What shameful crap. In a city with such a high per capita murder rate and an outright heroin epidemic, what are these heroes of the republic doing? Why arresting half naked girls for giving lapdances and showing too much titty of course!. i guess defenseless girls resist less than hardened criminals.
You're fucking idiots. Just coz you break the law and engage in solicitation doesn't mean its not a crime. You're too selective. Worst are the bigots who support police brutality against minorities, refuse to buy Nike products coz Nike makes a statement against police brutality. Yet you bemoan cops for arresting hoes just coz you're tricks.
I hear ya Icey and maybe you're right. Let's give the brothas in N. and W. JAX, that are killing each other and slinging addictive poison, a break for a few nights and go after a few bikini clad lapdance girls instead. Shoot, maybe they got S.W.A.T. and CSI involved in the action too. ;)
WTF... a charge for "simulating a sexual activity"? Have you ever had a private dance, even in a"clean club" that doesn't do that? Other than totally lame air dances of course. What are the actual laws in Jax I wonder?
And Icey, I don't see anywhere that article mentions solicitation as one of the charges. I'm wondering what they actually did that got them arrested and their pictures in the paper.
That's one thing that really confuses me about our police force. Compared to other developed countries, we really do have a high rate of serious crime that the police should be focusing on. We have gangs that shoot people, poison entire neighborhoods with their toxic influence, and purposely get kids addicted to crack and heroin and slip fentanyl into these drugs and all sorts of shit like that. Yet our police force often times is busy doing ridiculously sophisticated undercover sting operations with people getting hired to be a pretend criminal and having wires set up and getting bugged with microphones and stuff like that just to bust a liquor store that might occasionally sell alcohol to a 19 year old or to bust a prostitute or john having consensual sex.
What really confuses me is why people are willing to put up with this crap? Does anybody actually care if a 19 year old gets drunk sometimes? I mean, a lot of 19 year olds' own parents don't care anymore. If politicians are too lazy to change the law then that's whatever, but why are we paying the police to go to such ridiculous lengths in order to enforce it? Even among parents who do care if their 19 year old drinks, I imagine hardly any of them actually think this is a matter the police and judges should be handling but rather that it should be left up to the parents.
In European countries, they don't even card anybody at liquor stores. I've heard of 15 year olds managing to buy alcohol from liquor stores in Europe. In the US though we've started mandating that everybody who looks to be under the age of 40 be carded? I mean seriously wtf?
European laws tend to be enforced more equitably...
Strip club and massage parlor stings are serious....you're looking at not only prostitution but profiting off of prostitution, tax evasion, profiting off of an illegal business, etc...involvement of criminal gangs, money laundering, etc...
@IceyLoco........Seems that the law is mostly enforced selectively. You sound like a supporter of enforce the law as written. Thank you for being one of the few non-compromising voices on this site. STICK TO YOUR GUNS........before the liberals take them away and redistribute them to others.
CC99, compared to other industrialized nations we have a huge percapita homicide and gun crime rate. Gun control in the other countries is not necessarily the only factor either.
Some of it is that we have less of an economic safety net. Some is that we have a horrible history of race relations.
Some is that the NRA world view is pretty much the official doctrine of the Republican Party, and so lots of people, mostly white men and women, subscribe to it.
Icey, until not so many years ago, sodomy was against the law in a number of states. So should we have dedicated S.W.A.T. teams and undercover detectives to catching guys fucking each other in the ass? ;)
Morality laws are often lightly policed for a reason. Police departments have limited resources and when one allocates hundreds of man hours to busting consenting adults showing titty and giving lapdances, those resources aren't being used to stop violent crimes or catch felony offenders.

Thinking a law doesn't have to be followed because someone likes breaking said law, is an illogical argument.
