Lap dances equated to prostitution

Detroit strip clubs
"Police on Wednesday announced that they would crack down on lap dances at strip clubs, saying the practice often meets the legal definition of prostitution."
This story is from Israel, but I wonder if this is the next step for the strip club haters in the US.

But even then, banning open lapdances is ridiculous. It seems like it would make prostitution worse because then it would probably force the dancers to pitch “just talking” in VIP.
In general, I think this forum under-appreciates when the first response to a topic nails it. We need some way to automatically give some tuscl acknowledgement when this happens. The forum software should allow us to give the first response a virtual LDK or something lol
In my view - if a lap dance doesn’t feel like an act of prostitution - I’m disappointed. I won’t tip as much if the dancer doesn’t put my cock in her pussy or mouth...
In San Francisco Dianne Feinstein tried to get Jim and Artie Mitchell convicted, on the interpretation that lap dancing is prostitution, and calling them the corporate pimps.
But with expert and expensive counsel, and with the newspapers on their side, mocking the police and the prosecution, Jim and Artie were acquitted.
But most defendants can be bullied into pleading guilty.
In Santa Clara County, our DA's office is committed to stoping SF Style Lap Dancing. They still hold to the position that lap dancing, or any contact or even flashing is prostitution. And so they will go to any ends, to bust people who challenge this and then to bullying them into a guilty plea.
Of the underground clubs I have spoken of, at their best, it came to an end when LE pulled each of the talent agents over, on Hy 101, each driving a van load of girls from San Jose to Gilroy. They were in jail for several months, felony charges pending, before they were even allowed to mortgage their homes as bail. Then of course with mandatory straight time awaiting, they had to plead guilty.
LE does not play fair.
