stripper.

All she had to do was give the cop some pussy & no ticket would have been issued

There are some entities in the world who don't put up with stories from lying thieving whores and have the power to punish for it.

I disagree with Alucard. Strippers lie more than any other segment of the population. Well, maybe the same as politicians.

Reminds me of the story where the trooper pulls over a guy for speeding and he tells the trooper, "My wife ran away with a trooper, and I thought you were bringing her back!"

I disagree with you rockstar666.

Strippers get a bad rap as speeders. I might have to agree with the reputation after hearing a few stories. Maybe it's just an age thing. After you get stopped and threatened with arrest, you slow down.
