Long rant, I need to vent!
Last night, I was at work in my downtown detroit bar, and we were raided by the vice. Honestly, it was more of a shakedown.
I have worked at this bar for over six years and I have never seen such an abuse of power. tickets were given out liberally and randomly, and they proceeded to stay for almost two hours looking for underage drinkers and watching girls on stage. This, of course, killed our business for the rest of the night. And they did not find one underage drinker
My bar is near our football stadium and last night was Motor City Bowl so the bar was packed. I was walking through the crowd and was grabbed by a vice and ticketed for wearing a mesh top. My nipples were "exposed"
when we went upstairs to be handed our tickets, I asked how much the ticket was for and what would happen to me in court. They told me it was up to the judge to decide how much I would pay, and so on. My ticket was for exposure, and the girls doing lap dances got tickets for prostitution siting "genital contact" (we are not an extras bar, so this should not be taken literally)
What makes me so furious, is that I pay almost 300 a year for this stupid dance liscense and then they come and ticket me for wearing a mesh top? I have never seen a set of rules for the city of detroits dance laws. I have worked for over six years, and I do know that the rules change every year, but I have only ever heard these rules by work of mouth. Other girls also got tickets for wearing g-strings and not full bottoms. I have NEVER heard of this happening in Detroit before. Shouldn't they have to tell us when we renew our card what the current rules are? is this legal?
Detroit is such a poor f-ed up city, and us girls are STRUGGLING to feed our familys without resorting to prostitution, and now the city wants to come and drain us even further. I have to BUST MY A** to make 300!!! I hate this city and all of its f*cking corrupt city officials. I hope Kwame gets what he deserves.
