Missouri strip club law questions
Actually, sorry, I got some of that wrong. You can't be bottomless, I guess that's a rumor I never checked out.

Missouri strip club law questions
But this law involves juice bars. It makes it illegal to serve alcohol in a "sexually oriented business" which means it's illegal to wear less than a bikini in a strip club that serves alcohol. However, juice bars have a lot of restrictions as well. "3. No person shall knowingly or intentionally, in a sexually oriented business, appear in a state of nudity." #3 has nothing to do with alcohol. A dancer can either be topless or bottomless in a juice bar but not both. So, again, it's perfectly legal to be nude in a public place where it doesn't "cause affront or alarm" which would clearly not be the case inside the strip club. That means that they are singling out nude dancing within strip clubs which means this law doesn't pass the O'Brien Test. Right? Also, if nudity is allowed in public, I don't see how they can restrict distance between dancer and patron while semi-nude. You literally have to be 6 feet away from a topless woman inside a strip club but if you both go out onto the sidewalk, you can grab some titty and it's completely legal (as long as she consents, of course). Same idea with the hours, other businesses can be open. An art show can have topless women next door 24 hours a day but the strip club has to close at midnight. I don't see how anyone can not see that it's singling out erotic dancing which violates free speech rights.
