Authorities seek to clean-up bikini coffee stands

"Makes you wonder how many crimes were overlooked while the police conducted their 'lengthy' investigation."

Exactly...lol...

"The barista charged with indecent exposure, Bridget Barnhouse, 26, was seen 'shaking her butt' toward traffic July 10 while outside the stand at 11323 Highway 99, court papers say. The Snohomish woman was wearing a G-string and pasties, charges allege."

Come on...what a bunch of prudes...haven't these officials ever been to a public beach??

At least the Barista's were not playing football, encouraging the patrons to put one between the uprights.

"But then I read in the paper that she didn't think cops should be chasing after someone for merely having crack cocaine because she didn't think that was a crime. Not a crime? She is crazy."

Not a crime at all. Stripping and prostitution are more real crimes than crack cocaine. Before I hear whimpering that it is addictive----you can do the same sensationalism with alcohol. My family on my mother's side has alcoholism that is just as bad or worse than crack addiction.

BTW, if you look at the numbers and love government it makes a whole hell of a lot of sense to ban alcohol and smoking. And, you think crack cocaine is a crime, then alcohol for damn sure is under that type mentality. No, I've never tried crack cocaine----it seems like there is a genetic problem. Whites (I'm white) seem almost universally not to have fun with the crack---they don't like it. Legal bs isn't the issue for the whites that I know because they happily do other illegal drugs. Just because other whites didn't like crack kept me from trying? Not at all, but it was an influence. I've tried cocaine and didn't like it at all---it is nasty even when people you know are loving it telling you how wonderful it is. Not everyone reacts to drugs in the same manner. I'd pay NOT to take cocaine---it is like bad food---just put it in the garbage.

Fear of addiction? Gee, I got to see addiction first hand repeatedly. That for me, it is a zero deterrence because just as I can see addicts left right and center I also see people who aren't addicted even a little. Want to jump on the government's one size fits all train? Be my guest. Want to jump on the government's fear train? Be my guest. I say that because unfortunately most people, imo, are far better off letting their government do the thinking for them----you know a statesman such as Senator Kennedy or even an imbecile such as President Bush.

What, no mug shots?

"Drug deals going down, robbers breaking into homes and cars, people jaywalking across the street, hey it's a free for all, the cops are too busy watching the girls in bikinis."

Really though I am glad to see some cities have plenty of money and they can afford to hire police to watch girls in bikinis and even conduct extensive investigations. I'm just glad I'm not paying their taxes to support all of that.

It's things like that that remind me of one crazy mayor in a small town not far from me. I saw on the news where she looked crazy in response to a reporter coming to ask her some questions. She made it sound like she was on welfare even though she was the mayor. The reporter came to ask why she didn't allow the cops to chase after robbery suspects. She issued a new policy that police could not chase after criminals. A police officer hurt his foot chasing someone and was collecting workers comp which was driving up costs for the city. Anyway,she dropped that policy recently. But then I read in the paper that she didn't think cops should be chasing after someone for merely having crack cocaine because she didn't think that was a crime. Not a crime? She is crazy.

Sometimes I think what is considered criminal activity is only in the eye of the local crazy people. Someone thinks wearing bikinis while serving coffee should be a crime, then they have police conduct investigations. Someone else thinks merely having crack cocaine is not a crime, she orders police not to chase after criminals if they run. By the way, she dropped that policy and said the police could jump, run, jog, whatever they want to do while chasing after criminals now.

Grab N Go.
Good name for a strip club.

HA! I knew this would happen when Rick's went straight.

Makes you wonder how many crimes were overlooked while the police conducted their "lengthy" investigation.

This sounds like it would fit in well into a tourist city outside the US. (Amsterdam, etc.)

pop, I read the same article.In the past there have been other business's to try this route.Car washes, doughnut shops. Even barber shops. But it was just eye candy.
