  A raid of cocks and wallets happens every day.

  Yes we were raided Thursday night. Heard they were coming back for Friday dayshift, but I didn't stick around to find out if they did.

  They told us they were watching the club for a month and taking down dancers' names and came back to serve the citations for numerous "dirty dancing" infractions. Girls who had warrants were arrested.

  What is the world coming to – we are freaking going backwards – next the moral police will insist on dancers wearing burkas.

  No. Not good at all.

  Damn; this is what our tax dollars are doing? I'd rather use the money for free birth control and abortions to poor people.

  @Rockstar666, I have no wish to hand my money to broke bitches who can't keep their legs shut. If some people are so poor/cheap that can't even buy condoms/afford abortion, then they shouldn't fuck at all?One should hold responsibility for its own actions. Anyway, back to topic - with these elections coming, right now possible raids are my main fear, sigh.

  Let's be blunt. Were they raided for extras or just "dirty dances"?

  If the latter, I agree. Waste of tax payer money and least of all they really should find something better to do.

  The reality is that the open boob groping on the main floor is a fully citable offense, and it's more "allowed" at the HL than anywhere else in town except maybe Bandaids (same owner). Just a few years ago, boobs weren't being openly fondled on the main floor, that was reserved for the VIP room. Now everyone has their hands on every dancer's tits (except for Selena and Audrey) for $10/dance, and reserves VIP for the finishing touch. I don't know if this had anything to do with elections as opposed to just being an attempted course correction by LE. I'm also curious if this was LE or the Liquor Control folks. I just hope none of my faves got caught, and the FS return to some degree of normal soon.

  Haha, bad case of autocorrect in the last sentence! Meant to say "and THINGS return to some degree of normal soon"!

  I am out of Phoenix until October, or I would do a scouting trip, interview some dancers, try to get the scoop.

  OK, so I stopped in HL yesterday afternoon, and again late last night. Day shift around 4pm was really dead. Some of the girls are spooked and aren't allowing touching on the floor, but for others it was business as usual. I did learn who some of the ticketed dancers were, but I'm not gonna post that here. Night shift at about. midnight was a little slow, but things seemed pretty normal. I had a great set of laps on the floor with one fave (she was not ticketed), and she was as hands on as ever, and laughed when I accused her of watching the room to see if anyone was watching her! Didn't go to VIP on either visit, so not sure if mileage is reduced there. My impression is that this will blow over fairly quickly and life at the HL will be back to hands-on normal soon.

  I was at HL today. Yes, it was raided, along with the Candy Store and Centerfolds. 18 tickets each were issued at Candy Store and Centerfolds, and about 8-9 were issued at HL for lewd behavior. I'm told the Pink Rhino, along with another ghetto club, were closed down. The cops came in the previous Monday and Wednesday, made a note of who was doing what to whom while on the floor, and then came back on Friday in full force (30 cops!!!). One dancer told me that when she came to work the next day (Saturday), there were still over a dozen customer cars left in parking lot from the previous day (to avoid a possible DUI citation by the cops waiting outside). One dancer who had driven up from Tucson tried to make a run for it, and was of course stopped immediately. Interestingly, the cops inside were all allowed to drink alcoholic beverages while on duty, but could only base tickets from actions on the floor, not from VIP dances, due to the fact that there would be no witnesses in VIP. For me, I noticed no appreciable downturn in mileage on the floor from dancers who knew me, but definitely some caution from dancers who danced for me for the first time. There was NO loss of mileage in VIP, thankfully. CP

  I was at another club talking to a regular visitor to the Hiliter. He said he was having lunch last Friday when he stated "warrants" were served, not just tickets. Everybody I guess was wondering what was going on with several police in the building. I don't want to speculate since I wasn't there, but it sounded like no pl's were hurt, yet some dancers have consequences to pay. I was in the Hiliter earlier this week and saw the guy next table over me getting a blow job on the outside of his shorts. She was going down on him except he was covered with his clothes. I guess some girls didn't get the memo or else this is such a normal course of business for them that the citations will just blow over.

  I was there yesterday. It was business as usual. I had not been in about a year and was worried things would not be the same.

  Yeah - I think by now most Phoenix SCers would know what's up.
